Built from solid carbide with a CVD-applied Duratomic coating stack of TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr, this insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability during continuous and interrupted cuts. It carries a TP1501 grade designation and targets steel as its primary workpiece material. The diamond-shaped 35-degree included angle body holds four cutting edges, and the M3 chip breaker geometry is optimized for medium-depth finishing and profiling passes. The 0.0315-inch corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and surface finish quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for CNC turning centers and manual lathes running steel, cast iron, and hard materials in production and job-shop environments. Typical applications include back turning, facing, profiling, and general OD turning. The neutral hand orientation makes it usable on standard right-hand toolholders without mirroring. The M3 chip breaker performs across a range of feed rates, making it practical for operations that shift between roughing passes and finishing cuts on the same setup. Maximum depth of cut reaches 0.5748 inches, supporting both light and moderate stock removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVNMG332-M3 geometry with 35-degree diamond shape and four usable cutting edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTP1501 Duratomic CVD coating (TiCN \/ Al2O3 \/ Cr) for extended tool life on steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3 chip breaker suited for back turning, facing, profiling, and turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.0315-inch corner radius balances edge toughness with surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNegative rake, N clearance, M tolerance — compatible with clamp, pin, and lever-lock holding methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code VNMG160408-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with VNMG-style toolholders accepting a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle insert.
