This multi-tipped, square-shaped carbide insert features a Duratomic CVD coating system combining TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr layers for high wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials. The F1 chip breaker geometry is optimized for finishing cuts, delivering a sharp cutting edge and positive rake angle. With a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle, 1\/32-inch corner radius, and 7-degree relief angle, it is suited to light to moderate depths of cut in production environments. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert as a direct screw-held replacement during routine insert indexing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is rated for use on steel (P-class), stainless steel (M-class), and cast iron (K-class) workpieces, corresponding to material grades P10, P20, P30, and P35. Typical applications include facing, boring, and external turning on both light and medium-duty lathes. The neutral hand orientation and positive side clearance make it adaptable to a wide range of toolholder configurations that accept SCMT-format inserts. Four usable cutting edges per insert extend service life between tool changes. The F1 chip breaker geometry is specifically matched to finishing passes where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are the primary objectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDuratomic CVD coating (TiCN, Al2O3, Cr) delivers high wear resistance for steel and stainless steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eF1 chip breaker geometry optimized for finishing operations with a sharp cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare insert shape (90-degree included angle) with positive rake and 7-degree relief angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour indexable cutting edges per insert for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation compatible with a broad range of SCMT toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew-held mounting for secure, repeatable insert positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in toolholders accepting SCMT-style inserts per ANSI insert code SCMT32.52 and ISO insert code SCMT09T308.

Index or replace inserts only after powering down the machine spindle and engaging all axis locks per shop safety procedures. Use the appropriate torque driver for the insert clamping screw — refer to the toolholder manufacturer specifications for correct clamping torque. Inspect the insert pocket seat and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper edge height and rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: SCMT32.52\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: SCMT09T308\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: SCMT-F1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: TP2501\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: S - Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3748 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3748 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inch (0.1563 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: 0.1772 inches (4.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3425 inches\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\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: CVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: F1 (Finishing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide\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\u003eSide Clearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWiper Edge\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw\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\u003eMulti-Use Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Boring, Facing, Turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: 02960396\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563910660402,"sku":"02960396","price":28.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5ca32a05fa495657d2e9793bda2032c0_93320271-e7aa-4b4f-aeed-a3c0a891b19f.jpg?v=1786506590","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02960396-scmt32-52-f1-tp2501-carbide-turning-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
