Seco 00094815 Milling Insert SONX120508TR-ME08 F40M Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00094815 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI/ISO designation SONX120508TR-ME08 and manufacturer grade F40M. It features a square shape with a 90-degree included angle, four cutting edges, and a right-hand orientation. The insert is PVD-coated with TiAlN and TiN layers for heat and wear resistance during demanding milling operations. At 0.5 inches inscribed circle diameter, 0.2035 inches thick, and a corner radius of 0.0315 inches, it is sized for the SONX-12 series. The ME08 chip breaker geometry and T-Land cutting edge style support stable, positive-rake cutting across a range of workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and tooling technicians are the typical end users.

This insert is designed for face milling, shoulder milling, and general metal removal applications in both production and job-shop environments. Primary workpiece materials include steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. Secondary material compatibility extends to cast iron and non-ferrous metals. The maximum depth of cut reaches 0.4331 inches, making it suitable for moderate to aggressive passes in horizontal and vertical machining centers. The insert is compatible with the R220.99-12 cutter series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the spindle fully stopped and machine in a locked-out, tagged-out state. Seat the insert fully against the pocket locating surfaces before tightening the clamping screw; do not over-torque the screw. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating each new insert. Rotate to a fresh cutting edge before replacing the insert entirely to maximize material value.
