Seco 00072764 Mdt Turning Insert CP500 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00072764 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for precision grooving and turning operations in demanding machining environments. Carrying the CP500 manufacturer grade and applied via a PVD coating process, this insert delivers reliable edge performance and wear resistance. It features a dog bone shape with a neutral hand orientation, making it suited for multi-directional cutting paths. The insert measures 0.157 inches maximum cutting width, 0.177 inches cutting height, and 0.630 inches in length, with a 0.016 inch corner radius. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists install this insert as part of the MDT series tooling system on indexable turning and grooving setups.

This insert is engineered primarily for superalloy and titanium workpiece materials, aligning with ISO material codes P and M. It is applied in both roughing and finishing passes where controlled chip formation is critical. The MG chipbreaker geometry supports stable cutting action across these difficult-to-machine materials. Typical applications include aerospace component machining, medical part turning, and industrial grooving operations where superalloy and titanium stock is common. The insert fits into compatible MDT series toolholders and conforms to the LCMF insert style with a size code of 160404, also referenced under catalog number LCMF160404-0400-MG.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing any insert. Use the appropriate torx or clamping key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert — do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping mechanism for wear or debris before installation to ensure proper seating and edge alignment.
