Seco 02787053 VNMG331-FF2 TP1030 Cermet Turning Insert

Product Description

The SECO 02787053 is a VNMG331-FF2 style turning insert in grade TP1030, manufactured from cermet substrate with a PVD-applied TiAlSiN multilayer coating. It features a 35-degree diamond insert shape (Shape Code V), a 3/8 inch inscribed circle, 3/16 inch thickness, and a 1/64 inch corner radius (0.0157 inches). The FF2 chip breaker geometry is designed for controlled chip formation during finishing and light-to-medium turning operations. With 4 cutting edges and a honed cutting edge style, this insert delivers consistent performance on steel and stainless steel workpieces. It is installed and used by machinists and CNC turning specialists in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for back turning, facing, profiling, and general turning operations, primarily on steel (ISO material code P) and stainless steel (ISO material code M), corresponding to material grades P10 and P15. The negative rake geometry and neutral hand orientation make it adaptable to a wide range of turning setups. It is appropriate for both light finishing passes and moderate material removal applications where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before indexing or replacing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the pocket locating surfaces before tightening the clamping mechanism to avoid insert rocking or premature edge failure. Follow toolholder manufacturer torque and clamping specifications when securing the insert.
