Seco 00096862 Turning Insert CNGP432F-MF1 CP500 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00096862 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CNGP432F-MF1 series, designed for precision finishing operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a manufacturer grade of CP500 with a multilayer PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN coating, providing moderate to high wear resistance and toughness across a range of workpiece materials. The insert features an 80-degree diamond (rhombic) shape, a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, a 3/16-inch thickness, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. Four cutting edges and a sharp cutting edge style make it well-suited to finishing passes where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are the priority.

This insert is intended for finishing applications including turning, boring, and facing operations. It is rated for use on stainless steel as the primary workpiece material, with secondary suitability for steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. The MF1 chip breaker geometry is optimized for finishing cuts, and the neutral hand orientation supports flexible toolholder pairing. Material grade designations M10, M20, and M30 reflect performance across moderate wear-resistance to high toughness application ranges in steel, cast iron, and special alloy categories under ISO P, K, and S classifications.

Key Features

• CP500 grade with multilayer PVD TiAlN and TiN coating for wear resistance across steel, cast iron, and superalloy applications
• 80-degree diamond insert shape with sharp cutting edge style for clean finishing passes
• MF1 chip breaker geometry optimized for finishing operations
• Four usable cutting edges per insert for extended tool life per unit
• Neutral hand insert compatible with clamp, pin, and lever lock holding methods
• Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards; ANSI code CNGP432, ISO code CNGP120408

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNGP-style toolholders that accept a 1/2-inch inscribed circle, 80-degree diamond insert with clamp, pin, or lever lock holding. Suitable for CNC turning, boring, and facing applications on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machining personnel following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping specifications for CNGP-style inserts. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or indexing the insert. Ensure the insert pocket and clamping surfaces are clean and free of chips before securing. Follow shop safety procedures and applicable OSHA machining standards when handling sharp carbide inserts.
