It features a 35-degree diamond (rhombic) shape, a neutral hand orientation, and a honed cutting edge style. The inscribed circle measures 0.375 inches and the corner radius is 0.0156 inches (1\/64 inches). With 4 cutting edges and a negative rake and side clearance configuration, this insert is suited for moderate wear-resistance and toughness applications across steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum workpiece materials. It is installed by machinists and CNC operators in production turning environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is designed for use in external and internal turning operations including facing, boring, back turning, and back boring. The MS chip breaker geometry supports roughing and medium machining operations. Primary workpiece materials include stainless steel and superalloys and titanium, with applicability across P, M, K, N, and S material codes. It is held by clamp or pin mounting in KENLOC-series toolholders. Typical applications include general-purpose lathe work and CNC turning centers in both light industrial and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKC5025 grade with TiAlN PVD coating for moderate wear-resistance and toughness across multiple workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e35-degree diamond (rhombic) insert shape with VNMG331MS geometry for versatile turning and boring operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMS chip breaker supports roughing and medium machining applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 cutting edges per insert for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNegative rake and negative side clearance (clearance code N) configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHoned cutting edge style for improved edge stability on difficult materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in KENLOC-series toolholders accepting VNMG-style inserts held by clamp or pin.
