Seco 02594115 Milling Insert APFT1604PDTR-D15 MP1500

Product Description

The SECO 02594115 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI and ISO designation APFT1604PDTR-D15 in manufacturer grade MP1500. This parallelogram-shaped, single-sided insert is designed for indexable milling operations and seats into compatible cutter bodies via a screw-holding method. It features a CVD-applied Duratomic coating of TiCN and Al2O3, which provides thermal resistance and wear protection during interrupted and continuous cuts. With a positive rake angle of 8 degrees, an 11-degree relief angle, and a T-Land cutting edge style, the insert is engineered to reduce cutting forces on the primary workpiece material of steel while maintaining edge integrity. Licensed HVAC and industrial technicians are replaced here by machinists and CNC operators who rely on these inserts for high-productivity face and shoulder milling.

This insert is suited for milling steel, cast iron, and hard materials in both roughing and finishing applications. The D15 chip breaker geometry is optimized for medium to heavy material removal rates on steel and cast iron workpieces. The right-hand cut orientation and positive rake make this a practical choice for general-purpose milling setups on CNC machining centers. Compatible cutter series include the R217.69-16 and R220.69-16 bodies as stated by the manufacturer. The insert is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide fine-grain substrate with CVD Duratomic TiCN and Al2O3 coating for extended tool life
• Parallelogram insert shape (APFT style) with 85-degree included angle and positive rake geometry
• T-Land cutting edge style reduces chipping during interrupted cuts on steel and cast iron
• Two cutting edges per insert, right-hand orientation, screw-clamped mounting
• D15 chip breaker optimized for steel, cast iron, and hard material applications
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.622 inches with a cutting edge effective length of 0.6476 inches

Compatibility

Compatible with SECO cutter series R217.69-16 and R220.69-16 as specified by the manufacturer. Primary workpiece material code P (steel); secondary workpiece material codes K (cast iron) and H (hard material). Conforms to ISO standards with ANSI and ISO code APFT1604PDTR-D15.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle completely before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to the cutter body manufacturer's specified torque as listed in the cutter body documentation — do not estimate clamp force by feel. Inspect the cutter pocket seating surface for chips or burrs before seating the insert to ensure proper contact and runout.
