Seco 02625439 Turning Insert TGP25 Solid Carbide 0.236 in

Product Description

The SECO 02625439 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert in the MDT series, designed for precision turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. This insert carries the TGP25 manufacturer grade and features a Duratomic TiCN/Al2O3 coating applied through a controlled deposition process. The double-end, neutral-hand configuration and LCMF160604-0600-FT style allow the insert to be indexed for extended tool life. A 7-degree relief angle and FT chipbreaker geometry make it suited for consistent chip control across a range of ferrous workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and CNC programmers typically specify this insert for its repeatable cutting geometry in high-production environments.

This insert is engineered for turning cast iron, stainless steel, and steel workpieces, corresponding to ISO material codes K, M, and P. The MDT series multi-directional design accommodates axial and radial cutting paths, making it applicable in both roughing and finishing passes depending on feed and depth parameters. It fits standard LCMF-style toolholders and is appropriate for both vertical and horizontal turning center configurations in job-shop and production environments.

Key Features

• TGP25 grade with Duratomic TiCN/Al2O3 coating for wear resistance on ferrous materials
• Double-end design allows indexing to extend usable insert life
• Neutral hand orientation fits a wide range of LCMF-compatible toolholders
• FT chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip formation across feed ranges
• 7-degree relief angle reduces cutting force and edge rubbing
• Full-radius: No — defined corner radius of 0.016 inches for controlled surface finish

Compatibility

Compatible with LCMF-style toolholders designed for the MDT series. Insert style code is LCMF160604-0600-FT. Designed for turning cast iron, stainless steel, and steel workpieces (ISO codes K, M, P). No specific machine model compatibility was provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed per the toolholder manufacturer torque specifications using the appropriate Torx or hex key — never over-torque the clamp screw. Power down and lock out the spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating a new insert, as contamination will affect runout and surface finish. CNC programmers should verify feed rate and depth of cut against the TGP25 grade application guidelines before first use.
