Seco 02825905 Turning Insert DCMT32.51-F1 TH1000 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02825905 is a solid carbide turning insert in the DCMT32.51-F1 series, designed for precision metal-cutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the TH1000 manufacturer grade with a multilayer PVD TiAlSiN coating, making it well-suited for machining superalloys, titanium, and hard materials where heat resistance and edge integrity are critical. The insert features a 55-degree diamond shape, a positive rake geometry, and the F1 chip breaker for sharp, controlled cuts. It provides two usable cutting edges and is held in place by a screw-clamp system. Machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments install this insert.

This insert is rated for primary workpiece materials classified as superalloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO material codes S and H, material grades S05 and H05). Its F1 chip breaker and sharp cutting-edge style suit applications including turning, facing, boring, and back turning. The positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces on difficult-to-machine alloys. The ISO designation is DCMT11T304-F1, and the ANSI/ISO industry standard number is DCMT32.51-F1. This is a single-insert package sold with a minimum order quantity of 10 inserts.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement turning insert for screw-clamp DCMT-style toolholders conforming to ANSI and ISO DCMT insert standards. Verify toolholder pocket geometry, insert size code 32.51, and clearance code C before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to the toolholder manufacturer's recommended seating procedure — do not overtighten the clamp screw. Inspect the pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert.
