Seco 02960569 Turning Insert SNMG643-M5 TP2501 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02960569 is a SNMG643-M5 series indexable turning insert designed for general-purpose metal cutting in production machining environments. It is manufactured from carbide substrate and coated with a TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr multilayer stack via CVD, under SECO's Duratomic coating classification. The insert features a 3/4 inch inscribed circle, a 3/64 inch (0.0472 inch) corner radius, and a square 90-degree geometry with a negative rake angle. The M5 chip breaker geometry and chamfered and honed cutting edge style are suited for stable, controlled chip formation across a range of cutting depths up to 0.7008 inch. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians are the typical end users.

This insert is rated for primary use on steel workpieces (ISO material code P, grades P10 through P35) and is also applicable to stainless steel (M) and cast iron (K) as secondary workpiece materials. Multi-use application coverage includes turning, facing, and boring operations. The insert is sized at 3/4 inch in length and width, with a thickness of 1/4 inch and a hole diameter of 0.3118 inch. It conforms to both ANSI and ISO standards, with the ISO designation SNMG190612-M5. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• CVD-applied Duratomic multilayer coating: TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr for extended tool life on steel
• 8 usable cutting edges per insert (multi-tipped, full indexable SNMG geometry)
• M5 chip breaker for versatile chip control across medium roughing to semi-finishing operations
• Chamfered and honed cutting edge style for edge strength and reduced built-up edge tendency
• Compatible with clamp, pin, and lever lock insert holding methods
• Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code SNMG190612-M5

Compatibility

Designed for use in toolholders accepting SNMG-style inserts with a 3/4 inch inscribed circle and 0.3118 inch hole diameter, using clamp, pin, or lever lock holding methods. Suitable for CNC lathes and boring operations processing steel, stainless steel, and cast iron workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque tool for the insert clamping screw as specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Inspect the insert seat and clamping mechanism for wear or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper edge positioning and secure hold.
