Seco 03272864 Milling Insert XOMX180608R-M10 MP2501

Product Description

The SECO 03272864, manufactured to the ANSI and ISO code XOMX180608R-M10, is a solid carbide milling insert designed for use in indexable face and shoulder milling operations. It features a parallelogram shape with a positive rake geometry at 22.4 degrees and a 15-degree relief angle, enabling free-cutting action and reduced spindle load. The insert is coated with a CVD-applied TiCN and Al2O3 Duratomic coating in the MP2501 grade, which provides thermal resistance and wear life suited to continuous and interrupted cuts. Two cutting edges are available per insert, and the right-hand cutting direction is standard for this style. It is installed by screw-clamp holding in compatible SECO cutter bodies.

This insert is intended for milling steel as its primary workpiece material, with secondary suitability for stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. The M10 chip breaker geometry handles a broad range of cut depths up to 8.25 mm. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, and general contouring in production and job-shop environments on CNC machining centers. The insert is compatible with SECO cutter series R217.69-18 and R220.69-18. It is suited for machinists and tooling specialists working in aerospace, automotive, and general metalworking.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is secured in a vise or tool holder before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and screw specified by the cutter body manufacturer when fastening the clamp screw to avoid insert cracking or improper seating. Inspect the cutter body pocket for wear or debris before installing a new insert.
