The insert features a negative rake geometry, a 0-degree relief angle (clearance code N), and a chamfered and honed cutting edge style. With 6 usable cutting edges and a 5\/8-inch (0.6250-inch) inscribed circle, it delivers consistent tool life in high-volume turning operations. The M5 chip breaker geometry is optimized for medium-depth cuts in steel and cast iron. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments rely on this insert for back turning, boring, facing, and general OD turning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is designed for primary use on steel workpieces (ISO material code P, material grades P10 and P20) and is also rated for secondary applications on cast iron and hard materials (ISO codes K and H). Typical applications include medium to roughing turning passes on lathes equipped with TNMG-style toolholders using clamp, pin, or lever-lock insert retention. The maximum depth of cut reaches 0.9291 inches, making it suitable for aggressive material removal as well as finish passes. It is well suited to production shops running CNC turning centers where consistent insert geometry and repeatable edge performance are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCVD Duratomic coating (TiCN, Al2O3, Cr) for extended wear resistance on steel and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 cutting edges per insert for reduced per-edge tooling cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM5 chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation in medium-cut applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChamfered and honed cutting edge for improved edge stability and reduced notch wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with clamp, pin, and lever-lock TNMG toolholder systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to ANSI and ISO insert standards; ISO code TNMG270616-M5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for TNMG-style toolholders accepting a 544 insert size with a 0.2500-inch hole diameter and lever-lock, clamp, or pin retention.
