It features a 35-degree diamond insert shape with a neutral hand orientation and a honed cutting edge style. The TP2501 grade uses a CVD-applied Duratomic multilayer coating (TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr) to deliver thermal and wear resistance across a broad range of cut depths. With four cutting edges per insert and a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle, this insert suits production environments where consistent tool life and repeatable finish quality are required. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install and index this insert as part of routine tooling maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for steel as its primary workpiece material (ISO P classification) and is rated for use on stainless steel and cast iron as secondary materials (ISO M and K classifications). Typical applications include back turning, facing, profiling, and general turning. The FF2 chip breaker geometry is well-suited for light to medium depth-of-cut passes where controlled chip flow and surface finish matter. It conforms to ANSI and ISO standards under ISO code VNMG160404-FF2 and industry standard number VNMG331-FF2. Material grades P10, P20, P30, and P35 apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCVD Duratomic multilayer coating (TiCN, Al2O3, Cr) for extended tool life in steel and stainless cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 indexable cutting edges per insert for maximum value in high-volume turning operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFF2 chip breaker geometry optimized for back turning, facing, profiling, and turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35-degree diamond insert shape (VNMG) with negative rake and 0-degree relief angle (clearance code N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoned cutting edge style reduces micro-chipping on entry and exit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClamp, pin, and lever lock holding methods supported for broad toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard production insert for VNMG toolholders conforming to ANSI and ISO VNMG160404 specifications.

Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before accessing the turret or toolholder. Use the appropriate torque wrench or driver for the clamping screw to avoid cracking the carbide insert body — refer to the toolholder manufacturer specification for fastener torque. Inspect the insert pocket seat and shim for wear or damage before seating a new insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: VNMG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VNMG-FF2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VNMG160404-FF2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: VNMG331-FF2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: TP2501\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: P10, P20, P30, P35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN, Al2O3, Cr (CVD Duratomic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diamond 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: FF2\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: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees (Clearance Code N)\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\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/64 inches (0.0157 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches (0.1874 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.307 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3750 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.150 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6142 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp, Pin, Lever Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel (ISO P)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel (ISO M), Cast Iron (ISO K)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Use Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e: Back Turning, Facing, Profiling, Turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.32 inches H x 3.57 inches W x 1.5 inches L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 02956350\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562095444274,"sku":"02956350","price":457.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ac7d1e53bda860385e164a1d38bae419_54dbd695-dc1c-435c-867e-9737b8d6355b.jpg?v=1786471411","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02956350-vnmg331-ff2-tp2501-turning-insert-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
