Seco 02625440 Turning Insert TGP25 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02625440 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for precision external turning and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to grade TGP25 with a Duratomic TiCN/Al2O3 coating process, this insert delivers controlled cutting performance across a range of workpiece materials. The neutral hand orientation and double-end configuration extend usable tool life. Cutting width is 0.197 inches, cutting height is 0.177 inches, and the corner radius is 0.031 inches. Relief angle is 7 degrees. This insert is intended for machinists and toolroom technicians working in production and job-shop turning environments.

This insert fits SECO MDT series toolholders and is styled to the LCMF160508-0500-FT specification. The FT chipbreaker geometry is suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes in multi-directional turning applications. The double-end design allows the insert to be indexed, reducing per-cut tooling cost in high-cycle production environments. Typical applications include external grooving, turning, and face grooving on ferrous and non-ferrous materials where consistent chip control and surface finish are required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction, material grade C5, for rigidity and wear resistance in turning operations
• Duratomic TiCN/Al2O3 multilayer coating for extended tool life and thermal resistance
• Double-end configuration allows indexing to maximize insert value
• Neutral hand insert compatible with standard MDT series tooling setups
• FT chipbreaker geometry promotes reliable chip evacuation during finishing passes
• 0.031 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge

Compatibility

Designed for use with SECO MDT series toolholders accepting LCMF-style inserts. Insert style is LCMF160508-0500-FT. Verify toolholder pocket geometry and clamping system against insert dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine spindle fully stopped and locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Seat the insert fully into the toolholder pocket and torque the clamping screw according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the insert seat and clamping components for debris or damage before seating a new insert. Do not use a damaged or chipped insert.
