Seco 02960483 Turning Insert CNMG432-M5 TP0501 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02960483 is a CNMG432-M5 indexable turning insert designed for steel and cast iron machining applications. It features a solid carbide substrate with a CVD-applied Duratomic multilayer coating — TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr — engineered to deliver thermal resistance and wear performance in continuous and interrupted cuts. The insert has a negative rake geometry, an 80-degree diamond shape, a 0.5079-inch insert length, and a 0.0315-inch corner radius. With four cutting edges and a chamfered and honed edge prep, this insert is suited for production environments where consistent tool life is critical. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10.

This insert targets general-purpose turning, facing, and boring operations on steel (ISO material code P) and cast iron (ISO material code K), aligning with P01 and P10 material grades. The M5 chip breaker geometry handles medium-depth cuts up to 0.4764 inches, making it appropriate for both roughing passes and finishing work on CNC lathes and turning centers in job shop and production environments. Licensed machinists and CNC operators typically install this insert on CNMG-compatible toolholders using clamp, pin, or lever-lock holding methods.

Key Features

• Duratomic CVD coating — TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr layers for extended wear life on steel and cast iron
• 80-degree diamond insert shape with negative rake and N clearance for stable, rigid cutting
• M5 chip breaker geometry supports turning, facing, and boring in medium-cut applications
• Four indexable cutting edges maximize insert utilization per piece
• Chamfered and honed cutting edge prep reduces chipping at entry and exit
• Compatible with clamp, pin, and lever-lock toolholder systems
• Meets ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code CNMG120408-M5

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNMG-style toolholders that accept a 432 insert size with clamp, pin, or lever-lock holding. Suitable for CNC lathes and turning centers running steel and cast iron workpieces at P01 and P10 material grades.

Installation Notes

Insert indexing and replacement should be performed with the machine fully stopped and the toolholder secured. Use the appropriate torque driver for the clamping screw per the toolholder manufacturer specification — do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or wear before seating a new edge. Machinists should verify the chip breaker orientation and edge condition before resuming cuts.
