Seco 02583298 Turning Insert CP500 Solid Carbide Pvd

Product Description

The SECO 02583298 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert engineered for precision external turning operations. Built from micrograin solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating, this insert delivers controlled material removal across a wide range of workpiece materials. It carries the CP500 manufacturer grade and is designed for right-hand operation in the MDT series tooling system. The cutting width reaches 0.118 inches, the cutting height is 0.177 inches, and the insert length is 0.630 inches. Corner radius ranges from 0.008 to 0.016 inches, offering flexibility in finish requirements. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists are the primary installers of this insert class.

This insert is suited for both roughing and finishing passes across hard-to-machine and conventional workpiece materials. Primary workpiece material codes covered include H, K, M, N, P, and S, spanning hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous alloys, carbon steels, and heat-resistant superalloys. The double-end configuration extends service life by providing two usable cutting edges per insert. Typical application environments include CNC turning centers and manual lathes running production or job-shop operations requiring consistent edge geometry and coating durability.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and torque should follow the toolholder manufacturer specifications for the MDT series clamping system. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use appropriate insert handling tools to avoid contact with cutting edges. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for debris or wear before seating a new insert to ensure proper edge registration.
