Seco 02590852 Indexable Drill Insert SCGX12P1 DP2000 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02590852 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable insert drills, specifically within the Perfomax series platform. Featuring the SCGX insert style in a 90-degree square shape, this insert carries the DP2000 manufacturer grade with a Duratomic coating process for enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability. The inscribed circle measures 0.5000 inches (12.70 mm) and the insert size code is 12, with a corner radius of 0.0315 inches (0.80 mm). It is engineered for machining steel workpieces, making it suitable for production drilling operations where consistent performance and repeatable tool life are required.

This insert is intended for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and multi-spindle setups where the Perfomax indexable drill body is in use. The P1 chipbreaker geometry is optimized for primary workpiece material code P, meaning carbon and alloy steels. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling in steel components across aerospace, automotive, general manufacturing, and job-shop environments. Machinists and CNC operators working with Perfomax-compatible drill holders will find this insert to be a direct-fit replacement for periodic insert indexing or replacement cycles.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Perfomax series indexable drill bodies that accept the SCGX insert style with insert size code 12. Verify holder compatibility with the specific Perfomax drill body being used before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert indexing and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician with the machine fully powered down and spindle locked. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the drill body manufacturer when seating the insert to avoid over-torquing the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new or indexed insert. Handle carbide inserts with care, as the cutting edges are sharp and the material is brittle.
