Seco 03272884 Milling Insert LOEX080404TR-M08 MP2501

Product Description

The SECO 03272884 is a solid carbide coated milling insert in the LOEX-08 series, designed for indexable milling operations on a range of workpiece materials. It carries the ANSI and ISO designation LOEX080404TR-M08 with manufacturer grade MP2501. The insert features a rectangular shape with a 90-degree included angle, a negative rake geometry, and a T-Land cutting edge style. CVD-applied Duratomic coating — a TiCN plus Al2O3 multilayer system — provides thermal resistance and wear life suited to demanding milling applications. Four usable cutting edges and a double-sided configuration reduce tooling cost per edge in production environments.

This insert is suited for milling steel as the primary workpiece material, with secondary application in stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. The M08 chip breaker geometry is designed for medium cutting conditions. Typical installation environments include CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where LOEX-08 series cutter bodies are in use. The right-hand insert hand designation applies to standard right-hand cutter configurations. This insert is used by machinists and tooling technicians in job shop, aerospace, and general manufacturing settings.

Compatibility

Designed for use with SECO cutter series R217.94-08 and R220.94-08. Insert conforms to ANSI and ISO code LOEX080404TR-M08 and fits LOEX-08 series cutter bodies using screw-type insert holding.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machining technicians using the appropriate Torx or hex key for the cutter body screw seat. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Seat the insert fully into the pocket and confirm the screw is snug before resuming cutting operations. Inspect the insert pocket for wear or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper clamping and runout.
