Seco 00096872 Turning Insert DCMT32.52-F1 CP500 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00096872 is a solid carbide turning insert in the DCMT series, grade CP500, designed for precision finishing operations on metallic workpieces. It carries a multilayer TiAlN and TiN PVD coating that delivers a balance of wear resistance and toughness across a range of materials. The insert features a 55-degree diamond (rhombic) shape, a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, a 1/32-inch corner radius, and a neutral hand orientation. The F1 chip breaker geometry is optimized for finishing cuts, producing controlled chips and sharp cutting edges suited to close-tolerance work. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists install this insert in compatible tool holders as part of routine insert indexing.

This insert is intended for turning, facing, boring, and back turning operations. Its primary workpiece material is stainless steel, with broad secondary suitability for steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. Material grade designations M10, M20, and M30 indicate coverage across moderate to high wear-resistance and toughness demands within the P, K, and S ISO application categories. The insert is well suited to both CNC turning centers and manual lathes where finish quality and dimensional accuracy are the priority. It ships in individual package quantity of one, with a minimum order quantity of ten units.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard stocking insert for DCMT-series tool holders conforming to ANSI insert code DCMT32.52 and ISO insert code DCMT11T308. No specific holder model numbers were provided in the input; verify holder compatibility against ANSI and ISO seating specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Always index or replace inserts with the machine powered down and spindle locked. Use the correct torque driver for the insert clamping screw to avoid seat damage or insert fracture — refer to the tool holder manufacturer torque specification, which is not supplied here. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating a new insert.
