Built to the LCMF style in the MDT series, it carries a CP500 manufacturer grade with a micrograin carbide substrate and a PVD-applied TiAlN\/TiN coating for wear resistance and edge retention at elevated cutting temperatures. Key cutting geometry includes a maximum cutting width of 0.187 inches, a cutting height of 0.177 inches, and a corner radius of 0.094 inches. The double-ended, full-radius, neutral-hand design extends tool life and suits high-volume production environments where machinists demand consistent, repeatable performance across multiple material groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for use on both CNC turning centers and manual lathes in residential-shop, job-shop, and industrial production settings. The CP500 grade with MP chipbreaker geometry targets a broad range of workpiece materials — including hardened steels, cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, general steels, and heat-resistant superalloys, corresponding to ISO material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. It is typically installed by machinists and CNC operators performing multi-directional turning, grooving, or profiling passes where a single insert geometry must handle varied cutting directions and stock conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide micrograin substrate with CP500 grade for toughness and edge stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePVD TiAlN\/TiN coating enhances wear resistance and heat management at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-ended neutral-hand design doubles usable cutting edges per insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-radius geometry supports multi-directional turning and profiling passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMP chipbreaker promotes efficient chip control across a wide material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLCMF160500-A187-MP style designation for direct toolholder cross-reference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for LCMF-style MDT series toolholders accepting the 160500 insert size code.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or indexing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and manufacturer-specified clamping hardware for LCMF-style seats to avoid micro-fracturing the carbide. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before each insert change to ensure proper seating and prevent edge chipping during cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: LCMF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: MDT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: LCMF160500-A187-MP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160500\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: CP500\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: Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\/TiN, PVD Applied\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Cutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.187 inches (4.76 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.177 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.094 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.722 inches (17.70 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\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: Double\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: MP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, N, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 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: 00071643\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51564239388978,"sku":"00071643","price":596.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4103858ecac751546d139853032968c2.jpg?v=1786515003","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-00071643-turning-insert-cp500-solid-carbide-0-187-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
