Product Description
The SECO 02440672 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CPMT32.52-F1 configuration, grade CP500, designed for precision metal cutting in CNC and manual turning operations. It features an 80-degree diamond insert shape with a positive rake angle and a sharp cutting edge style, making it well suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes. The insert carries a multilayer PVD TiAlN and TiN coating that extends tool life in demanding cutting environments. With a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1/32-inch corner radius, it delivers controlled chip formation through the F1 chip breaker geometry. Screw-style holding secures the insert in the toolholder during operation. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert in production turning cells.
This insert is engineered primarily for stainless steel workpieces, classified under material code M, with secondary capability on steel, cast iron, super-alloys, and titanium. It is rated for material grades M10, M20, and M30. Applicable operations include boring, facing, and turning. The neutral hand orientation allows use in a range of toolholder setups. The F1 chip breaker geometry supports chip control at moderate to aggressive feed rates across these material categories. ISO code CPMT09T308-F1 and industry standard number CPMT32.52-F1 apply. Standards compliance covers both ANSI and ISO classifications.
Key Features
- Solid carbide substrate with multilayer PVD TiAlN and TiN coating for extended wear resistance
- 80-degree diamond insert shape with sharp cutting edge for clean, precise cuts
- F1 chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation on stainless steel and steel
- Positive rake angle reduces cutting forces during finishing and semi-finishing operations
- Screw-style insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in toolholders
- Multi-use capability across boring, facing, and turning applications
Compatibility
Designed for use in CPMT-style screw-on toolholders conforming to ANSI and ISO standards. Compatible with workpiece materials including stainless steel (primary), steel, cast iron, super-alloys, and titanium. ISO code CPMT09T308-F1 identifies the insert for toolholder cross-reference. Multi-use rated for boring, facing, and turning operations.
Installation Notes
Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Shut down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the insert screw to the toolholder manufacturer’s specified torque. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before installing a new insert to ensure proper seating and runout.
