Seco 00091031 Turning Insert CP500 Solid Carbide Pvd

Product Description

The SECO 00091031 is a multi-directional turning insert engineered for precision material removal in CNC turning applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide with a CP500 manufacturer grade, this LCMF-style insert carries a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating designed to extend tool life and maintain edge integrity at elevated cutting temperatures. Key cutting geometry includes a 0.118-inch maximum cutting width, a 0.157-inch cutting height, and a 0.008-inch corner radius. The rectangular insert shape with a 90-degree included angle and 7-degree relief angle delivers consistent chip control across a broad range of workpiece materials. It is part of the MDT series and is installed by CNC machinists and tool crib technicians in production turning environments.

This insert is suited for use across multiple workpiece material categories including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous alloys, carbon and alloy steels, and superalloys, corresponding to ISO material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S. The neutral hand orientation makes it adaptable to both right- and left-hand toolholders, broadening its application across varied turning setups. The FT chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip formation during light to medium finishing passes. A clamp-style insert holding method secures the insert in compatible MDT series toolholders.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide substrate with CP500 grade for wear resistance in demanding turning operations
• PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating for thermal stability and extended edge life
• Neutral hand orientation compatible with both right- and left-hand toolholder setups
• FT chipbreaker geometry for predictable chip control on finishing passes
• 0.008-inch corner radius and 7-degree relief angle for precise, controlled cuts
• Maximum depth of cut up to 0.118 inches (3.00 mm), matching the maximum cutting width

Compatibility

Designed for use in MDT series multi-directional turning toolholders accepting LCMF-style inserts. The manufacturers catalog number for this insert is LCMF130302-0300-FT. Verify toolholder seat and clamping compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians with the machine powered down and all axes at rest. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert — do not overtighten or substitute hardware. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating the new insert. Dispose of worn carbide inserts in accordance with local regulations for hazardous materials.
