Manufactured to style LCMR1605M0-0500-MP, it carries a 0.197-inch maximum cutting width, a 0.177-inch cutting height, and a 0.098-inch corner radius. The insert features a full radius geometry and the MP chipbreaker, which promotes controlled chip flow across a range of workpiece materials. Material grade C2 solid carbide provides the hardness and wear resistance required for consistent performance in production turning environments. Installation is handled by machinists and CNC operators working to close tolerances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 00052438 is suited for turning applications involving hardened steels (H), stainless and alloy steels (M), non-ferrous materials (N), and heat-resistant superalloys (S) as indicated by its primary workpiece material codes. The MDT series design supports multi-directional cutting paths, making it practical for profiling and contour turning passes where tool paths change direction. It is a single-end, neutral-hand insert, compatible with appropriate SECO MDT toolholders. The uncoated solid carbide construction makes it well suited for finishing operations where sharp edge retention is the priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction, material grade C2, for high hardness and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull radius insert geometry with 0.098-inch corner radius supports profiling and contour passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMP chipbreaker promotes chip control across multiple material types\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation for flexible toolholder pairing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish preserves sharp cutting edge for finishing-class operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end insert; 0.699-inch insert length provides stable seating in MDT-series pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with SECO MDT-series toolholders accepting the LCMR1605M0 insert style.

Use the torque wrench specified by the toolholder manufacturer when securing the clamping screw to avoid seat damage or insert fracture. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Dispose of worn carbide inserts in accordance with applicable shop waste and recycling procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: LCMR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1605M0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: LCMR1605M0-0500-MP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: MDT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 883\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.177 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Cutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.197 inches (5.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.098 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.699 inches (17.80 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius Insert\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: MP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, M, N, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00052438\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51558291538226,"sku":"00052438","price":393.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/53872c8b0b18ded5e6c8fc4f12fc5567_e3e282b5-a367-4e07-a8f5-53b3986345ff.jpg?v=1786408728","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-00052438-mdt-turning-insert-883-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
