Seco 02625482 Turning Insert TGP25 Solid Carbide Mdt

Product Description

The SECO 02625482 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert in the MDT series, grade TGP25, designed for high-performance turning operations on cast iron, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. This insert features a Duratomic TiCN/Al2O3 coating applied via a controlled coating process that enhances wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge. With a neutral hand orientation and a double-ended configuration, it delivers versatile cutting geometry in a compact LCMF160404-0400-MC style body. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians use this insert in multi-directional turning toolholders where consistent chip control and edge integrity are required across varied material grades.

This insert is suited for both roughing and finishing passes in production and job-shop turning environments. Its MC chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation across the primary workpiece materials designated K, M, and P — corresponding to cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon or alloy steel. The C5 material grade positions it for interrupted cuts and variable-feed applications where toughness and coating adhesion matter. It fits LCMF-style MDT toolholders configured for 4.00 mm maximum cutting width applications. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with Duratomic TiCN/Al2O3 coating for extended tool life on ferrous materials
• Neutral hand, double-end configuration allows use in multiple cutting directions
• MC chipbreaker geometry promotes reliable chip control across cast iron, stainless steel, and steel
• 0.016 inch corner radius minimizes surface stress at the cutting edge entry point
• LCMF insert style with 7-degree relief angle supports clearance in close-tolerance turning operations
• C5 material grade offers a balance of hardness and toughness for interrupted and continuous cuts

Compatibility

Designed for use in LCMF-style multi-directional turning toolholders within the SECO MDT series, compatible with applications requiring a maximum cutting width of 4.00 mm (0.157 inches) and insert size code 160404.

Installation Notes

Installation and indexing of this insert should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked out before toolholder access. Use the correct torque wrench and clamping hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert seat and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating the insert. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's setup documentation for proper insert orientation and clamping sequence.
