Seco 00052394 Mdt Turning Insert Lcmr CP600 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00052394 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning (MDT) insert designed for precision grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to LCMR160404-0400-MC style geometry with manufacturer grade CP600, this insert features a PVD coating process for improved wear resistance and tool life. Key dimensional specs include an insert length of 0.630 inches, a cutting height of 0.177 inches, a maximum cutting width of 0.157 inches (4.00 mm), and a corner radius of 0.016 inches. The chipbreaker designation is MC, and the relief angle is 7 degrees. Installation is handled by machinists and CNC tooling technicians working in production and job-shop environments.

The 00052394 insert is suited for single-end, neutral-hand toolholders in the MDT series. It carries primary workpiece material codes M, N, P, and S, covering a broad range of ferrous, non-ferrous, and heat-resistant alloy applications. This insert is appropriate for light to medium grooving, profiling, and turning passes where precise width control and consistent chip formation are critical. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Key Features

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the insert clamp. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper contact and runout.
