Seco 03063884 Turning Insert CCMT32.52-M3 TK1501 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 03063884 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CCMT-M3 series, designed for precision metal cutting in CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the industry standard designation CCMT32.52-M3 and features a multilayer CVD coating — TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr — under SECO's Duratomic coating classification. The insert has an 80-degree diamond shape with a neutral hand orientation, a 0.3819-inch insert length, a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. It is held in place by screw clamping and delivers two usable cutting edges per insert. The M3 chip breaker geometry and chamfered-and-honed cutting edge style make it suitable for medium cutting conditions.

This insert is primarily rated for cast iron (ISO material code K, grades K10 through K30) and is also applicable to steel and stainless steel (ISO codes P and M). It supports boring, facing, and turning operations. The 7-degree relief angle and positive rake geometry help reduce cutting forces on the workpiece. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops, production turning, and maintenance machining environments will find this insert a practical choice for multi-material work.

Key Features

• Multilayer CVD Duratomic coating: TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr for extended tool life on cast iron and steel
• 80-degree diamond insert shape with chamfered and honed cutting edge for consistent chip control
• M3 chip breaker geometry suited for medium-depth turning, facing, and boring
• Screw-held mounting with 0.1772-inch hole diameter for secure, repeatable positioning
• Two cutting edges per insert; neutral hand fits standard CCMT toolholders
• Compliant with both ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code CCMT09T308-M3

Compatibility

Designed for use in CCMT-style toolholders that accept a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, 80-degree diamond insert with screw clamping. Compatible with boring, facing, and turning applications on cast iron, steel, and stainless steel workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is stopped and the turret is indexed to a safe position before changing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper seating and edge engagement.
