Seco 03290934 Milling Insert MP1501 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 03290934 is a solid carbide milling insert in the ZOMX-16 series, grade MP1501, designed for high-productivity face and shoulder milling operations. The insert carries a CVD-applied Duratomic coating of TiCN and Al2O3, which extends cutting-edge life when working steel and cast iron. It measures 7.38 mm thick and 10.76 mm wide, features a rectangular shape with a 0.80 mm corner radius, and delivers a maximum depth of cut of 15.50 mm. With four usable cutting edges and a double-sided configuration, the insert offers significant cost-per-edge value for shops running high-volume metal removal programs.

This insert is suited for milling steel, cast iron, and hard materials in both roughing and semi-finishing passes. The negative rake geometry combined with a T-Land cutting edge style provides the edge strength needed for interrupted cuts and abrasive workpiece materials. Right-hand orientation makes it compatible with standard right-hand milling cutter bodies. The M12 chip breaker is optimized for stable chip formation across a range of feed rates. Typical users include CNC machinists, tool-and-die shops, and production machining operations running medium-to-large diameter face mills or shoulder mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before seating or replacing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key to torque the clamping screw to the cutter body manufacturer specification — do not over-tighten, as this can fracture the carbide. Inspect the pocket seat for chips or debris before installing a fresh insert to ensure proper seating and runout.
