Seco 02430103 Turning Insert CCMT3251F1 CP200 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02430103 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CCMT-F1 series, designed for precision metal cutting in CNC and manual lathe applications. It carries a multilayer PVD TiAlN and TiN coating under the CP200 manufacturer grade, targeting stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium as primary workpiece materials. The insert features an 80-degree diamond shape, a 7-degree relief angle, and a sharp cutting edge style with an F1 chip breaker geometry. With a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1/64-inch corner radius, it suits finishing and semi-finishing passes where tight tolerances and surface quality matter. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert in screw-clamped toolholders.

This insert is rated for boring, facing, and turning operations. It performs best on stainless steel and superalloys and titanium (ISO material codes M and S), with secondary suitability for steel and cast iron (ISO codes P and K). The F1 chip breaker geometry supports positive-rake cutting, which reduces cutting forces and heat generation — important when machining work-hardening alloys. The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with both right-hand and left-hand toolholder setups. Material grades M01, M10, M20, S10, and S20 are covered. Industry standard designations are CCMT32.51-F1 and ISO code CCMT09T304-F1.

Key Features

• CP200 grade multilayer PVD coating: TiAlN plus TiN for heat and wear resistance on difficult alloys
• 80-degree diamond insert shape with 7-degree clearance angle (code C) for versatile entry angles
• F1 chip breaker geometry with sharp cutting edge for positive-rake, low-force cutting
• Screw-clamped insert holding method — compatible with standard CCMT-style toolholders
• Neutral hand orientation for use in right-hand or left-hand toolholder setups
• Rated for boring, facing, and turning — multi-use application in one insert style

Compatibility

Designed for use in CCMT-style screw-clamped turning toolholders conforming to ANSI and ISO standards. Industry standard designations CCMT32.51-F1 and ISO CCMT09T304-F1 apply. Verify toolholder pocket geometry and screw size before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down or lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the toolholder pocket and torque the clamping screw per the toolholder manufacturer specification — do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert to avoid cracking the carbide substrate.
