Built from micrograin solid carbide in the CP500 manufacturer grade, this insert carries a PVD-applied TiAlN\/TiN coating that extends tool life under demanding cutting conditions. It features a neutral hand orientation, an LCMF insert style, and the MP chipbreaker geometry, making it suitable for controlled chip evacuation during finish and semi-finish passes. The double-ended design maximizes insert utilization. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production environments rely on this insert for consistent performance in multi-directional turning applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 00018284 is designed for use in MDT-series multi-directional turning toolholders. It is appropriate for both roughing and finishing passes on a variety of workpiece material types, including hardened materials (H), cast iron (K), stainless steel (M), non-ferrous materials (N), steel (P), and heat-resistant superalloys (S). Its full radius geometry and 7-degree relief angle make it well suited for grooving, profiling, and turning operations where versatile cutting direction capability is required on CNC lathes and turning centers.\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 wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMP chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip formation during finish and semi-finish cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull radius insert design enables multi-directional cutting paths\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-ended configuration provides two usable cutting edges per insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation fits standard MDT-series toolholders without side-specific positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces and edge chipping on diverse workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in MDT-series multi-directional turning toolholders accepting LCMF160300-style inserts.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is indexed to a safe position before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the CP500 grade as specified in the SECO cutting data documentation for the target workpiece material.\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\u003eStyle Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: LCMF160300-A125-MP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160300\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: MDT\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\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: CP500\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\u003eMaximum Cutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches (3.18 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: 0.063 inches (1\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.683 inches (16.60 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\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: MP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius Insert\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double\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: 0.12 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: 00018284\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51558382895410,"sku":"00018284","price":540.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/55539fc1519f43f248b86d2994e879b6.jpg?v=1786410690","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-00018284-turning-insert-cp500-solid-carbide-lcmf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
