Seco 00091351 Mdt Turning Insert LCMF160604-0600-FT CP500

Product Description

The SECO 00091351 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning (MDT) insert designed for precision grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the LCMF160604-0600-FT style designation, this double-ended insert carries the CP500 manufacturer grade with a PVD coating process for extended tool life in demanding cut conditions. The insert features a neutral hand orientation and an FT chipbreaker geometry. With a cutting height of 0.177 inches and a maximum cutting width of 0.236 inches, it delivers consistent chip control and dimensional accuracy across a range of workpiece materials.

This insert is suited for multi-directional turning applications in both production and job-shop environments. It is compatible with workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering a broad range of materials including cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, steel, stainless steel, heat-resistant superalloys, and general-purpose materials. Machinists and CNC tooling technicians working on precision turned components will find this insert applicable across a variety of finish and semi-finish grooving scenarios requiring tight dimensional control.

Key Features

• CP500 grade with PVD coating for improved wear resistance and cutting performance
• Double-ended insert design for extended usable tool life per unit
• FT chipbreaker geometry promotes effective chip evacuation during grooving cuts
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and edge integrity
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible tool holder compatibility
• 7-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces on the workpiece

Compatibility

Compatible with workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Intended for use in MDT-series tool holders accepting LCMF-style inserts. Verify holder pocket specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine spindle fully stopped and the machine in a locked-out, tagged-out state. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert-clamping hardware specified by the tool holder manufacturer. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before seating the insert. Do not force the insert into the pocket; ensure proper seating before applying clamping torque.
