Seco 02823039 Grooving Insert CP500 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02823039 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the X4 series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC turning centers and lathes. The insert carries a CP500 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN dual coating, delivering wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials. Cutting width is 0.047 inches, with a maximum depth of cut of 0.169 inches. The micrograin carbide substrate supports consistent edge integrity at elevated cutting speeds. Tooling technicians and CNC machinists install this insert using a clamp-style holding method on compatible X4-series toolholders.

This insert is suited for universal application across material groups including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys, and hardened materials, corresponding to ISO material codes H, K, M, N, O, P, and S. The positive rake geometry and MC chip breaker promote chip control in both light and moderate grooving passes. The double-end configuration allows two usable cutting edges per insert, extending service life. Typical use cases include groove forming and parting on medium-production turning operations in job shop and manufacturing environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench for the clamp screw to avoid cracking the carbide insert — follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specification. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating to ensure proper insert contact and runout accuracy.
