Seco 02660152 Milling Insert VPGX220608PDER-E10 H25

Product Description

The SECO 02660152 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI and ISO designation VPGX220608PDER-E10 in manufacturer grade H25. This single-sided, right-hand insert features a 35-degree diamond shape with a positive rake angle of 25 degrees and a honed cutting edge for clean, consistent chip formation. It is uncoated bright finish, making it well suited for applications where coating buildup would be a disadvantage. With two cutting edges, a 0.5 inch inscribed circle, and a maximum depth of cut of 0.5591 inches, it delivers reliable material removal in demanding milling operations. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians install this insert as a direct replacement or new tooling component in compatible milling cutter bodies.

This insert is designed primarily for milling non-ferrous metals and secondarily for superalloys and titanium, making it a strong choice for aerospace, defense, and precision machining environments where tight tolerances and surface finish matter. The E10 chip breaker geometry supports efficient chip evacuation in these material groups. The insert is held in place by a screw-type clamping method, standard in the VPGX-22 series. Compatible cutter series include R217.97-V22 and R220.97-V22. It is suitable for both production shop and job shop environments running vertical or horizontal milling centers.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin substrate with bright uncoated finish for non-ferrous and superalloy milling
• Diamond insert shape with 35-degree included angle and positive 25-degree rake for reduced cutting forces
• E10 chip breaker geometry engineered for effective chip control in non-ferrous metals and titanium
• Honed cutting edge style provides consistent edge prep across both cutting edges
• Screw-type insert holding method ensures secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders
• Right-hand cutting orientation; single-sided construction for straightforward indexing

Compatibility

Compatible with SECO cutter series R217.97-V22 and R220.97-V22. Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards under the designation VPGX220608PDER-E10. Intended for use in milling applications targeting non-ferrous metals and superalloys including titanium.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the milling spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to the cutter body manufacturer's specified seating procedure when tightening the clamping screw; do not over-torque, as this can fracture the carbide insert. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before seating a new insert.
