Seco 02968207 Grooving Insert X4GKR2503015 TGH1050 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02968207 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the X4 series standard, this right-hand insert features a 2.5 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 6.5 mm, making it well suited for moderate-depth grooving work in a range of metalworking applications. The manufacturer grade TGH1050 carbide substrate delivers the wear resistance and toughness required for consistent performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and toolroom professionals are the primary installers of this insert type.

This insert is used in industrial machining environments where tight groove tolerances and repeatable tool life are required. It fits X4-series grooving toolholders and blade systems configured for right-hand cutting. The 20.40 mm cutting height and 0.15 mm corner radius make it appropriate for applications requiring a near-sharp corner profile without a full radius. Typical use cases include OD grooving, face grooving, and light parting on CNC turning equipment in production and job-shop settings.

• Right-hand insert orientation for standard OD grooving setups
• X4GKR insert style with 0.15 mm corner radius for near-sharp profile work
• 20.40 mm cutting height supports stable engagement at operating depths
• Multi-use tool designation allows use across varied grooving applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with X4-series grooving toolholders and blade systems that accept the X4GKR insert style with insert size designation 2503015 in right-hand configuration.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's torque and clamping procedures. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping mechanism for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Do not exceed the recommended maximum depth of cut range of 5.00 mm to 10.00 mm for this insert size.
