Seco 03280812 Turning Insert CCGT32.50.5-F1 TS2050 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 03280812 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CCGT series, designed for precision material removal in demanding machining applications. Grade TS2050 with a multilayer TiAlSiN PVD coating gives this insert the heat and wear resistance needed when cutting superalloys, titanium, and stainless steel. The 80-degree diamond shape (insert shape code C) provides a strong cutting geometry, and the F1 chip breaker promotes positive rake cutting action with a sharp edge. With a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 0.0079-inch corner radius, this insert suits finish to semi-finish turning passes where tight tolerances and surface quality matter.

This insert is intended for use in CNC turning centers and manual lathes running operations that include boring, facing, and turning. Its primary workpiece material designation is superalloys and titanium (ISO code S), with secondary suitability for stainless steel and hard materials (ISO codes M and H). The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with neutral-handed toolholders. Installation requires a screw-type insert clamping system. Machinists and toolroom technicians working in aerospace, medical, and high-precision manufacturing sectors are the typical end users of this insert.

Key Features

• Grade TS2050 multilayer TiAlSiN PVD coating for extended tool life in high-temperature cuts
• 80-degree diamond insert shape with sharp F1 chip breaker for positive rake geometry
• Optimized for superalloys and titanium; secondary rating for stainless steel and hard materials
• 2 cutting edges per insert; screw-mount retention for rigid, repeatable clamping
• Neutral hand — compatible with neutral-handed CCGT-style toolholders
• Meets ANSI and ISO dimensional standards; ISO code CCGT09T302-F1

Compatibility

Designed for use in screw-type CCGT-style toolholders that accept a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, 80-degree diamond insert per ANSI and ISO standards. Industry standard number CCGT32.50.5-F1 and ISO code CCGT09T302-F1 govern toolholder fit. Verify holder pocket dimensions and insert size code 32.50.5 before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians following machine-specific lockout and de-energization procedures before any insert change. Use the appropriate torx or hex key for the screw-clamp system specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten, as carbide inserts are brittle and can crack under excess clamping force. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating the insert. Confirm correct insert orientation and neutral hand alignment before resuming cutting operations.
