Seco 03272831 Milling Insert XOMX120408TR-M12 MP1501

Product Description

The SECO 03272831 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying ANSI and ISO designation XOMX120408TR-M12 in manufacturer grade MP1501. This single-sided, right-hand parallelogram insert features a CVD-applied Duratomic TiCN and Al2O3 coating designed to extend tool life in demanding cutting applications. It runs a positive rake angle of 10.4 degrees with a T-Land cutting edge style, delivering a maximum depth of cut of 5.80 mm (0.2285 inches). With 2 cutting edges and a 1/32-inch corner radius, the insert is held in place by a screw-type clamping method. It is installed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians on compatible milling cutter bodies.

This insert is intended for milling operations on steel as the primary workpiece material, with secondary suitability for cast iron and hard materials. The M12 chip breaker geometry supports general-purpose and finishing passes where controlled chip formation is critical. It is well-suited for both horizontal and vertical milling setups in production machining environments, including job shops and manufacturing facilities running high-volume steel and cast iron components. The insert is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 10 units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide fine-grain substrate with CVD Duratomic TiCN and Al2O3 coating for wear resistance on steel and cast iron
• Positive rake angle (10.4 degrees) with T-Land cutting edge style reduces cutting forces and improves edge stability
• Maximum depth of cut: 5.80 mm for productive material removal in milling applications
• 2 cutting edges per insert on a single-sided parallelogram body with 90-degree included angle
• M12 chip breaker geometry promotes consistent chip control across steel and cast iron workpieces
• Screw-mount insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in compatible cutter bodies

Compatibility

Compatible with cutter series R217.69-12 and R220.69-12 per manufacturer data. The ANSI and ISO code for this insert is XOMX120408TR-M12, insert size code 120408, series XOMX-12.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key as specified by the cutter body manufacturer to seat the screw clamp — do not overtighten by hand-feel alone; refer to the cutter body documentation for fastener torque guidance. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or damage before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and runout accuracy.
