Seco 02638285 Milling Insert XOEX120408R-M07 MS2500

Product Description

The SECO 02638285 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI/ISO designation XOEX120408R-M07 and manufactured to the MS2500 grade. It is designed for demanding face and shoulder milling operations, primarily targeting superalloys, titanium, steel, and stainless steel. The insert features a CVD-applied dual-layer coating of TiCN and Al2O3 for heat resistance and wear life at elevated cutting temperatures. With a positive rake angle of 20.3 degrees and a honed cutting edge style, the insert delivers controlled chip flow and reduced cutting forces. Toolroom machinists and CNC machining center operators working in aerospace, energy, and precision manufacturing will find this insert suited to high-performance interrupted and continuous milling cuts.

This insert is intended for use in milling applications where workpiece materials include superalloys, titanium, steel, and stainless steel — material application codes S, P, and M under ISO classification. The XOEX120408R-M07 is a right-hand, single-sided insert in the XOEX-12 series. It is compatible with SECO cutter bodies in the R217.69-12 and R220.69-12 series. The M07 chip breaker geometry is suited to medium-grain material grades and variable depth-of-cut scenarios common in roughing-to-semi-finish milling passes.

Key Features

• CVD coating with TiCN and Al2O3 layers for thermal and abrasion resistance in high-temperature alloy cutting
• MS2500 manufacturer grade optimized for superalloys and titanium primary applications
• Positive rake angle of 20.3 degrees reduces cutting forces and heat generation at the insert edge
• Honed cutting edge style for controlled micro-geometry and consistent edge integrity
• Right-hand orientation with screw holding method for secure seating in compatible cutter bodies
• Two cutting edges per insert for extended usable tool life per unit

Compatibility

Compatible with SECO cutter body series R217.69-12 and R220.69-12. Designed as a replacement or production insert for milling operations using the XOEX-12 insert platform.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machining center operators or toolroom technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the cutter body secured before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key to the cutter body manufacturer torque specification for screw-held inserts — do not over-torque the clamping screw. Confirm correct insert orientation (right-hand) and seating before resuming cutting operations.
