Seco TP1500
TP1500 is a Seco carbide insert grade (Duratomic® CVD), applied in the ISO P area. In this cross-reference it appears on 11 insert designations; the same insert geometry is also made by ISCAR, Kennametal, Mitsubishi, Sandvik, Tungaloy, Walter. A reference record exists, but its evidence is not approved for service. Same position is not the same performance: verify on a sample part before switching.

Frequently asked questions
What is Seco TP1500?
TP1500 is a Seco carbide insert grade (Duratomic® CVD), applied in the ISO P area, used in 11 insert designations in this reference.
Does this cross-reference favour specific brands?
No. Comparable grades appear here only because manufacturer-published comparison charts place them at the same ISO application position. No manufacturer pays for placement, nothing on this page is sponsored, and CuttingToolsAI sells no tools and earns no commission. Placements backed by a single chart are flagged as such, and every comparison ends the same way: verify on a sample part before switching.
