Seco 02620532 Turning Insert Vbmt 222-F1 CP500 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02620532 is a VBMT 222-F1 series indexable turning insert manufactured from solid carbide with a multilayer TiAlN and TiN PVD coating in the CP500 grade. It carries a 35-degree diamond shape (V-style), a 0.25 inch inscribed circle, and a 0.0315 inch corner radius. The F1 chip breaker geometry produces a sharp cutting edge suited for finishing and light-to-medium material removal. Neutral hand orientation and positive rake geometry make it a versatile option for CNC turning centers. Installation is performed by licensed machinists or tooling specialists using screw-style insert clamping.

The 02620532 is designed primarily for machining stainless steel (ISO material group M) and is also rated for steel, cast iron, and super-alloys including titanium. Typical applications include back turning, facing, profiling, and general turning operations. The insert conforms to both ANSI and ISO standards, with the ISO designation VBMT110308-F1 and industry standard number VBMT222-F1. It is well-suited to production environments where consistent surface finish on difficult-to-machine alloys is required. Material grades M10, M20, and M30 are covered within its rated operating range.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque driver for the screw-clamp holding system to avoid insert cracking or improper seating. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for wear or debris before installing a new insert.
