Seco 02960741 Turning Insert DNMG433-MF5 TP2501 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02960741 is a solid carbide turning insert in the DNMG-MF5 series, designated by industry standard code DNMG433-MF5 and ISO code DNMG150412-MF5. It features a 55-degree diamond (rhombic) shape with a neutral hand orientation and four usable cutting edges. The insert carries the TP2501 grade with a Duratomic CVD multilayer coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr, engineered for high wear-resistance across steel, stainless steel, and cast iron workpiece materials. The MF5 chip breaker geometry supports finishing and medium machining operations. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists install this insert on compatible toolholders in production and job-shop turning applications.

The SECO 02960741 is suited for back turning, boring, facing, and general turning operations on steel (P), stainless steel (M), and cast iron (K) workpieces. The TP2501 grade spans material grades P10 through P35, covering a range from high wear-resistance to high toughness depending on cutting conditions. Its chamfered and honed cutting edge style makes it a strong candidate for both finishing passes and moderate material-removal cuts where consistent surface quality and tool life are priorities in production environments.

Key Features

• 55-degree diamond insert shape (D) with negative rake and negative side clearance for secure clamping
• Duratomic CVD coating (TiCN, Al2O3, Cr) delivers wear-resistance across steel, stainless steel, and cast iron
• MF5 chip breaker geometry optimized for finishing and medium machining operations
• Four cutting edges per insert for extended tool economy in high-volume turning
• Compatible with clamp, pin, and lever-lock insert holding methods
• Chamfered and honed cutting edge style for edge stability and consistent surface finish

Compatibility

Designed for use in DNMG-style toolholders that accept a 55-degree diamond insert with a 0.5000-inch inscribed circle, negative rake, and negative side clearance. Compatible insert holding methods include clamp, pin, and lever lock. Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards for DNMG433 and DNMG150412 insert classifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machining professionals on CNC or manual lathes using the appropriate DNMG toolholder and torque wrench for the specified clamping method. Always index or replace the insert with the machine powered down and spindle locked. Inspect the seating pocket for chips or debris before seating a new cutting edge. Dispose of worn inserts according to shop carbide-recycling procedures.
