Seco 02580778 Turning Insert CP200 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02580778 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert in the MDT series, designed for precision turning operations where controlled cutting geometry is critical. Built from micrograin solid carbide in the CP200 grade and finished with a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating, this insert delivers hardness and wear resistance suited to demanding cutting conditions. The LCMR insert style features a neutral hand orientation, a 7-degree relief angle, and the FT chipbreaker geometry. Cutting width measures 0.157 inches, cutting height measures 0.177 inches, and the corner radius is 0.016 inches. Licensed HVAC and metalworking tradespeople and machining professionals select this insert for high-precision lathe and turning center applications.

This insert is intended for single-end use on turning centers and CNC lathes where multi-directional cutting paths are required. Its primary workpiece material designations are M and S, covering superalloys and titanium — materials common in aerospace, medical, and industrial manufacturing environments. The FT chipbreaker geometry supports efficient chip evacuation in these tough-to-machine alloys. The insert length is 0.630 inches, and it is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units per order.

Key Features

• CP200 micrograin solid carbide grade for hardness and edge stability in superalloy and titanium cutting
• PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating for improved wear resistance and reduced thermal buildup
• FT chipbreaker geometry engineered for efficient chip control in M and S workpiece materials
• Neutral hand orientation suits a wide range of toolholder setups
• 7-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces on difficult materials
• Single-end insert design; sold individually, minimum order quantity of 10

Compatibility

The 02580778 follows the LCMR160404-0400-FT style designation and is designed for use in MDT-series toolholders accepting LCMR160404 insert geometry. Confirm toolholder compatibility using the LCMR insert style code and the 160404 size code before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician following the toolholder manufacturer's torque and clamping specifications. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear, debris, or damage before seating a new insert. Never exceed the recommended cutting parameters for the CP200 grade when machining superalloys or titanium.
