Seco 02526163 Milling Insert SNHQ110202TL4-M07 F40M Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02526163 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying manufacturer part number SNHQ110202TL4-M07 and grade F40M. The insert features a square SNHQ-style geometry with a 90-degree included angle, four cutting edges, and a left-hand orientation. A PVD-applied TiAlN plus TiN dual coating provides thermal and wear resistance for demanding milling applications. The T-Land cutting edge style and negative rake geometry at 20 degrees deliver controlled chip formation, while the M07 chip breaker is tuned for medium-range depths of cut up to 0.0827 inches. The insert measures 0.0906 inches thick with an inscribed circle of 0.4331 inches.

This insert is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. It is compatible with the SECO 335.19-11 cutter series and follows the SNHQ-11 series designation. Typical applications include face milling and shoulder milling operations in production environments where consistent tool life across multiple materials is required. The insert is held in the cutter body by screw clamping. Installers should verify left-hand orientation against the target cutter pocket before seating the insert.

Key Features

• Solid carbide fine-grain substrate, grade F40M, for strength in interrupted and continuous cuts
• PVD TiAlN plus TiN dual coating for elevated-temperature wear resistance
• Four cutting edges on a single-sided square insert maximize usable life per insert
• M07 chip breaker optimized for steel, cast iron, and superalloy chip control
• T-Land cutting edge style with negative rake reduces edge chipping on hard workpieces
• Left-hand insert hand — verify cutter pocket orientation before installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with the SECO 335.19-11 cutter series. Follows ANSI and ISO code SNHQ110202TL4-M07 for cross-reference. Suitable for primary workpiece materials coded P (steel), K (cast iron), and S (superalloys and titanium), with secondary suitability for K (cast iron) and N (non-ferrous metals).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC tooling specialists using the appropriate Torx or hex key for the cutter body screw seat. Confirm the cutter pocket is clean and free of debris before seating the insert. Verify left-hand designation matches the pocket orientation — installing a mismatched-hand insert will result in immediate edge failure. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and cutter body manufacturer guidelines for screw torque and insert indexing procedure.
