Seco 02575422 Turning Insert CP200 Solid Carbide 0.25in

Product Description

The SECO 02575422 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for high-performance grooving and turning operations on difficult-to-machine materials. Built to the LCMF160600 insert style in the MDT series, this double-ended neutral-hand insert features a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating over a micrograin carbide substrate in the CP200 grade. It carries a 0.25-inch maximum cutting width, a 0.177-inch cutting height, and a 1/8-inch full corner radius. The MP chipbreaker geometry is engineered for stable chip control across a range of feed and depth conditions. Licensed HVAC and machining professionals install this insert in compatible MDT toolholders for precision material removal.

This insert is intended for turning, grooving, and parting applications on superalloys and titanium workpieces, covering ISO material codes M and S. Its neutral hand orientation supports use in both left- and right-hand cutting directions. The full-radius geometry and double-ended configuration make it well suited for high-wear production environments where insert economy and consistent tool life are priorities. Typical install scenarios include CNC turning centers and multi-axis machining cells where precise groove geometry on exotic alloys is required.

Key Features

• CP200 micrograin solid carbide grade with PVD TiAlN/TiN coating for extended tool life on superalloys and titanium
• Full corner radius (1/8 inch) for consistent profile accuracy on every pass
• Double-ended design doubles the number of usable cutting edges per insert
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible left- or right-hand toolholder compatibility
• MP chipbreaker geometry promotes stable chip evacuation across varied feed rates
• LCMF160600-A250-MP style designation simplifies cross-referencing to MDT toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for MDT series toolholders accepting LCMF160600 style inserts with a 0.25-inch cutting width and 7-degree relief angle.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is securely clamped in the turret before seating or replacing the insert. Verify the insert pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before torquing the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the insert seating and edge condition before resuming cutting operations.
