Seco Turning Insert VBMT 5, VBMT160408-F2,TP40

The Seco Turning Insert VBMT Insert Style is part of the Seco range. Seco indexable turning inserts, in a wide range of ISO insert shapes, grades, chipbreakers, and tolerance classes, provide the cutting interface for CNC and manual lathes in external turning, internal turning, facing, parting, threading, and profiling operations across a broad range of workpiece materials and cutting conditions.

Where this product is used

• External and internal turning inserts covering roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing operations across ISO material groups P (steel), M (stainless), K (cast iron), N (aluminium), S (superalloys), and H (hardened)
• Inserts in multiple tolerance classes (M, G, C, H) and chipbreaker geometries selected by machining operation, depth of cut, feed rate, and workpiece material to optimise tool life and surface finish
• CVD and PVD-coated carbide grades providing wear resistance, crater resistance, and thermal stability matched to the specific cutting conditions and workpiece material being machined

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Select Seco turning inserts by ISO designation: insert shape (C, D, R, S, T, V, W), clearance angle, tolerance class, chipbreaker style, cutting edge length, thickness, and nose radius must all match the toolholder specification. Select the grade by workpiece material and cutting conditions, Seco grade codes (TP, CP, TH, and others) are not interchangeable across material groups.
