Seco 02960035 WNMG332-FF2 Carbide Turning Insert 3/8 in Ic

Product Description

The SECO 02960035 is a solid carbide turning insert in the WNMG-FF2 series, designed for precision metal cutting in CNC and manual lathe operations. Carrying ISO designation WNMG060408-FF2 and industry standard number WNMG332-FF2, this insert features a trigon (80-degree included angle) shape with a neutral hand orientation and a negative rake geometry. It is coated via CVD with a Duratomic multilayer system consisting of TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr layers for extended tool life and heat resistance. With 6 cutting edges per insert and a manufacturer grade of TP1501, it is suited for high-productivity steel and cast iron turning applications installed by machining professionals.

This insert is intended for use in boring, facing, and turning operations on steel (material code P, grades P10 and P20), cast iron (code K), and hard materials (code H) in both production and job-shop environments. The FF2 chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation at moderate to high feed rates. Insert holding is compatible with clamp, pin, and lever-lock toolholders accepting the WNMG insert form factor. The honed cutting edge style provides a stable entry for interrupted and continuous cuts on ferrous workpiece materials.

Key Features

• CVD Duratomic multilayer coating: TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr for thermal and wear resistance
• 6 cutting edges per insert for maximum value per unit
• FF2 chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation on steel and cast iron
• Honed cutting edge style for stable, consistent engagement
• Clamp, pin, and lever-lock holding method compatibility
• Multi-use application: boring, facing, and turning from a single insert style

Compatibility

Designed for use in WNMG-style insert toolholders accepting a 3/8-inch inscribed circle with clamp, pin, or lever-lock holding methods. Compatible with toolholders conforming to ANSI and ISO WNMG insert standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is stopped and all axis motion is locked before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and torque the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify insert seating and runout before returning the machine to service.
