Seco 02656060 SEEX1204AFN-M10 MP3000 Milling Insert

Product Description

The SECO 02656080 SEEX1204AFN-M10 is a solid carbide milling insert designed for face and shoulder milling operations in demanding material applications. Built to the SEEX-12 series standard, this square insert carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, providing thermal resistance and wear protection at the cutting edge. It measures 0.5 inches in width and length, with a thickness of 0.1874 inches and a corner radius of 0.0441 inches. Four cutting edges and a positive rake geometry allow for efficient chip evacuation. Machining professionals and CNC operators install this insert in compatible milling cutters for production work on steel, stainless steel, and hard materials.

This insert is suited for milling applications involving steel, stainless steel, and hard materials classified under ISO material groups P, M, and H. The neutral hand orientation and honed cutting edge style make it appropriate for both finishing and semi-finishing passes. It is designed for use in controlled CNC milling environments, typically in job shops, aerospace component machining, and general metalworking facilities. The maximum depth of cut reaches 0.3425 inches, and the effective cutting edge length is 0.5000 inches, making it capable of handling moderate material removal rates in precision applications.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to the cutter body manufacturer specification. Inspect the pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before installing a new insert to prevent seating errors.
