Seco 02768525 Milling Insert XOMX10T304TR-ME07 F40M Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02768525 is a solid carbide milling insert with ISO designation XOMX10T304TR-ME07, manufactured in grade F40M with a fine grain carbide substrate. This parallelogram-style insert seats via screw-holding into compatible milling cutter bodies and delivers two right-hand cutting edges per insert. The PVD coating process produces a hard, wear-resistant surface layer suited for demanding milling operations. At 0.151 inches thick and 0.270 inches inscribed circle diameter, the insert is sized for the R217/220.69-10 cutter series. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and metalworking tradespeople will recognize the ME07 chip breaker geometry as a positive-rake, chamfered-and-honed edge configuration designed to manage chip flow across a wide range of workpiece materials.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material application, covering material codes M, N, P, and S — meaning it handles stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, carbon and alloy steels, and heat-resistant superalloys in a single grade. Typical use cases include face milling, shoulder milling, and light-to-medium roughing passes on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where the R217/220.69-10 cutter body is mounted. The right-hand cutting direction and positive rake geometry reduce cutting forces, which is beneficial when machining thin-walled or less-rigid workpieces. This insert is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• ISO grade F40M fine grain solid carbide substrate with PVD coating for wear resistance
• Positive rake angle with chamfered and honed cutting edge for reduced cutting forces
• ME07 chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation across universal work materials
• Two right-hand cutting edges per insert for extended tool life per unit
• 15-degree relief angle supports clean, low-friction cutting action
• Screw-held insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in the cutter body

Compatibility

Designed for use with the R217/220.69-10 cutter series per manufacturer specification. ISO code XOMX10T304TR-ME07 confirms fitment to compatible XOMX-style insert pockets accepting insert size code 10.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician using the appropriate Torx or hex key to seat the insert screw — always power down and lock out the spindle before changing inserts. Confirm the insert pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before seating to ensure full surface contact and accurate tool-length repeatability. Do not overtighten the clamping screw; follow the cutter body manufacturer's torque procedure for insert size 10 screw-held pockets. Inspect the cutting edge condition at each tool change interval rather than running to failure to avoid insert fracture and workpiece damage.
