Seco 00034661 Turning Insert 890 Solid Carbide Mdt

Product Description

The SECO 00034661 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert engineered for precision groove turning and profiling applications. Built to the MDT series platform, it features a neutral hand orientation and a double-end design that extends usable tool life between index cycles. The insert carries the 890 micrograin carbide grade, which provides a balance of wear resistance and edge toughness suited to a range of workpiece materials. Key cutting geometry includes a 0.236-inch maximum cutting width, a 0.177-inch cutting height, and a 0.118-inch corner radius, with a full radius profile and a 7-degree relief angle. The MP chipbreaker geometry controls chip flow during moderate-depth turning passes.

This insert is intended for use in MDT-series toolholders accepting the LCMF insert style. It is suited to CNC lathe operations involving external or internal grooving, profiling, and copy turning where multi-directional cutting paths are required. The solid carbide construction and micrograin 890 grade make it appropriate for machining steel, stainless, and similar materials at production feed rates. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production environments are the primary end users. The package quantity is 1 insert per unit, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• 890 micrograin solid carbide grade balances wear resistance and cutting-edge toughness
• Full radius insert profile supports profiling and copy turning passes
• Double-end design provides two usable cutting edges per insert
• Neutral hand orientation fits standard MDT toolholder setups without handedness constraints
• MP chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation at moderate feeds
• 7-degree relief angle reduces rubbing on workpiece contact surfaces

Compatibility

Designed for use in MDT-series toolholders accepting LCMF-style inserts, with the specific style designation LCMF1606M0-0600-MP.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician following the toolholder manufacturer's torque and clamping procedures. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping mechanism for debris or wear before seating a new insert. Do not exceed the maximum cutting width or depth of cut specified for the toolholder and insert combination.
