It carries the industry-standard designation VNMG332-M3 and ISO code VNMG160408-M3, featuring a 35-degree diamond shape (V shape code) with a negative rake and neutral hand orientation. The insert is CVD-coated using SECO Duratomic technology with a TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr multilayer coating system, classified as manufacturer grade TP2501. Four cutting edges are available per insert. The M3 chip breaker geometry features a chamfered and honed cutting edge style suited to moderate depths of cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for use in steel (ISO P) as its primary workpiece material, with secondary suitability for stainless steel (ISO M) and cast iron (ISO K). Material grades P10, P20, P30, and P35 apply. Typical applications include back turning, facing, profiling, and general longitudinal turning. The insert seats via clamp, pin, or lever lock holding methods, making it compatible with a wide range of standard VNMG toolholders used in production and job-shop environments. It conforms to both ANSI and ISO insert standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35-degree diamond insert shape (V) with negative rake for strong edge geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCVD Duratomic multilayer coating: TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr for wear and heat resistance in steel cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 cutting edges per insert for extended tool life per insert consumed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM3 chip breaker geometry with chamfered and honed edge for moderate steel turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with clamp, pin, and lever lock toolholder systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ISO dimensional standards; ISO code VNMG160408-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard VNMG-style toolholders that accept a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle, 35-degree diamond insert with clamp, pin, or lever lock retention.
