It carries the TP2501 manufacturer grade and uses a CVD-applied Duratomic multilayer coating — TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr — engineered to resist heat and wear during continuous and interrupted cuts in steel and stainless steel. The insert features an SNMG432-M5 industry-standard designation with an M5 chip breaker geometry, a chamfered and honed cutting edge, and a 0.5 inch inscribed circle. With 8 usable cutting edges per insert, it delivers a low per-edge cost over its service life. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install and index this insert at the machine tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert targets medium-duty turning, boring, and facing operations primarily in steel (ISO P10, P20, P30, P35) and secondarily in stainless steel and cast iron (ISO M and K material groups). The negative rake, 90-degree square geometry and neutral hand orientation suit a wide range of toolholder setups. It is designed for clamp, pin, and lever-lock holding methods, making it compatible with many standard SNMG-style toolholders. The M5 chip breaker geometry handles a range of depths of cut and feeds typical of roughing to semi-finishing passes on steel workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCVD Duratomic multilayer coating: TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr for extended tool life in steel cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 cutting edges per insert for maximum value per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM5 chip breaker with chamfered and honed edge — suitable for boring, facing, and turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNegative rake, 90-degree square geometry with neutral hand orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with clamp, pin, and lever-lock SNMG toolholder styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ISO dimensional standards; ISO code SNMG120408-M5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in SNMG-style toolholders that accept clamp, pin, or lever-lock insert retention.

Use the appropriate torque wrench and seating screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten the clamp screw, as this can fracture carbide. Inspect the toolholder pocket and seating surfaces for chips or damage before seating a new insert. Confirm correct insert orientation and chip breaker direction before resuming the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SNMG432-M5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: SNMG120408-M5\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: 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: Square (90-degree included angle)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1874 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0315 inches (1\/32 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2028 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4685 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: M5\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\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 (ISO P)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel (ISO M), Cast Iron (ISO 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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: SNMG-M5\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\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 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: 02960568\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563583013170,"sku":"02960568","price":305.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/758b93caeb824f1a9cd8c6386528508f.jpg?v=1786499425","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02960568-turning-insert-snmg432-m5-tp2501-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
