Seco 02615955 Cnmp 432-M1 TS2500 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The SECO 02615955 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CNMP-M1 series, designed for high-performance metal cutting in demanding machining environments. It carries a multilayer TiAlN and TiN PVD coating under the manufacturer grade TS2500, which provides thermal resistance and wear protection during interrupted and continuous cuts. The insert features an 80-degree diamond shape, a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, a 1/32-inch (0.0315-inch) corner radius, and a 3/16-inch insert thickness. With four cutting edges and a honed cutting edge style, it delivers consistent performance across boring, facing, and turning operations. The M1 chip breaker geometry is optimized for the primary workpiece material category of superalloys and titanium.

This insert is suited for CNC turning centers and boring applications in both production and job-shop environments. It is intended for use on superalloys and titanium as the primary workpiece material, with secondary compatibility across steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The negative rake geometry and neutral hand orientation make it adaptable to a range of toolholder setups. It is appropriate for use by machinists and tooling specialists working on aerospace, energy, and general precision-machining applications where tool life and edge consistency are critical. The maximum depth of cut reaches 0.4764 inches, supporting moderate to aggressive stock removal.

Key Features

• 80-degree diamond insert shape with four usable cutting edges for cost-effective tooling rotation
• M1 chip breaker geometry optimized for superalloys and titanium primary machining
• Honed cutting edge style reduces micro-chipping on hard and abrasive materials
• Compatible with clamp, pin, and lever-lock holding methods for flexible toolholder integration
• PVD coating process preserves sharp edge geometry compared to CVD alternatives

Compatibility

Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards. ISO equivalent code is CNMG120408-M1. Industry standard number is CNMP432-M1. Compatible with toolholders accepting clamp, pin, or lever-lock insert holding methods in the CNMP insert style. Suitable for boring, facing, and turning operations on superalloys, titanium, steel, stainless steel, and cast iron workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians following shop safety and machine lockout procedures. Power down and de-energize the machine tool before seating or rotating the insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer when securing the insert. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before installing a fresh edge to ensure proper contact and dimensional accuracy.
