Seco 00072266 RCGS2 CP200 Solid Carbide Profiling Insert

Product Description

The SECO 00072266 is a round solid carbide profiling insert in the RCGS2 series, designed for profiling and turning operations on CNC lathes and machining centers. It carries the CP200 manufacturer grade and is finished with a PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN dual coating for extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The insert measures 0.25 inches in inscribed circle diameter, 0.25 inches in length, and 0.3594 inches thick, with a 0.1250-inch corner radius and a 7-degree relief angle. Four cutting edges are available per insert. The positive rake geometry and T-Lock holding system support stable clamping via clamp or pin. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for profiling and turning applications on a range of workpiece materials. Primary material codes include P (steel), M (stainless steel), S (superalloys and titanium), and H (hard materials). Secondary applications cover cast iron and additional steel grades. The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with both left- and right-hand toolholders in standard RCGS-style seats. Maximum depth of cut is 0.1250 inches, which positions this insert for finish and semi-finish profiling passes where precision and surface quality are priorities. ISO code designation is RCGS6.35-46, also catalogued under RCGS2-46.

Key Features

• CP200 grade with PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN coating for wear resistance in steel, stainless, and superalloy cutting
• Round RCGS2 shape with 360-degree included angle and 4 indexable cutting edges
• Positive rake geometry with 7-degree relief angle and chipbreaker designation 46
• T-Lock series design; accepts clamp or pin holding methods
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible toolholder compatibility
• ISO code RCGS6.35-46; cross-listed under RCGS2-46

Compatibility

Designed for use in RCGS-style toolholders that accept a 0.25-inch inscribed circle round insert with T-Lock geometry. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, superalloys, titanium, hard materials, and cast iron as identified by material codes P, M, S, and H. Verify seat geometry and clamping method with the toolholder specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. Shut down the spindle and follow machine lockout/tagout procedures before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate T-Lock clamp or pin hardware specified for the toolholder; do not substitute incompatible clamping components. Inspect the insert pocket seat for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure full contact and accurate positioning.
