Seco 02625446 Turning Insert TGP25 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02625446 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert in the MDT series, designed for precision single-end turning operations across a range of metalworking applications. Manufactured to grade TGP25 with a Duratomic TiCN/Al2O3 coating process, this insert delivers consistent performance on cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel workpieces. It features a cutting width of 0.157 inches, a cutting height of 0.177 inches, and a corner radius of 0.016 inches. The neutral hand orientation and MT chipbreaker geometry make it adaptable across multiple turning directions without toolholder repositioning. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shop or production environments rely on this insert for grooving and turning with repeatable results.

This insert is suited for use in CNC lathes and turning centers handling cast iron, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. The MDT series platform targets multi-directional turning applications where a single insert must handle both axial and radial cutting paths. It is installed by machinists and tooling technicians in production, maintenance, and job shop environments. Primary workpiece material codes are K (cast iron), M (stainless steel), and P (steel), aligning with ISO material classification standards. The insert length of 0.630 inches and a relief angle of 7 degrees support stable engagement in typical turning and light grooving operations.

Key Features

• Grade TGP25 solid carbide with Duratomic TiCN/Al2O3 coating for extended tool life on ferrous materials
• Neutral hand orientation supports multi-directional turning without toolholder changes
• MT chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation on steel and stainless steel
• 0.016 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge
• Relief angle of 7 degrees provides clearance and reduces flank wear on harder workpiece materials
• Single-end design with LCMR insert style and size code 160404 for standard MDT toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with MDT series multi-directional turning toolholders accepting LCMR-style inserts with size code 160404. Compatible primary workpiece materials include cast iron (K), stainless steel (M), and steel (P) per ISO material classification.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or insert-clamping wrench as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the insert securely without overtightening. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert.
