Seco 74016162 Milling Insert SPMX0602AP-75 T25M Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 74016162 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying manufacturer part number SPMX0602AP-75 in grade T25M with a CVD-applied TiCN coating. It follows the SPMX-06 series profile: square shape, neutral hand, neutral rake, 90-degree included angle, and a T-Land cutting edge style. The insert measures 0.25 inches in both length and width, with a thickness of 0.094 inches and a 0.25-inch inscribed circle diameter. Four cutting edges are available per insert, making efficient use of each carbide body before replacement. This is a single-sided insert held by screw in compatible milling cutter bodies.

This insert is designed for milling operations in steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, corresponding to ISO material groups P, M, and S. It is suited for medium-grain carbide applications where CVD TiCN coating provides wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting zone. Typical install scenarios include face milling, shoulder milling, and general-purpose milling on CNC machining centers in production shop or job shop environments. The chip breaker designation is 75. Compatible cutter series include R215.49-3 and R335.16-3 as specified by the manufacturer. Maximum depth of cut is 0.25 inches.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in medium grain with CVD TiCN coating for wear resistance
• Square insert shape with 90-degree included angle and T-Land cutting edge style
• Four usable cutting edges per insert, neutral hand and neutral rake
• 11-degree relief angle optimized for chip clearance in multi-material applications
• Chip breaker 75 geometry suited for steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• Screw-held insert mounting for secure clamping in compatible milling bodies

Compatibility

Designed for use with SECO cutter series R215.49-3 and R335.16-3 as stated by the manufacturer. ANSI and ISO code for this insert is SPMX0602AP-75. Verify cutter body pocket specifications before installation to confirm proper seating and clamping.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine spindle fully stopped and locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to the cutter body manufacturer's specified torque for screw-held inserts. Inspect the pocket seat for chips or debris before seating a new insert, as contamination will affect runout and surface finish. Do not force the insert into the pocket; correct seating should require only light hand pressure before fastening.
