Seco 00086117 Grooving Insert Lcmf CP500 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00086117 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the LCMF series, designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to ISO standards, this insert carries the CP500 grade designation with a PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN coating over a micrograin carbide substrate. The neutral hand orientation and positive 7-degree rake angle promote clean chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces. A cutting width of 0.1969 inches (5.00 mm) and a corner radius of 0.0160 inches make it well suited for tight-tolerance groove profiles. Machinists and CNC operators install this insert as a direct indexable replacement in compatible LCMF toolholders.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, covering material codes H, K, M, N, O, P, and S — spanning cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, stainless steel, general steel, hardened materials, and superalloys. It is appropriate for both light-duty finishing and moderate roughing groove passes in production turning environments. The LCMF series is common in high-volume shop settings where consistent tool life and repeatable groove geometry are required. Industrial machinists and tool room technicians are the primary users of this insert type.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and insert key for the LCMF toolholder clamp to avoid insert fracture or improper seating. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or damage before seating the new insert, and verify tool offset data in the machine controller after each change.
