Carrying the manufacturer grade TGH1050 with a PVD-applied TiAlSiN coating, this double-ended insert delivers a 0.50 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 2.60 mm. The positive rake geometry at 6 degrees and FG chip breaker promote clean chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces. It is suited for machinists and tooling specialists working across a broad range of workpiece materials, including hardened steels, cast irons, non-ferrous alloys, and superalloys as indicated by the universal H, K, O, and S material codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert fits within SECO Series X4 grooving tooling systems and is intended for use in production turning environments where tight groove tolerances and consistent surface finish are required. The right-hand cutting orientation and ISO-standard sizing make it compatible with X4-series toolholders in typical CNC lathe setups. It is well suited for component shops, aerospace subcontractors, and general machining facilities running medium to high production volumes where insert longevity and chip control are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate with PVD TiAlSiN coating for wear resistance across universal workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.50 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut range of 2.00 to 3.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-ended design extends usable tool life per insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle of 6 degrees reduces cutting forces and heat generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFG chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation in grooving applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorner radius of 0.05 mm for precise groove geometry and minimal burring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with SECO Series X4 grooving toolholders accepting X4GKR-style inserts with insert size code 2503005.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing the insert. Use the appropriate SECO torx or clamping key to secure the insert to the specified clamp torque listed in the toolholder documentation — do not overtighten by hand estimate. Inspect the insert seat and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating to ensure proper contact and runout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: X4GKR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: X4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: TGH1050\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlSiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.50 mm (0.0200 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.60 mm (0.1020 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.00 to 3.00 mm (0.1000 to 0.1500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20.40 mm (0.8030 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25.44 mm (1.0010 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 mm (0.0031 inches maximum, 0.0008 inches minimum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.00 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: FG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Universal (H, K, O, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2503005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.35 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 02968211\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560164622642,"sku":"02968211","price":209.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0436ef83e00da7a2e20a3143c6099731.jpg?v=1786447962","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02968211-grooving-insert-tgh1050-solid-carbide-0-50mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
