Seco 00091249 Multi-directional Turning Insert CP500

Product Description

The SECO 00091249 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for precision grooving and turning operations in demanding machining environments. Manufactured to insert style LCMF with a dog bone shape, this insert carries the CP500 manufacturer grade and features a PVD coating process for extended tool life and thermal resistance. It is engineered for use on CNC lathes and turning centers where controlled chip formation and consistent surface finish are required. The FT chipbreaker geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, making this insert well suited to high-performance turning applications on difficult-to-machine materials.

This insert is intended for machining superalloys and titanium as its primary workpiece materials, with additional suitability for materials in the M workpiece category. It fits into the MDT series tooling system and is appropriate for production environments where tight tolerances and reliable insert performance are essential. A neutral hand orientation allows flexible application in both right-hand and left-hand toolholders within compatible MDT series systems. Machinists and CNC programmers working in aerospace, medical, and high-performance industrial applications will find this insert relevant to their toolpath requirements.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with CP500 grade for strength in superalloy and titanium cutting
• PVD coating provides wear resistance and reduced built-up edge in difficult materials
• FT chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip flow during grooving and turning
• Dog bone shape with neutral hand orientation for versatile toolholder compatibility
• Relief angle of 0 degrees supports stable edge engagement during radial operations
• MDT series designation ensures compatibility with the corresponding SECO toolholder system

Compatibility

Designed for use with MDT series toolholders that accept LCMF insert style with a 16050805 size code. Verify toolholder seat dimensions against insert length and cutting width specifications before installation. No additional compatible model numbers were specified in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the insert securely without over-torquing the clamping screw. Confirm that the insert pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before seating the new insert. Always verify tool offset data in the CNC control after an insert change before resuming production cuts.
