Manufactured to style LCMF160404-0400-MT, it carries a PVD-applied TiAlN\/TiN coating on a micrograin solid carbide substrate graded CP500. The insert delivers a maximum cutting width of 0.157 inches and a cutting height of 0.177 inches, with a 0.016-inch corner radius and a neutral hand orientation. A relief angle of 7 degrees and the MT chipbreaker geometry support stable, controlled chip flow across a wide range of workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for both roughing and finishing passes in multi-directional turning applications across a broad material spectrum. The CP500 grade with PVD TiAlN\/TiN coating addresses steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys, and hardened materials, corresponding to ISO material codes P, M, K, N, S, and H. The double-ended design extends tool life per holder cycle. Typical applications include OD grooving, face grooving, and multi-directional profiling on production lathes in job-shop and high-volume manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCP500 micrograin solid carbide substrate with PVD TiAlN\/TiN coating for wear and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMDT series LCMF style insert geometry supports multi-directional cutting paths\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-ended insert design for extended service life per holder cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMT chipbreaker promotes controlled chip evacuation across multiple material types\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation fits standard MDT toolholders without side-specific inventory\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-degree relief angle reduces flank wear in demanding turning and grooving operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in MDT series toolholders accepting LCMF style inserts with insert size code 160404.

Always index or replace the insert with the machine spindle fully stopped and the machine locked out per facility LOTO procedures. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure proper contact. Do not use worn or damaged clamping hardware, as improper clamping can cause insert movement and tool failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: LCMF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: MDT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: LCMF160404-0400-MT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160404\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: CP500\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\/TiN (PVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Cutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.157 inches (4.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.177 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.630 inches (15.90 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.016 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: MT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius Insert\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, N, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00016729\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559672054066,"sku":"00016729","price":532.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c8a6328957d17bf1c7c6ce27f4eb0161.jpg?v=1786437763","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-00016729-turning-insert-cp500-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
