Seco 03272862 Milling Insert XOMX180608TR-ME13 MP2501

Product Description

The SECO 03272862 is a solid carbide indexable milling insert identified by ANSI and ISO code XOMX180608TR-ME13, manufactured in grade MP2501. It is a single-sided, right-hand parallelogram-shaped insert with a positive rake angle of 25.3 degrees and a T-Land cutting edge style. The insert features a CVD-applied Duratomic TiCN and Al2O3 coating for wear resistance and thermal stability. With two cutting edges, a maximum depth of cut of 8.25 mm, and a corner radius of 1/32 inch, this insert is designed for productive face and shoulder milling operations. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling professionals install this insert in compatible SECO cutter bodies.

This insert is suited for milling steel as its primary workpiece material, with secondary application capability in stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. It carries ISO material grade codes P, M, K, and S, making it a versatile choice across a range of ferrous and difficult-to-machine materials. Typical install scenarios include production milling on CNC machining centers in both industrial and job shop environments. The ME13 chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation across varying feed and depth conditions.

Key Features

• Solid carbide fine grain substrate with CVD Duratomic TiCN and Al2O3 coating for extended tool life
• Positive rake angle (25.3 degrees) with T-Land edge prep reduces cutting forces
• Maximum depth of cut of 8.25 mm (0.6693 inches) per pass
• Two cutting edges per insert for cost-effective indexing
• ME13 chip breaker geometry optimized for steel and multi-material milling
• Screw-held mounting with right-hand orientation for secure, repeatable seating

Compatibility

Compatible with SECO cutter series R217.69-18 and R220.69-18 as stated by the manufacturer. This insert uses the XOMX-18 series seat geometry and is held by screw clamp in the corresponding cutter bodies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the cutter body secured before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key specified for the cutter body screw to seat the insert firmly without over-torquing the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or damage before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and runout.
