It features a triangular insert shape with a 60-degree included angle, a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle, and a 1\/32-inch corner radius. The insert carries a CVD-applied Duratomic multilayer coating consisting of TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr, targeting grade TP2501 performance across a range of steel and stainless steel applications. Three cutting edges are available per insert, and the M3 chip breaker geometry is engineered for controlled chip formation during medium-duty turning operations. Installation is performed by licensed machinists and CNC operators using standard screw-clamp toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for turning, facing, boring, and back turning operations in production and job-shop environments. The primary target workpiece material is steel, with secondary capability on stainless steel and cast iron. Material grades P10, P20, P30, and P35 are covered, making it appropriate for light roughing through medium finishing passes. The M3 chip breaker geometry helps manage chip control across these material categories. Typical applications include shaft turning, shoulder facing, and internal boring passes on conventional and live-tooling setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCVD Duratomic multilayer coating (TiCN, Al2O3, Cr) for extended tool life on steel and stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTriangular insert shape with 60-degree included angle and 3 usable cutting edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3 chip breaker geometry supports turning, facing, boring, and back turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake geometry with chamfered and honed cutting edge style reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew-clamp insert holding method provides rigid, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code TCMT16T308-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in screw-clamp TCMT-style toolholders accepting a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle triangular insert.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torque screwdriver or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the clamping screw — do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before seating a new insert, and confirm the insert is fully seated before resuming cutting operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: TCMT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: TCMT-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: TCMT32.52-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: TCMT16T308-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: TP2501\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 (CVD Duratomic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Triangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 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\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inch (0.0315 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\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6496 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1772 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5709 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\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\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel, Cast Iron\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: Back Turning, 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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 per package (minimum order quantity: 10)\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: 02960433\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51564308594994,"sku":"02960433","price":298.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bc1e1d4edc530741d0f26854d2f9d1b6_c275279c-815e-4738-9457-492b77bcfc9f.jpg?v=1786517023","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02960433-turning-insert-tcmt32-52-m3-tp2501-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
