Seco 02580772 Mdt Turning Insert CP200 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02580772 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert engineered for precision turning and grooving operations. Built to the LCMF160404 style in the MDT series, it carries a CP200 manufacturer grade with a micrograin carbide substrate and a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating. The insert features a 0.157-inch maximum cutting width, a 0.177-inch cutting height, and a 0.016-inch corner radius. The FT chipbreaker geometry and neutral hand orientation make it suitable for a range of toolholder setups. This insert is a double-ended design, extending tool life between index cycles. It is sized and specified for use by machinists and CNC turning professionals working in demanding material categories.

This insert is rated primarily for superalloys and titanium (ISO material codes M and S), making it well suited for aerospace, medical, and high-performance industrial turning applications. The PVD TiAlN/TiN coating provides thermal and oxidation resistance at elevated cutting temperatures common in these materials. The LCMF160404 insert style fits standard MDT-series toolholders designed for that insert form. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• CP200 micrograin solid carbide substrate with PVD TiAlN/TiN coating for superalloy and titanium cutting
• LCMF160404 insert style in the MDT series for multi-directional turning and grooving
• Double-ended design maximizes the number of cutting edges per insert
• FT chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip formation in tough materials
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible toolholder compatibility
• 7-degree relief angle for positive clearance during cut

Compatibility

Designed for use in MDT-series toolholders accepting the LCMF160404 insert style. Optimized for machining superalloys and titanium (ISO M and S workpiece material codes).

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed with the machine fully powered down and spindle at rest. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert-seating tool recommended for LCMF-style pockets to avoid seat damage. Verify the insert is fully seated and the clamping screw is properly torqued before resuming cuts. Follow the toolholder manufacturer guidelines for insert indexing and replacement intervals.
