Description

The SECO 02205058 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI/ISO designation XOEX120408FR-E06 and manufactured to grade H15. This single-sided, right-hand insert features a parallelogram shape with a 90-degree included angle and a positive rake geometry at 27.2 degrees, making it well-suited for high-shear cutting applications. The bright uncoated, micrograin carbide construction is optimized for non-ferrous metal cutting where coating buildup on the edge is undesirable. Two cutting edges are available per insert, and the sharp cutting edge style minimizes cutting forces during operation. The E06 chip breaker geometry and a 15-degree relief angle contribute to clean chip evacuation and controlled cutting action.

This insert is intended for milling operations on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper alloys, and similar materials. It is held in the cutter body by a screw-clamp method and is designed for use in compatible SECO cutter platforms. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, and pocket milling in production machining environments. Installation is performed by CNC machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with compatible toolholders.

Key Features

Solid micrograin carbide construction, bright uncoated finish for non-ferrous metal applications
Positive rake angle of 27.2 degrees reduces cutting forces and improves surface finish on soft materials
Sharp cutting edge style minimizes built-up edge when machining aluminum and copper alloys
E06 chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip flow and evacuation
Two usable cutting edges per insert for extended tool economy
Screw-clamp insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in the cutter body

Compatibility

Compatible with SECO cutter series R217.69-12 and R220.69-12 as specified by the manufacturer. This insert conforms to ANSI and ISO standards under designation XOEX120408FR-E06.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key to torque the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer’s specification do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide body. Inspect the insert pocket seat for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and runout.
