Seco 02575394 Turning Insert CP200 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02575394 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert in the MDT series, designed for high-performance grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured from micrograin solid carbide in the CP200 grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating, this insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding cutting applications. The LCMR1603M0-0300-MP style features a neutral hand orientation, a 0.118-inch maximum cutting width, a 0.177-inch cutting height, and a 0.059-inch corner radius. The MP chipbreaker geometry supports consistent chip control. Licensed machinists and CNC tool technicians are the primary installers and operators of this insert.

This insert is intended for use in superalloy and titanium workpiece materials, making it well suited for aerospace, medical, and energy-sector turning applications where difficult-to-machine alloys are common. It mounts as a single-end insert and is compatible with MDT series toolholders designed for the LCMR1603M0 insert size code. The full-radius geometry and 7-degree relief angle support both profiling and straight grooving passes on tight-tolerance workpieces.

Key Features

• CP200 micrograin solid carbide grade with PVD TiAlN/TiN coating for extended tool life in superalloys and titanium
• MP chipbreaker geometry promotes reliable chip control during multi-directional turning and grooving
• Full radius insert design supports profiling and contour turning passes
• 7-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces on difficult-to-machine materials
• Neutral hand orientation increases toolholder compatibility across standard MDT setups
• Single-end configuration for straightforward indexing and replacement

Compatibility

Designed for use with MDT series toolholders accepting the LCMR1603M0 insert size code. Optimized for primary workpiece materials classified under ISO material codes M (stainless steel) and S (superalloys and titanium).

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not over-tighten the clamping screw, as this can fracture the insert. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating the new insert.
