Seco 02956329 Turning Insert CCMT32.52-M5 TP2501 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02956329 is a CCMT-style indexable turning insert designed for precision metal removal in general turning, facing, and boring operations. It carries the industry standard designation CCMT32.52-M5 and ISO code CCMT09T308-M5. The insert is manufactured from solid carbide and features a CVD-applied Duratomic multilayer coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr, placing it in the TP2501 manufacturer grade. The 80-degree diamond shape with a 7-degree relief angle and M5 chip breaker geometry suits medium-depth roughing through semi-finishing passes. Two cutting edges are available per insert, and the cutting edge is chamfered and honed for edge stability. The neutral hand orientation accommodates standard right-hand toolholders. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments are the primary installers of this insert.

This insert is rated for primary use on steel workpiece materials (ISO P code, material grades P10, P20, P30, and P35) and secondarily suitable for stainless steel and cast iron (ISO M and K codes). Typical applications include OD turning, face turning, and boring on CNC lathes and turning centers where a screw-held CCMT insert pocket is specified. The M5 chip breaker is designed to promote chip control across a range of feed rates, making this insert practical for both continuous and interrupted medium cuts. Maximum depth of cut reaches 0.3504 inches. Applications are sold in minimum order quantities of 10 units, packaged individually.

Key Features

• Duratomic CVD multilayer coating (TiCN / Al2O3 / Cr) for extended tool life on steel and stainless
• 80-degree diamond insert shape with 7-degree relief angle for positive-rake cutting geometry
• M5 chip breaker supports chip control across turning, facing, and boring applications
• Two cutting edges per insert; chamfered and honed edge prep for edge stability
• Neutral hand insert fits standard screw-clamp CCMT toolholders
• Meets ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code CCMT09T308-M5 for cross-referencing

Compatibility

Designed for use in screw-clamp toolholders accepting CCMT-style inserts with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle. Compatible toolholders must accept the CCMT insert shape code C, tolerance code M, and clearance code C. Verify holder pocket geometry against the CCMT32.52 industry standard number before installation. Multi-use application includes boring, facing, and turning operations.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the pocket and tighten the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or damage before seating a new insert, as debris under the seat affects runout and edge life.
