Seco 00034651 Turning Insert 883 Solid Carbide Mdt

Product Description

The SECO 00034651 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert in the MDT series, designed for precision grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the 883 manufacturer grade and features a neutral hand orientation with an LCMR insert style. The insert delivers a maximum cutting width of 0.118 inches, a cutting height of 0.177 inches, and a corner radius of 0.016 inches. The uncoated solid carbide construction at material grade C2 provides consistent edge integrity across a range of workpiece materials. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this insert into compatible MDT-series toolholders for high-precision profile and grooving work.

This insert is suited for single-end grooving, turning, and profiling applications across multiple workpiece material categories. Designated primary workpiece material codes include H (hardened materials), M (stainless steel), N (non-ferrous materials), and S (superalloys), making it a versatile option for shops that process diverse material families. It is particularly well-matched to applications requiring tight dimensional tolerances on groove width and depth. The chipbreaker designation MT supports controlled chip formation during light-to-medium cuts.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction at C2 material grade for edge stability
• Uncoated finish for precise dimensional performance on non-ferrous and exotic alloys
• Neutral hand orientation accepts either left- or right-hand toolholder setups
• MT chipbreaker geometry promotes chip control on light-to-medium cuts
• 7-degree relief angle reduces flank wear and supports clean groove walls
• Single-end insert design; full radius feature is not present

Compatibility

Designed for use in MDT-series multi-directional turning and grooving toolholders accepting LCMR160304 insert geometry. Confirm toolholder seat geometry and clamping method before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and insert key specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten the clamping screw, as this can fracture the carbide body. Inspect the toolholder pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating the insert.
