Seco 02743818 Milling Insert XOMX060208R-M05 MM4500

Product Description

The SECO 02743818 is a solid carbide milling insert with ANSI and ISO designation XOMX060208R-M05, manufactured in the MM4500 grade with a CVD-applied TiCN and Al2O3 coating. This parallelogram-style, single-sided insert carries a positive rake angle of 20.2 degrees and features a honed cutting edge with 2 cutting edges per insert. It is designed for use in high-productivity milling applications where wear resistance and thermal stability are critical, particularly when machining stainless steel, steel, superalloys, and titanium. The 15-degree relief angle and M05 chip breaker geometry support controlled chip evacuation in demanding cutting conditions.

This insert is intended for use in metalworking and machining operations performed by machinists and tooling specialists in job shops, production facilities, and aerospace or industrial manufacturing environments. It fits right-hand cutting configurations and is compatible with the R217.69-06 cutter series. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, and finish milling of stainless steel and superalloy components where consistent tool life and surface finish are required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with CVD-applied TiCN and Al2O3 multilayer coating for elevated wear and heat resistance
• MM4500 grade with coarse grain material grade suited for stainless steel, steel, superalloys, and titanium
• Positive rake angle of 20.2 degrees with honed cutting edge style for reduced cutting forces
• M05 chip breaker geometry for effective chip control in medium-duty milling passes
• 1/32 inch corner radius provides edge strength while maintaining surface finish quality
• Right-hand insert hand with screw-type insert holding method for secure seating in the cutter body

Compatibility

Compatible with the R217.69-06 cutter series. Designed for right-hand milling cutter bodies accepting XOMX-06 series inserts per ISO and ANSI code XOMX060208R-M05. Suitable for primary workpiece material code M (stainless steel) and secondary material codes P (steel), M (stainless steel), and S (superalloys and titanium).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the cutter body is fully removed from the spindle and the machine is locked out before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to secure the clamping screw to the cutter body seat without overtightening, which can crack carbide. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before installing a new insert.
