Seco 03290937 Milling Insert ZOMX160708TR-M12 MK2050

Product Description

The SECO 03290937 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying ANSI and ISO designation ZOMX160708TR-M12 in manufacturer grade MK2050. It belongs to the ZOMX-16 series and features a rectangular shape with a negative rake geometry and a T-Land cutting edge style. The insert measures 7.38 mm thick and 10.76 mm wide with a corner radius of 0.80 mm. A dual-layer TiSiN and TiAlN coating applied via PVD process delivers thermal resistance and edge hardness. Four cutting edges are available on this double-sided insert, making it a cost-effective option for production milling operations.

This insert is intended for milling applications involving cast iron as the primary workpiece material, with secondary suitability for steel and hard materials. It suits medium to heavy-duty face milling and shoulder milling work in manufacturing environments. The maximum depth of cut reaches 15.50 mm, and the right-hand cutting geometry suits standard spindle configurations. Licensed machinists and CNC machine operators running compatible SECO cutter bodies will find this insert appropriate for interrupted and continuous cuts in ferrous materials including hardened grades.

Key Features

• Screw-held insert mounting for secure, repeatable positioning in the cutter body

Compatibility

Compatible with SECO cutter series R217.64-Z016 and R220.64-Z016 as stated by the manufacturer. This insert carries ANSI and ISO code ZOMX160708TR-M12 and falls within the ZOMX-16 series platform.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked out before seating or removing any insert. Use the appropriate SECO torx or hex key to torque the clamping screw to the cutter body specification listed in the cutter body documentation — do not estimate torque by feel. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or burrs before seating a fresh insert to ensure full, flush contact.
