Seco 03272927 Milling Insert SNMX1407ANTR-M16 MP1501

Product Description

The SECO 03272927 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the manufacturer designation SNMX1407ANTR-M16 in the MP1501 grade. This double-sided, square-shaped insert features 8 cutting edges and a negative rake geometry with a T-Land cutting edge style, making it well suited for high-productivity face and shoulder milling operations. The CVD-applied Duratomic coating — TiCN over Al2O3 — delivers thermal resistance and wear life across demanding cutting conditions. With an inscribed circle of 14.00 mm and a thickness of 6.59 mm, it fits the SNMX-14 series tooling platform. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians specify this insert for production environments where edge economy and material versatility are priorities.

This insert is designed for milling steel as its primary workpiece material, with cast iron and hard materials as secondary applications. The M16 chip breaker geometry manages chip flow effectively in medium to finishing cut ranges, with a maximum depth of cut of 6.00 mm. It is a right-hand insert held in place by screw-clamping. Compatible cutter series include R217.54-14, R217.56-14, R220.54-14, and R220.56-14. Typical use cases include face milling, shoulder milling, and copy milling on steel and cast iron components in job shop and production machining environments.

Key Features

• Double-sided square insert with 8 cutting edges for extended tool life per insert
• CVD Duratomic coating (TiCN and Al2O3) for thermal stability and wear resistance
• Negative rake, T-Land cutting edge style reduces edge chipping on interrupted cuts
• M16 chip breaker geometry optimized for steel and cast iron applications
• Screw-clamping insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in the pocket
• Conforms to ISO and ANSI standards; ISO code SNMX1407ANTR-M16

Compatibility

Compatible with SECO cutter series R217.54-14, R217.56-14, R220.54-14, and R220.56-14. Verify pocket geometry, seat angle, and screw specification against the cutter body documentation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machining technicians or toolroom personnel. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a locked-out, energy-isolated state before changing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key specified by the cutter body manufacturer when torquing the clamping screw — do not substitute tools or over-tighten, as this can fracture the carbide insert. Inspect the pocket seat and shim for wear or debris before seating a new insert.
