The insert features a PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN dual coating for extended tool life in demanding milling applications. It is a single-sided, right-hand parallelogram insert (APKX style) with a positive rake angle of 24 degrees, a relief angle of 11 degrees, and two cutting edges per insert. The ME12 chip breaker geometry supports efficient chip evacuation across a range of depths of cut up to 0.6220 inches. Cutting edge style is honed for a controlled, consistent edge. This insert is held in the toolholder via screw clamping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is designed for milling operations on stainless steel and steel as primary workpiece materials, with secondary suitability for cast iron and hard materials. The positive rake geometry and PVD coating make it well-suited for finishing and semi-finishing cuts where surface integrity and edge stability matter. It is sized for size-16 insert pockets and is compatible with Seco cutter series R217.69-16 and R220.69-16. Typical users include machining professionals and CNC operators in job shop and production environments working with ferrous and difficult-to-machine alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide micrograin substrate, grade F30M, for high wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePVD TiAlN and TiN dual coating for thermal resistance and extended cutting life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive 24-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces on stainless steel and steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eME12 chip breaker geometry supports efficient chip control across varied depths of cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo cutting edges per insert maximize value per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHoned cutting edge style provides consistent, repeatable edge performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand orientation with screw-lock holding for secure pocket seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with Seco cutter series R217.69-16 and R220.69-16.
