This parallelogram-style, right-hand insert features a PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN dual-layer coating over a fine-grain carbide substrate. It runs a positive rake angle of 24 degrees and a relief angle of 11 degrees, delivering clean shear action and reduced cutting forces. With two cutting edges and a honed edge style, it is engineered for productive material removal in face milling and shoulder milling operations. Licensed machinists and CNC mill operators install this insert as part of indexable tooling systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for both roughing and finishing passes across a broad range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. The ME12 chip breaker geometry manages chip flow effectively across these material groups, making it a versatile choice for job shops and production environments running mixed-material schedules. It is intended for use in right-hand cutter bodies at depths of cut up to 0.622 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF40M fine-grain solid carbide substrate with PVD TiAlN and TiN dual-layer coating for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eME12 chip breaker geometry optimized for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle (24 degrees) and honed cutting edge reduce cutting forces and edge microchipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo usable cutting edges per insert for lower per-edge tooling cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew-held, single-sided parallelogram design with 85-degree included angle for secure, repeatable seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand insert hand; maximum depth of cut 0.622 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with SECO cutter series R217.69-16 and R220.69-16 indexable milling bodies.

Ensure the cutter body is secured and the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before removing or seating inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key as specified by the cutter body manufacturer to achieve proper screw torque without stripping the insert pocket. Inspect the insert pocket seating surface for chips or debris before installing a fresh edge to ensure accurate positioning and prevent premature insert failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: APKX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: APKX1604PDR-ME12.034\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: APKX1604PDR-ME12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallelogram\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: F40M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide, Fine Grain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN and TiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1604\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: APKX-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: ME12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Honed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 85 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2232 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength (Cutting Edge Effective)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6598 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0315 inches (1\/32 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1772 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.622 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double Sided\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Cast Iron, Superalloys and Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 74069376\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559025377586,"sku":"74069376","price":418.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/560b4a7cb3c108be4ea2a08b1b4b22d5.jpg?v=1786426062","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-74069376-apkx1604pdr-me12-f40m-carbide-milling-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
