It carries a CVD-applied Duratomic multilayer coating — TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr — engineered to extend tool life during continuous and interrupted cuts. The insert features a 55-degree diamond shape, a 0.3750-inch inscribed circle, and a 0.0315-inch corner radius, with a chamfered and honed cutting edge style for controlled chip formation. It is a neutral-hand, multi-tipped insert with two usable cutting edges per piece. Licensed machinists, CNC operators, and toolroom technicians specify this insert for production turning of steel and cast iron components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for medium-duty turning applications including back turning, boring, facing, and general OD turning on steel and cast iron workpieces. The M3 chip breaker geometry handles a broad range of depths and feeds, making it appropriate for both roughing passes and intermediate finishing in production environments. Material grades P10 and P20 position it squarely in ISO P-class applications on low- to medium-carbon steels, with secondary suitability for K-class cast iron and H-class hard materials. It is held in place by a screw-clamp toolholder sized to the DCMT pocket standard.\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 in steel turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e55-degree diamond insert shape with 0.0315-inch corner radius for versatile entry angles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3 chip breaker supports back turning, boring, facing, and turning in a single insert geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo cutting edges per insert (multi-tipped) for improved cost-per-edge value\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake and chamfered-and-honed edge prep reduce cutting forces on light-to-medium cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code DCMT11T308-M3 for cross-reference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for screw-clamp DCMT-style toolholders accepting a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle insert. Compatible with ISO and ANSI DCMT-pocket boring bars and external turning holders. Primary workpiece material is steel (ISO P-class, grades P10 and P20); secondary workpiece materials are cast iron (K-class) and hard materials (H-class).

Use the manufacturer-specified torque wrench and clamp screw for the toolholder to ensure proper seating — do not overtighten by feel alone. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for debris or wear before indexing to a fresh cutting edge. Handle carbide inserts carefully; edges are brittle and can chip if dropped or contacted with hard surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCMT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCMT-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diamond 55 (Shape Code D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: TP1501\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: P10, P20\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: M3\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 Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\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: 0.3750 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.9134 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1563 inches (5\/32 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0315 inches (1\/32 inch)\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: 0.3661 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel (ISO P-class)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron (K-class), Hard Material (H-class)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCMT11T308-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCMT32.52-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Use Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e: Back Turning, Boring, Facing, Turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWiper Edge\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\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: 02960906\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557793333554,"sku":"02960906","price":234.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4809e2f43ad8ca6bca3f149d28828a7b.jpg?v=1786395436","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02960906-turning-insert-dcmt32-52-m3-tp1501-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
