Seco 00071664 Turning Insert CP500 Solid Carbide Mdt Series

Product Description

The SECO 00071664 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert in the MDT series, designed for precision external and internal turning operations across a broad range of workpiece materials. Manufactured to insert style LCGN with style designation LCGN160302-0320-FG, it features a TiAlN/TiN PVD coating for extended tool life and heat resistance. The insert carries a maximum cutting width of 0.126 inches, a cutting height of 0.177 inches, and a corner radius of 0.008 inches. Manufactured from micrograin solid carbide in the CP500 grade, it is suited for use by machinists and CNC lathe operators in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is designed for multi-directional turning applications where a neutral-hand, single-end LCGN-style insert is required. The FG chipbreaker geometry and 7-degree relief angle make it applicable across a wide range of workpiece material codes including H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering hardened materials, cast iron, stainless, non-ferrous, steel, and superalloys. The MDT series is commonly used in grooving and turning combination operations. This insert is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.
