Seco 00071648 Turning Insert CP500 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00071648 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for precision turning and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the LCMF insert style in the MDT series, it carries a TiAlN/TiN PVD coating applied over a micrograin solid carbide substrate in the CP500 grade. The insert delivers a maximum cutting width of 0.236 inches and a cutting height of 0.177 inches, with a 0.039-inch corner radius and a 7-degree relief angle. A neutral hand orientation and double-end configuration make it adaptable to a wide range of turning setups.

This insert is suited for multi-directional turning applications where a single insert must handle axial and radial cutting paths. The MT chipbreaker geometry is optimized for chip control in medium to finish turning cuts. It is appropriate for use in both production and job-shop environments on materials compatible with TiAlN/TiN-coated carbide tooling. The style designation is LCMF160610-0600-MT. Each package contains one insert, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• CP500 micrograin solid carbide grade for wear resistance in multi-directional cuts
• TiAlN/TiN PVD coating for extended tool life and heat resistance
• Neutral hand, double-end insert for flexible setup orientation
• MT chipbreaker for consistent chip control in medium to finish turning
• 7-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces and edge friction
• 0.039-inch corner radius balances edge strength and surface finish

Compatibility

Designed for use in MDT series multi-directional turning toolholders accepting the LCMF insert style. Confirm toolholder seating pocket dimensions against the insert length of 0.630 inches before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and manufacturer-specified clamping hardware to seat the insert fully in the pocket. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before installation to prevent seating errors that can cause premature insert failure or part damage.
