SEET, SEKT, SEHT & SEER Face Milling Inserts
Compare SEET1203AFEN, SEKT1204AFTN, SEHT1204AFFN, SEER1203AFS and SEER1504AFS by dimensions, geometry direction, grade availability and cutter compatibility. Match SEKT1204AFTN and SEHT1204AFFN to TSE-45 face milling cutters, and match SEET1203AFEN plus the SEER platforms to compatible SE-12 cutter bodies.
Five SE Face Milling Insert Models
Use the complete designation rather than ordering from the two-letter “SE” family name. Dimensions, grades and cutter compatibility differ between the 1203, 1204 and 1504 platforms.
1203 Face Milling Platform
L and IC 12.55 mm, thickness 3.18 mm and RE 0.80 mm. Grade Options are D530, D570 and D580; cutter platform is SE-12.
General 1204 Face Milling
13.40 mm IC platform with four coated grade options and confirmed TSE-45 compatibility.
Aluminum / Non-Ferrous
The same core 1204 dimensions with D01 grade direction and confirmed TSE-45 compatibility.
Compact SEER Platform
12.58 mm IC and 3.44 mm thickness for a compatible SE-12 face milling cutter.
Larger SEER Platform
15.88 mm IC and 4.88 mm thickness for a larger compatible SE-12 face milling cutter.
What Are SEET, SEKT, SEHT and SEER Inserts?
These are square positive-relief indexable milling insert families used for face milling in compatible cutter bodies.
The first two letters identify the square shape and positive clearance direction, while the following letters and numbers distinguish tolerance, clamping form, size and geometry. The complete code is required because SEET1203, SEKT1204, SEHT1204, SEER1203 and SEER1504 are not one universal pocket.
SEET1203AFEN
12.55 mm square platform, 3.18 mm thickness and 0.80 mm corner radius. Grades D530, D570 and D580; compatible with the SE-12 platform.
General Coated 1204
AFTN geometry and D530, D570, D580 or D7320 grade options.
Non-Ferrous 1204
AFFN geometry with D01 grade for aluminum and related non-ferrous direction.
SEER1203AFS
Compact SEER platform with a 2.30 mm mounting-hole dimension for a compatible SE-12 cutter.
SEER1504AFS
Larger SEER platform with 15.88 mm IC and 4.88 mm thickness for a compatible SE-12 cutter.

Grade Options by Workpiece Material
First verify that the grade is listed for the complete insert model, then match the material, machining stability, coolant and wear mode. SEET1203AFEN is available in D530, D570 and D580.
Steel and cast-iron direction where toughness and interrupted-cut reliability are important.
General steel and stainless-steel direction, including stable and lighter finishing loads.
Steel and cast-iron direction for selected stable machining and wear-resistance requirements.
General-purpose direction across steel, stainless steel and cast iron.
Aluminum and non-ferrous direction, listed only for SEHT1204AFFN.
TSE-45 Face Milling Cutter
Compatible with SEKT1204AFTN and SEHT1204AFFN.
Match SEKT and SEHT 1204 Inserts to TSE-45 Cutters
The TSE-45 face milling range is specified for the SE□T1204 platform. This confirms the SEKT1204AFTN and SEHT1204AFFN size direction, but the complete geometry and actual pocket condition must still be checked.

Match SEET1203AFEN and SEER Inserts to SE-12 Cutters
SEET1203AFEN, SEER1203AFS and SEER1504AFS use the SE-12 face milling cutter platform. The exact cutter pocket must match the selected 1203 or 1504 insert size.
SE Face Milling Insert Applications
Actual feed, depth and surface result depend on the complete insert, grade, cutter body, workpiece material, machine rigidity and setup.
45° Face Milling
Primary application for SEKT1204AFTN and SEHT1204AFFN in compatible TSE-45 cutters.
