Seco 02960587 WNMG432W-MF5 Turning Insert TP2501 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02960587 is a WNMG432W-MF5 series indexable turning insert designed for steel, stainless steel, and cast iron machining applications. Manufactured from solid carbide with a CVD-applied Duratomic multilayer coating (TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr), it carries a TP2501 manufacturer grade rated for P10 through P35 material grades. The insert features an 80-degree trigon (W) shape with a neutral hand orientation, a 0.5000-inch inscribed circle, and a 1/32-inch (0.0315-inch) corner radius. With 6 cutting edges and a chamfered-and-honed cutting edge style paired with the MF5 chip breaker geometry, this insert is suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes where chip control and edge stability matter.

This insert is intended for use in CNC turning centers, boring bars, and facing operations in production and job-shop environments. It is primarily applied to steel workpieces but also handles stainless steel and cast iron. The WNMG series is a common indexable format used across a wide range of qualified toolholders in both ISO and ANSI standard systems. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in precision turning applications will find the MF5 chip breaker geometry well suited to light-to-medium depth-of-cut finishing work. Maximum depth of cut is 0.1063 inches. Insert holding methods include clamp, pin, and lever lock configurations.

Key Features

• Duratomic CVD multilayer coating (TiCN, Al2O3, Cr) for extended tool life on steel and stainless
• MF5 chip breaker geometry optimized for finishing and semi-finishing passes
• 6 cutting edges per insert for maximum index value
• Chamfered and honed cutting edge style for improved edge stability
• Compatible with clamp, pin, and lever lock toolholder styles
• Meets ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code WNMG080408W-MF5

Compatibility

Designed for use in WNMG-style qualified toolholders that accept an 80-degree trigon insert with a 0.2028-inch hole diameter and 0.5000-inch inscribed circle. Compatible holding methods include clamp, pin, and lever lock. Suitable for boring, facing, and turning operations on steel (P10-P35), stainless steel (M), and cast iron (K) workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is properly secured before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and manufacturer-specified fastener for the clamp or lever lock system to avoid insert rocking or premature edge failure. Dispose of worn inserts according to applicable facility and local regulations for carbide tooling.
