Seco 02615873 Turning Insert Ccmt 21.51-F1 TS2000 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02615873 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CCMT-F1 series, designed for high-precision metal cutting operations including turning, facing, and boring. It carries an ANSI insert code of CCMT21.51 and an ISO code of CCMT060204. The insert is coated with a multilayer TiAlN and TiN PVD coating under the TS2000 manufacturer grade, delivering high wear resistance suited to demanding cutting environments. With a 0.25-inch inscribed circle, a 0.0157-inch corner radius, and four usable cutting edges, this insert is built for finishing operations where surface quality and dimensional accuracy are critical. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in production shops are the primary users.

This insert is applied in finishing-grade turning, facing, and boring of stainless steel, superalloys, titanium, steel, cast iron, and hard materials. The F1 chip breaker geometry is optimized for finishing passes with light to moderate depths of cut, with a maximum depth of cut of 0.2362 inches. The positive rake and positive side clearance geometry reduce cutting forces and help maintain edge integrity on difficult-to-machine alloys. It is suited to both light production runs and high-precision part work in aerospace, medical, and general manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• CCMT-F1 series with 80-degree diamond (rhombic) insert shape for rigid, low-vibration cutting
• Multilayer TiAlN and TiN PVD coating (TS2000 grade) for high wear resistance across steel, stainless, and hard material applications
• F1 chip breaker geometry optimized for finishing operations with sharp cutting edge style
• Four usable cutting edges per insert for extended tooling economy
• Positive rake and positive side clearance reduce cutting forces on difficult alloys
• Screw-type insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in CCMT-style toolholders accepting a 1/4-inch inscribed circle insert with screw clamping. Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards (ANSI: CCMT21.51-F1, ISO: CCMT060204-F1). Multi-use application across turning, facing, and boring operations. Verify toolholder clearance code C and tolerance code M compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician with the machine powered down and all axes at rest. Ensure the insert pocket and seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Use the correct torque driver for the clamping screw to avoid cracking the carbide substrate — refer to the toolholder manufacturer specifications for screw torque. Inspect the cutting edge and chip breaker geometry before each use and replace at first sign of chipping or edge wear.
