Seco 02615896 Cnmp 432-MF1 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The SECO 02615896 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CNMP-MF1 series, designed for precision metal removal in demanding CNC turning applications. It features an 80-degree diamond shape (Insert Shape Code C) with a neutral hand orientation and a negative rake geometry. The insert carries a multilayer PVD TiAlN and TiN coating under the TS2000 grade designation, providing thermal and wear resistance suited to high-temperature cutting environments. The inscribed circle measures 0.5 inches, the corner radius is 0.0315 inches (1/32 inch), and the MF1 chip breaker promotes controlled chip flow during light-to-medium finish passes. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert in compatible toolholders using clamp, pin, or lever-lock holding methods.

This insert is engineered primarily for stainless steel and superalloys including titanium, where controlled chip formation and edge toughness are critical. It also performs on secondary materials including steel, cast iron, and hard materials. Suitable multi-use applications include boring, facing, and turning operations on CNC lathes in both job-shop and production environments. The honed cutting edge style reduces micro-chipping risk on difficult-to-machine alloys. This insert conforms to ANSI and ISO standards and carries the ISO designation CNMG120408-MF1, making it straightforward to cross-reference against existing tooling programs.

Key Features

• TS2000 grade multilayer PVD coating: TiAlN plus TiN for heat and wear resistance on difficult alloys
• 80-degree diamond geometry with negative rake and 0-degree relief angle for stable, rigid cutting
• MF1 chip breaker optimized for light-to-medium finishing on stainless steel and superalloys
• Four cutting edges per insert maximize tool life and reduce cost per edge
• Honed cutting edge style reduces micro-chipping on hard and abrasive workpiece materials
• Compatible holding methods: clamp, pin, and lever lock for flexible toolholder selection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard CNMP-series insert for toolholders accepting CNMP 432 geometry inserts per ANSI and ISO standards. ISO designation CNMG120408-MF1 can be used for direct cross-reference. Primary workpiece materials are stainless steel and superalloys including titanium; secondary materials include steel, cast iron, and hard materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench or clamping screw driver as specified by the toolholder manufacturer for clamp, pin, or lever-lock styles. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper contact and alignment.
