Seco 02625451 Turning Insert TGP25 Solid Carbide 0.236 in

Product Description

The SECO 02625451 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert in the MDT series, designed for single-end grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the TGP25 manufacturer grade with a Duratomic TiCN/Al2O3 coating applied through a chemical vapor deposition process, delivering wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge. The insert features a neutral hand orientation with an LCMR insert style and MP chipbreaker geometry, making it suitable for a range of chip control demands. Cutting width is 0.236 inches, cutting height is 0.177 inches, and the corner radius is 0.118 inches, which indicates a full-radius profile. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments are the primary installers.

This insert is rated for primary workpiece materials including cast iron, stainless steel, and steel, corresponding to ISO material codes K, M, and P. The MDT series multi-directional design allows feed in multiple directions, which is useful in grooving, profiling, and turning operations where a single insert must handle varied tool paths. The full-radius geometry and 7-degree relief angle suit applications where smooth surface finish and controlled chip evacuation are critical. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• TGP25 grade with Duratomic TiCN/Al2O3 coating for wear and heat resistance on ferrous materials
• Full-radius insert profile with 0.118 inch corner radius for smooth profiling passes
• MP chipbreaker geometry for controlled chip formation across a range of feed rates
• Neutral hand orientation suits both left- and right-hand toolholder configurations
• 7-degree relief angle reduces flank wear in cast iron and steel turning applications
• Single-end design in LCMR1606M0-0600-MP style for precise toolholder seating

Compatibility

Designed for use in LCMR-style toolholders compatible with the MDT series insert system. Confirm toolholder pocket geometry and insert size code 1606M0 before installation. Specific toolholder model compatibility should be verified against SECO MDT series toolholder documentation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine in a safe, de-energized state and all spindle motion stopped. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not over-torque the clamping screw, as this can fracture carbide inserts. Inspect the toolholder pocket for debris or wear before seating the insert. Verify insert orientation and hand before initiating a test cut.
