Seco 02622994 Turning Insert TGP25 Solid Carbide 0.236in

Product Description

The SECO 02622994 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for external grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Grade TGP25 features a Duratomic TiCN/Al2O3 CVD coating applied over a solid carbide substrate, providing thermal resistance and wear protection during interrupted and continuous cuts. The insert follows LCMF style geometry with a double-end configuration, a neutral hand orientation, and an MP chipbreaker. Cutting width measures 0.236 inches, cutting height is 0.177 inches, and corner radius is 0.118 inches. Material grade C5 positions this insert for use on cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel workpieces.

This insert belongs to the SECO MDT (Multi-Directional Turning) series, which is engineered for operations that require both radial and axial cutting in a single pass. Typical applications include grooving, profiling, and turning on medium to high production turning cells. The double-end design extends usable insert life before replacement. The MP chipbreaker geometry handles moderate feed rates and chip control on both ferrous and stainless workpiece materials. This insert is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Compatibility

Designed for use in SECO MDT-series toolholders accepting LCMF1606M0 style inserts. Verify holder seat geometry and clamping style against the LCMF insert form before installation. No additional specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine spindle locked and all axes at rest. Seat the insert fully against the pocket and clamp per the toolholder manufacturer torque sequence using the appropriate Torx or hex driver. Inspect the insert seat for chips or contamination before seating a new insert, as debris will affect runout and cutting edge engagement. Follow the machine tool builder and toolholder manufacturer guidelines for clamping sequence and insert indexing.
