Seco 00088704 Mdt Turning Insert CP600 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00088704 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert in the MDT series, designed for external and grooving turning operations requiring precise chip control and directional flexibility. It carries a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating in grade CP600 and features an LCMF style geometry with a maximum cutting width of 0.157 inches and a cutting height of 0.177 inches. The 0.008-inch corner radius and MC chipbreaker promote controlled chip formation across a range of workpiece materials. This insert is installed by CNC machinists and turning center operators in production and job-shop environments.

The 00088704 is suited for turning operations on ISO material groups M (stainless steel), N (non-ferrous), P (steel), and S (high-temperature alloys and titanium). Its double-ended, right-hand configuration extends tool life and reduces per-edge cost in high-mix turning applications. The CP600 grade and PVD coating make it a practical choice for finishing and semi-finishing passes where surface integrity and edge sharpness are priorities. It fits standard LCMF-style toolholders used in both conventional and Swiss-style turning centers.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction, material grade C5, for rigidity and wear resistance
• PVD TiAlN/TiN coating (CP600 grade) for thermal resistance and extended edge life
• LCMF style with MC chipbreaker geometry for consistent chip evacuation
• Double-ended insert design maximizes usable cutting edges per insert
• 0.008-inch corner radius supports finishing and semi-finishing tolerance requirements
• Compatible with ISO material groups M, N, P, and S workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed for use in LCMF-style MDT series toolholders. Compatible insert style is LCMF160402-0400-MCR15. Suitable for workpiece material codes M, N, P, and S per ISO classification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key torque driver as specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not over-torque the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper seating and runout.
