Product Description

The SECO 02815035 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for precision grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Assigned manufacturer grade TGK1500 with a CVD coating, this insert is built for consistent performance in demanding material removal applications. It carries an LCMF insert style with a dog bone shape, a neutral hand orientation, and an MP chipbreaker geometry. The cutting width measures 0.157 inches, the cutting height 0.177 inches, and the corner radius 0.079 inches. Insert length is 0.679 inches. This is a single-piece package item with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

This insert is intended for use in the SECO MDT series multi-directional turning toolholding system. It is primarily engineered for machining cast iron workpieces, as indicated by the K-class workpiece material designation. Typical applications include external and internal grooving, profiling, and turning in production environments where cast iron components are processed. The neutral hand configuration allows use in a range of cutting directions, giving tooling setups added flexibility. Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians in shop environments.
