Seco 02956310 Turning Insert CCMT32.52W-MF2 TP2501 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02956310 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CCMT-MF2 series, designed for precision metal cutting in CNC and manual turning applications. It carries the industry standard designation CCMT32.52W-MF2 and is manufactured to the TP2501 grade using a CVD-applied Duratomic coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr layers. The insert features an 80-degree diamond shape, a neutral hand orientation, a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. With a chamfered and honed cutting edge and the MF2 chip breaker geometry, it delivers controlled chip formation during light-to-medium cuts. This insert is typically installed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians.

This insert is suited for boring, facing, and turning operations on steel as the primary workpiece material, with secondary application to stainless steel and cast iron. The MF2 chip breaker geometry is optimized for positive rake cutting, making it well matched to finishing and semi-finishing passes where chip control and surface finish are priorities. It conforms to both ANSI and ISO standards, with the corresponding ISO designation CCMT09T308W-MF2, allowing straightforward cross-referencing in international tooling systems. Material grade ratings of P10, P20, P30, and P35 indicate broad suitability across a range of steel workpieces.

Key Features

• CVD Duratomic coating — TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr layers — for extended wear resistance on steel and cast iron
• MF2 chip breaker geometry with chamfered and honed cutting edge for positive rake, controlled chip formation
• 80-degree diamond insert shape with 7-degree relief angle for rigid, low-vibration cutting
• Two cutting edges per insert; screw-held mounting for repeatable indexing
• Wiper edge geometry for improved surface finish at standard feed rates
• Multi-use application: boring, facing, and turning from a single insert style

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for toolholders accepting CCMT 32.52 style inserts with a 0.177-inch (4.50 mm) screw hole diameter; verify toolholder clamping style and seat geometry before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC tooling technicians during scheduled insert indexing or replacement. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before removing or seating the insert. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and tighten the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque using the appropriate Torx or hex key. Inspect the insert seat and shim for debris or damage before each index to maintain cutting accuracy.
