Seco 02960060 Turning Insert CNMG432-FF2 TP1501 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02960060 is a CNMG432-FF2 series indexable turning insert manufactured from solid carbide and finished with a CVD-applied Duratomic multilayer coating (TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr). It carries manufacturer grade TP1501, a designation optimized for steel machining (ISO P10/P20) with secondary capability in cast iron and hard materials. The insert features an 80-degree diamond shape, a 0.5 inch inscribed circle, and a 1/32 inch (0.0315 inch) corner radius. The FF2 chip breaker geometry and honed cutting edge make it suited for finishing and light roughing passes in CNC turning, boring, and facing operations.

This insert fits CNMG-style toolholders and is intended for use in CNC lathes and turning centers handling steel workpieces in production environments. Typical applications include external turning, internal boring, and facing. The neutral hand orientation allows use in both right- and left-hand setups depending on the toolholder configuration. With four usable cutting edges per insert, it provides good cost-per-edge value in high-volume turning operations where consistent surface finish on steel and cast iron is required.

Key Features

• CVD Duratomic multilayer coating (TiCN, Al2O3, Cr) for wear and heat resistance on steel
• FF2 chip breaker geometry with honed cutting edge for finishing and light roughing
• Four cutting edges per insert (multi-tipped) for extended tool life per insert
• Compatible with clamp, pin, and lever-lock holding methods
• Negative rake, 0-degree relief angle (clearance code N, tolerance code M)
• Suitable for turning, boring, and facing in a single insert style

Compatibility

Designed for CNMG-style toolholders that accept a 1/2 inch inscribed circle, 3/16 inch thick diamond-80 insert with a 0.2028 inch hole diameter, using clamp, pin, or lever-lock insert retention. Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code CNMG120408-FF2. Industry standard number CNMG432-FF2.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket locating surfaces before applying the clamping mechanism, and verify clamp torque per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the pocket for chips or debris that could cause the insert to rock and lead to premature edge failure.
