Manufactured in the X4 series with insert style X4GKL, this double-ended insert features a TiAlSiN coating applied via PVD process, delivering elevated heat resistance and extended edge life across a broad range of workpiece materials. The left-hand orientation, 0.5 mm cutting width, and maximum depth of cut of 2.6 mm suit tight-clearance grooving profiles where dimensional accuracy is critical. The TGH1050 grade and positive 6-degree rake angle help control chip formation and reduce cutting forces during interrupted or continuous groove passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for universal application across ferrous, non-ferrous, hardened, and superalloy workpiece materials, as indicated by workpiece material codes H, K, O, and S. It fits grooving toolholders compatible with the X4 insert system and is appropriate for production turning environments in both job-shop and high-volume manufacturing settings. The FG chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation in shallow-to-medium depth grooves. Machinists and CNC operators performing tight-tolerance grooving work will find the double-end configuration extends usable insert life per unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate with TiAlSiN PVD coating for heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand cutting orientation, 0.5 mm cutting width (0.0200 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum depth of cut 2.6 mm (0.1020 inch); depth-of-cut range 2.0 to 3.0 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-ended insert design extends usable service life per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle of 6 degrees with FG chip breaker geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorner radius 0.05 mm; compatible with universal workpiece materials per ISO standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with X4 series grooving toolholders and systems that accept X4GKL-style inserts with insert size code 25030050050, conforming to ISO standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. Confirm the toolholder pocket is clean and free of debris before seating the insert, and verify clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer's specifications. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before any insert change. Do not force the insert into the pocket or use the cutting edge as a prying surface, as solid carbide is brittle and susceptible to chipping under bending loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: X4GKL\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\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.50 mm (0.0200 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.60 mm (0.1020 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.00 to 3.00 mm (0.1000 to 0.1500 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20.40 mm (0.8030 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25.44 mm (1.0010 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 mm (0.0008 to 0.0031 inch range)\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\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: FG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double\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: 25030050050\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-use Tool\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 02968212\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51564140724530,"sku":"02968212","price":210.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0436ef83e00da7a2e20a3143c6099731_f057fe51-b02b-4161-bbdf-9b10b7faa092.jpg?v=1786512110","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02968212-grooving-insert-tgh1050-left-hand-0-5mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
