Seco 02575428 Turning Insert CP200 Solid Carbide Lcmr

Product Description

The SECO 02575428 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for precision single-end turning operations in demanding metal removal applications. Built to the LCMR insert style in the MDT series, this insert features a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating over a micrograin solid carbide substrate in the CP200 manufacturer grade. Key cutting geometry includes a 0.236-inch maximum cutting width, a 0.177-inch cutting height, a 0.031-inch corner radius, and a 0.630-inch insert length. The neutral hand orientation and FT chipbreaker make it suitable for a range of turning setups. Installation and use are performed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in CNC and manual turning environments.

This insert is rated for primary workpiece materials classified under M and S material codes, covering superalloys and titanium. The CP200 grade and PVD coating are selected for heat and wear resistance in these difficult-to-machine material groups. The 7-degree relief angle and FT chipbreaker geometry work together to control chip flow and reduce cutting forces in interrupted or continuous superalloy turning. The LCMR160608-0600-FT style designation identifies the insert geometry, size code 160608, and chipbreaker configuration, allowing direct cross-reference when sourcing replacements for existing toolholders in that insert family.

Key Features

• LCMR insert style, size code 160608, MDT series — direct fit for compatible MDT-style toolholders
• FT chipbreaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation in tough workpiece materials
• 0.236-inch maximum cutting width and 0.031-inch corner radius for defined cut geometry
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible setup in both conventional and CNC turning applications
• Single-end insert design; sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units

Compatibility

Designed for use in MDT-series toolholders accepting LCMR-style inserts with size code 160608. Intended for machining superalloy and titanium workpiece materials as designated by material codes M and S.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed with the machine spindle stopped and all power isolated from the CNC or manual turning center. Use the appropriate torx or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer when securing the clamping screw — do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure full, flush contact. Verify correct insert orientation and hand designation before resuming cutting operations.
