It carries the TP2501 manufacturer grade with a Duratomic CVD-applied multilayer coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr, engineered to extend tool life under demanding cutting conditions. The insert features an 80-degree diamond shape (CNMG160608-M3 ISO code), a neutral hand orientation, a chamfered and honed cutting edge, and the M3 chip breaker geometry for general-purpose roughing and medium turning. Four usable cutting edges per insert are available, and the part accepts clamp, pin, or lever lock holding methods. Weight is 0.04 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for facing, boring, and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers in job shop and production environments. Primary workpiece material is steel (ISO code P), with secondary suitability for stainless steel (M) and cast iron (K). Material grades P10, P20, P30, and P35 are within the recommended application range. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die specialists, and CNC operators in metalworking shops are the typical end users. The M3 chip breaker geometry performs across moderate to heavy depths of cut, making it a practical choice for both production turning and one-off turning jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTP2501 grade with Duratomic CVD multilayer coating (TiCN, Al2O3, Cr) for extended tool life in steel cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e80-degree diamond insert shape with negative rake and 0-degree relief angle (clearance code N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3 chip breaker with chamfered and honed cutting edge for controlled chip formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour cutting edges per insert (multi-tipped) for maximum value per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with clamp, pin, and lever lock toolholding systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMulti-use geometry supports boring, facing, and turning in a single insert style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to fit CNMG-style toolholders that accept a 5\/8 inch inscribed circle insert with a 1\/4 inch thickness and a 0.25 inch center hole.

Always index or replace inserts with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped. Use the appropriate torque wrench and manufacturer-specified clamping screw when seating the insert to ensure consistent clamping force without over-torquing the lock mechanism. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating a fresh edge.\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\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: CNMG160608-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: CNMG542-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: TP2501\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 degrees\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\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch (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 inch (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inch (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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide\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: Stainless Steel (M), Cast Iron (K)\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\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO\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: 02959919\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557793595698,"sku":"02959919","price":49.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/830d1a60058b85152bb9642d1c361a8b_d914073d-b1cf-49aa-a694-6da459bbf628.jpg?v=1786395446","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02959919-turning-insert-cnmg542-m3-tp2501-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
