It features a 35-degree diamond (rhombic) shape, a positive rake angle of 15 degrees, and a 5-degree relief angle with positive side clearance. The FP chip breaker geometry is optimized for finishing operations. With 2 cutting edges and a honed cutting edge style, this insert is suited to productive, consistent performance on steel and stainless steel turning applications. Licensed tradespeople and CNC machinists install this insert in screw-on style toolholders on CNC lathes and turning centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is designed for finishing passes on steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpieces. The KCM15 grade delivers moderate wear resistance combined with toughness on steel (ISO P materials) and transitions to high-to-moderate wear resistance on stainless steel (ISO M materials). Multi-use application coverage includes turning, facing, boring, back turning, and back boring. The inscribed circle measures 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches), insert length is 16.61 mm (1.3076 inches), and the corner radius is 1\/64 inches (0.0156 inches). Maximum depth of cut is 1.25 mm (0.0492 inches), consistent with the finishing-class geometry designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMTCVD multilayer TiCN and Al2O3 coating for wear resistance on ferrous and heat-resistant alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFP chip breaker optimized for finishing operations with positive rake for reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e35-degree diamond (rhombic) insert shape provides a sharp, low-included-angle cutting geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 usable cutting edges with honed edge preparation for improved edge stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive side clearance and 5-degree relief angle reduce rubbing and flank wear on finish cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew-on holding method ensures secure, repeatable insert clamping in compatible toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in screw-on style VBMT toolholders compatible with ANSI insert code VBMT331 and ISO insert code VBMT160404.

Power down and zero out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the clamping screw to the correct engagement — do not overtighten, as carbide inserts are brittle and susceptible to fracture under excessive clamping force. Inspect the toolholder pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper contact and accurate tool offset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VBMT331\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VBMT160404\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: V - Diamond (Rhombic) 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KCM15\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN and Al2O3 (Multilayer CVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: MTCVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: FP (Finishing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16.61 mm (1.3076 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/64 inches (0.0156 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 mm (0.0492 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1732 inches (4.40 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 degrees positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide Clearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Honed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Superalloys, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C2, C3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3769133\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738763428146,"sku":"3769133","price":258.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/34ee5870d3425c1c14176545c473670e_f69415c5-227a-4144-b662-f344e3bbd035.jpg?v=1788804072","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-3769133-turning-insert-vbmt331fp-kcm15-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
