It features a micrograin carbide substrate with a PVD-applied TiAlN\/TiN coating under the CP500 manufacturer grade, delivering wear resistance and thermal stability across a broad range of workpiece materials. The insert measures 0.187 inches maximum cutting width, 0.177 inches cutting height, and 0.630 inches insert length, with a 0.020 inches corner radius. The neutral hand orientation and double-end design maximize insert utilization per unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 00018338 is suited for multi-directional turning, profiling, and grooving applications in both roughing and finishing passes. It is rated for use on workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering hardened materials, cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous alloys, steel, and heat-resistant superalloys. This insert is typically installed by machinists and CNC operators in production turning environments, and it follows the LCMF insert style with the style designation LCMF160505-A187-FT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCP500 manufacturer grade with micrograin solid carbide substrate for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePVD-applied TiAlN\/TiN coating for thermal and abrasion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-end design provides two usable cutting edges per insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation for flexible toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFT chipbreaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation during multi-directional cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-degree relief angle supports positive cutting action and reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in LCMF-style toolholders within the MDT series.
