Seco 00034660 Turning Insert 890 Solid Carbide Neutral

Product Description

The SECO 00034660 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for precision grooving and turning operations. Built to the LCMF insert style in the MDT series, it features a 0.236-inch maximum cutting width, a 0.177-inch cutting height, and a 0.031-inch corner radius. The insert is double-ended with a neutral hand orientation, allowing versatile use in multi-directional tool holders. Manufactured from micrograin solid carbide in the 890 grade, it delivers consistent edge integrity under demanding cutting conditions. It is supplied uncoated with an FT chipbreaker geometry and a 7-degree relief angle. Licensed machinists and CNC turning professionals are the typical installers of this insert type.

This insert is intended for use on superalloys and titanium as its primary workpiece materials, corresponding to material codes M, N, and S. It fits applications in aerospace, medical, and high-performance industrial machining environments where tight tolerances and difficult-to-machine materials are the norm. The LCMF160608-0600-FT style designation identifies its geometry and chipbreaker configuration for direct reference when selecting compatible toolholders in the MDT series. The double-end design extends usable insert life by providing two active cutting edges per insert body.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction in 890 grade for consistent edge retention on difficult materials
• LCMF insert style with neutral hand orientation for multi-directional cutting paths
• FT chipbreaker geometry suited for superalloy and titanium turning
• Double-ended design provides two cutting edges per insert
• 0.031-inch corner radius minimizes stress concentration at the cutting edge
• Uncoated finish for applications where coating adhesion or edge sharpness requirements favor bare carbide

Compatibility

Designed for use in MDT series multi-directional turning toolholders accepting LCMF-style inserts; confirm toolholder seat geometry and clamping compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's published assembly procedure. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the toolholder pocket for debris or damage prior to seating the insert. Handle solid carbide inserts carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edges during installation.
