Seco 02844549 Mdt Turning Insert Lcgf CP200 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02844549 is a solid carbide, multi-directional turning (MDT) insert designed for high-performance grooving and turning operations in demanding CNC machining applications. Manufactured from micrograin solid carbide in the CP200 grade with a PVD coating, this insert delivers consistent edge integrity and extended tool life when cutting superalloys and titanium. It carries an LCGF insert style designation, a 1606M0 size code, and uses an RP chipbreaker geometry optimized for chip control in difficult-to-machine materials. The insert is double-ended and held in place by a clamp-style insert seat, making it a practical choice for production turning environments where insert changes must be fast and reliable.

This insert is intended for use in CNC turning centers and multi-directional turning toolholders configured for the MDT series with a seat size of 16. It is engineered for primary workpiece materials classified under ISO material codes M and S, covering stainless steels, superalloys, and titanium alloys. These material groups are common in aerospace, medical, and energy sector component machining. The neutral hand orientation makes it suitable for both standard and back-turning setups without requiring a handed insert change.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction in CP200 grade for toughness in difficult materials
• PVD coating process for improved edge sharpness and thermal resistance
• RP chipbreaker geometry designed for superalloy and titanium chip control
• Full radius insert geometry with a corner radius of 0.1180 inches for consistent profiling
• Double-ended design extends usable insert life per unit
• Neutral hand orientation supports versatile setup configurations
• Clamp-style insert holding for secure, repeatable seating

Compatibility

Designed for use in MDT series multi-directional turning toolholders with an insert seat size of 16 that accept LCGF-style inserts. Intended for machining superalloys and titanium (ISO material codes M and S).

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Ensure the insert seat and clamp contact surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque specifications and verify secure seating before resuming cutting operations.
