Manufactured from solid carbide and coated via CVD with a multilayer Duratomic system — TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr — the insert delivers thermal stability and wear resistance across a range of cutting conditions. The TP1501 grade targets P10 and P20 steel classifications with secondary capability in cast iron (K) and hard materials (H). With four usable cutting edges and an M3 chip breaker geometry, it is suited for boring, facing, and general turning operations at moderate to aggressive material removal rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for use in production turning on CNC lathes and machining centers in both job shop and production environments. The 80-degree diamond (C) shape provides good nose strength for interrupted cuts and profiling. The M3 chip breaker geometry handles medium-depth roughing and semi-finishing passes on steel components. The chamfered and honed cutting edge style improves edge stability and reduces built-up edge when cutting ferrous workpieces. It is compatible with CNMG-style toolholders using clamp, pin, or lever-lock holding methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDuratomic CVD multilayer coating: TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr for thermal and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTP1501 grade optimized for P10 and P20 steel with K and H secondary capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3 chip breaker geometry for medium roughing and semi-finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour cutting edges per insert for extended tool life economy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChamfered and honed cutting edge style reduces chipping and built-up edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNegative rake, neutral hand — compatible with clamp, pin, and lever-lock CNMG toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMulti-use application: boring, facing, and turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CNMG-style toolholders with clamp, pin, or lever-lock holding methods. ISO code CNMG160608-M3; industry standard number CNMG542-M3. Conforms to ANSI and ISO insert standards. Primary workpiece material is steel (P); secondary materials include cast iron (K) and hard materials (H).

Power down and de-energize the machine tool, and ensure the spindle is fully stopped before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and manufacturer-specified clamping hardware for the toolholder type — do not over-torque the clamping screw. Inspect the insert seat and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper contact and cutting-edge positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: CNMG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: CNMG-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: TP1501\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 (Duratomic CVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diamond 80 (C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6339 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inches (0.0315 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6024 inches\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\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chamfered and 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 Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp, Pin, Lever Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel (P)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron (K), Hard Material (H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: P10, P20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: CVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: CNMG160608-M3\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 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: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 02959918\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557783765298,"sku":"02959918","price":398.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/830d1a60058b85152bb9642d1c361a8b_1cd18845-35d6-4350-8eb3-fcc105a86a12.jpg?v=1786395128","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02959918-cnmg542-m3-tp1501-turning-insert-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
