Seco 00098796 Turning Insert CP500 Carbide 80 Diamond Cdcb

Product Description

The SECO 00098796 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CDCB Flat Top series, designed for precision metal turning operations on CNC and manual lathes. It features a PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN dual coating, an 80-degree diamond insert shape, and a neutral hand orientation. The inscribed circle measures 5/32 inches (0.1563 inches), the corner radius is 1/64 inches (0.0157 inches), and the maximum depth of cut reaches 0.1429 inches. With a positive rake geometry and 15-degree relief angle, this insert is suited for finishing and light to medium roughing passes where edge sharpness and coating adhesion are critical.

This insert is engineered primarily for stainless steel machining (ISO material code M) and is also rated for steel (P), cast iron (K), and super-alloys and titanium (S). The CP500 manufacturer grade and M10, M20, and M30 material grades make it a practical choice across a broad range of workpiece hardness levels. Typical applications include OD turning, facing, and contour work on horizontal and vertical turning centers in production and job-shop environments. The screw-clamping holding method suits standard CDCB-compatible toolholders.

Key Features

• PVD TiAlN and TiN dual coating for heat resistance and extended edge life on stainless and steel
• 80-degree diamond insert shape with flat top chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Positive rake geometry with 0-degree rake angle and 15-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces
• Neutral hand orientation allows use in left- or right-hand toolholder configurations
• Two cutting edges per insert, ISO code CDCB04T004, conforming to ANSI and ISO standards
• Maximum depth of cut 0.1429 inches supports light to medium material removal rates

Compatibility

Designed for use with CDCB-series screw-clamp toolholders accepting a 5/32-inch inscribed circle insert with a 0.0803-inch hole diameter. Verify toolholder seat geometry and clamp screw size before installation.

Installation Notes

Turning insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine fully stopped and the spindle locked out per applicable safety procedures. Use the correct torx or hex key to the toolholder manufacturer's specified clamp screw torque range. Inspect the toolholder pocket and seating surface for wear or carbide debris before seating the new insert. Never re-index or seat an insert while the machine is powered on.
