Seco 02625475 Turning Insert TGP25 Solid Carbide Neutral

Product Description

The SECO 02625475 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert in grade TGP25, designed for high-performance external and internal turning operations. It carries a Duratomic TiCN/Al2O3 coating applied through a physical vapor deposition process that extends edge life on demanding workpiece materials. The insert features a full radius geometry, a 0.393-inch maximum cutting width, a 0.216-inch cutting height, and a 0.197-inch corner radius. With a neutral hand orientation and a 7-degree relief angle, it suits a wide range of toolholder setups. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in metalworking shops specify this insert for finishing and semi-finishing passes on ferrous and stainless alloys.

This insert is intended for turning cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel workpieces, corresponding to ISO material groups K, M, and P. It belongs to SECO's MDT (Multi-Directional Turning) series, which is engineered for applications where the cutting direction changes during a single operation, such as profiling, copying, and face turning in a single tool path. The double-end configuration doubles the number of usable cutting edges per insert, reducing per-edge tooling cost in high-volume production environments. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Duratomic TiCN/Al2O3 coating provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability
• Full radius insert geometry suited for profiling and copy-turning operations
• Neutral hand orientation compatible with a broad range of MDT series toolholders
• Double-end design provides two usable cutting edges per insert
• MP chipbreaker controls chip flow across cast iron, stainless steel, and steel
• 7-degree relief angle reduces flank wear during continuous and interrupted cuts

Compatibility

Designed for use in MDT series toolholders accepting LCMF-style inserts; style designation LCMF3008M0-1000-MP. Verify toolholder pocket and clamping system specifications before installation. Specific compatible toolholder model numbers were not provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before accessing the toolholder pocket. Use the correct torx or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid stripping the clamp screw. Inspect the pocket seating surface for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure full, flat contact.
