Seco 02625477 Turning Insert LCMF1603040300MC TGP25

Product Description

The SECO 02625477 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for high-performance grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured under the MDT series, this insert carries the TGP25 grade with a Duratomic coating process, delivering wear resistance and thermal stability across a range of metalcutting applications. The insert features a neutral hand orientation and MC chipbreaker geometry. Cutting height is 0.177 inches, maximum cutting width is 0.118 inches, and insert length is 0.63 inches. The double-end configuration extends usable tool life per insert. This part is installed by machinists and tooling technicians in production and job-shop turning environments.

The SECO 02625477 is suited for turning and grooving operations on cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon or alloy steel workpieces, corresponding to ISO material codes K, M, and P. The MDT series insert style LCMF160304-0300-MC fits standard MDT toolholders designed for that insert geometry. It is appropriate for both light and moderate-duty interrupted and continuous cuts where a coated solid carbide grade is specified. Typical applications include OD grooving, face grooving, and profile turning in medium-volume production runs.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with Duratomic coating for extended wear resistance
• TGP25 manufacturer grade rated for cast iron, stainless steel, and steel (ISO K, M, P)
• MC chipbreaker geometry for controlled chip formation during grooving
• Double-end insert design maximizes cutting edges per unit
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible toolholder compatibility
• Relief angle of 7 degrees reduces rubbing on the workpiece flank

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for MDT series toolholders accepting LCMF160304 insert style geometry. Confirm toolholder seat dimensions and clamping method before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and seating tool specified by the toolholder manufacturer when clamping the insert. Inspect the insert seat and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and runout.
