Seco 02815030 Turning Insert TGK1500 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02815030 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for precision metal cutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the TGK1500 manufacturer grade, this insert features a dog bone shape with an LCMF insert style and a maximum cutting width of 0.315 inches, a cutting height of 0.216 inches, and a corner radius of 0.157 inches. The MP chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip flow during turning passes. Weighing 0.04 pounds, it is a compact, single-use cutting tool intended for tool-and-die, production machining, and precision turning applications. Installation and replacement are performed by qualified machinists and CNC operators.

This insert is suited for multi-directional turning applications where consistent edge geometry and carbide hardness are required. The primary and secondary workpiece material code designation of K indicates suitability for cast iron, hardened materials, and non-metallic workpieces. It fits into compatible LCMF-style toolholders and is commonly used in high-volume production environments as well as job shop turning operations requiring repeatable surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

Compatibility

Designed for use in LCMF-style toolholders accepting size code 3008M0 inserts. Manufacturers catalog number LCMF3008M0-0800-MP may be used to verify toolholder compatibility. No additional model-specific compatibility data was provided.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped before any tooling change. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert clamp hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the insert. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for wear or debris before installation to ensure secure seating and accurate cutting geometry.
