Seco 00072302 Turning Insert WNGP330.5MF1 CP200 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00072302 is a solid carbide trigon turning insert in the WNGP-MF1 series, designed for precision metal cutting in CNC and manual turning applications. It carries the CP200 manufacturer grade with a multilayer PVD TiAlN and TiN coating for extended tool life and thermal resistance. The insert features an 80-degree included angle, a 3/8 inch inscribed circle, and a sharp cutting edge geometry with the MF1 chip breaker. With 6 usable cutting edges and a neutral hand orientation, it delivers consistent performance across boring, facing, and turning operations. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert in compatible toolholders using clamp, pin, or lever lock holding methods.

This insert is engineered for primary use on stainless steel and superalloys including titanium, with secondary capability on steel and cast iron. It is well suited to light-to-medium finishing and semi-finishing passes where precise chip control and a sharp edge are critical. The MF1 chip breaker geometry keeps chip evacuation clean at tighter depths of cut, making this insert a practical choice for close-tolerance work on difficult-to-machine materials in both production shop and job shop environments.

Key Features

• CP200 grade solid carbide with multilayer PVD TiAlN and TiN coating for heat and wear resistance
• MF1 chip breaker with sharp cutting edge for controlled chip formation on stainless steel and superalloys
• 6 usable cutting edges per insert for extended service life per unit cost
• Neutral hand insert compatible with clamp, pin, and lever lock toolholders
• Rated for boring, facing, and turning in a single insert geometry
• Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code WNGG060402-MF1

Compatibility

Designed for use in WNGP-style toolholders that accept a 3/8 inch inscribed circle trigon insert with clamp, pin, or lever lock holding. Suitable for CNC lathes and manual turning centers running stainless steel, superalloys, titanium, steel, and cast iron workpieces. Verify toolholder clearance code N and tolerance code G compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Before indexing or replacing the insert, power down the spindle and confirm the machine is in a safe lockout state per shop safety procedures. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and tighten the clamp, pin, or lever lock mechanism according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut of 0.252 inches as listed for this insert geometry.
