Built to style LCMF1603M0-0300-MP, this double-ended insert features a micrograin carbide substrate and a PVD-applied TiAlN\/TiN coating in the CP500 grade. The full-radius geometry and MP chipbreaker deliver consistent chip control across a broad range of workpiece materials. With a 0.118-inch maximum cutting width and a 0.059-inch corner radius, it is well suited for grooving, turning, and multi-directional cutting paths. Machinists and CNC programmers in production shops install this insert in compatible MDT toolholders for high-efficiency finishing and light roughing passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert applies to a wide range of workpiece materials, including hardened steels (H), cast irons (K), stainless steels (M), non-ferrous metals (N), carbon and alloy steels (P), and heat-resistant superalloys (S). The neutral hand orientation makes it suitable for both right-hand and left-hand cutting directions without a dedicated toolholder change. It is used in CNC turning centers and live-tool lathes in both job-shop and high-volume production environments where a single insert must handle multiple material families.\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 extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-radius insert geometry supports multi-directional cutting paths in a single setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMP chipbreaker promotes reliable chip evacuation across steel, stainless, and superalloy applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-ended design provides two usable cutting edges per insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation reduces toolholder inventory requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces on light-wall and thin-section workpieces\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.

Seat the insert fully into the toolholder pocket and verify clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer specification before resuming operation. Do not use damaged or chipped inserts, as irregular geometry will affect surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before each index.\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\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1603M0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: LCMF1603M0-0300-MP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: MDT\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: MP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Cutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.118 inches (3.00 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\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.059 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.674 inches (17.00 mm)\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\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius Insert\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 pounds\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\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: 00016837\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557861982514,"sku":"00016837","price":540.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f72769a3ccd46c44d724961256f845de.jpg?v=1786396710","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-00016837-turning-insert-cp500-solid-carbide-mdt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
