Seco 02625472 Turning Insert LCMR160304 TGP25 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02625472 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for precision grooving and turning operations in metal cutting applications. Built to the LCMR insert style, this insert carries the TGP25 manufacturer grade and features a Duratomic coating process for extended wear resistance. It has a cutting height of 0.177 inches, a maximum cutting width of 0.118 inches (3.00 mm), and a corner radius of 0.016 inches. The neutral hand orientation and MT chipbreaker geometry make it adaptable across a range of turning setups. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production environments are the primary users.

This insert is suited for single-end grooving and turning operations on cast iron, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. The MDT series designation places it in multi-directional turning applications where controlled chip formation and consistent edge life are required. It fits toolholders accepting the LCMR160304 insert style with a 7-degree relief angle. The Duratomic coating enhances performance on difficult-to-machine materials including stainless steel and cast iron grades encountered in both job-shop and production settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tool room technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool turret is locked before seating or replacing inserts. Use the correct insert seating torque specified by the toolholder manufacturer for LCMR-style pockets. Verify insert orientation and chipbreaker alignment before resuming cutting operations.
