It features a 35-degree diamond shape (Insert Shape Code V) with a neutral hand orientation and a chamfered and honed cutting edge style. The inscribed circle measures 0.375 inches, and the corner radius is 0.0157 inches (1\/64 inch). With 2 cutting edges per insert and an M3 chip breaker geometry, this insert is designed for productive material removal rates across a range of turning applications. It is held in place via a screw-clamp toolholder and carries Tolerance Code M and Clearance Code B per ANSI and ISO standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for steel as its primary workpiece material (ISO material code P, grades P10 and P20), with secondary suitability for cast iron (code K) and hard materials (code H). Typical applications include back turning, facing, profiling, and general turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers in both production-floor and job-shop environments. The maximum depth of cut reaches 0.6142 inches, making it capable of both roughing and semi-finishing passes depending on feed and speed selection. The Duratomic coating classification is engineered for wear resistance and thermal stability in continuous and interrupted steel-cutting scenarios. Installation is sold in minimum order quantities of 10, with individual package quantity of 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCVD Duratomic multi-layer coating (TiCN, Al2O3, Cr) for extended tool life in steel cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e35-degree diamond shape with chamfered and honed cutting edge for controlled entry and edge security\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3 chip breaker geometry suitable for back turning, facing, profiling, and turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake geometry reduces cutting forces and heat generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 usable cutting edges per insert for cost-efficient indexing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code VBMT160404-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in screw-clamp toolholders accepting VBMT-style inserts with a 0.1772-inch hole diameter.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe indexed position before indexing or replacing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating a new insert. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended clamping torque for the insert screw size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: VBMT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VBMT-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VBMT160404-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: VBMT331-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: TP1501\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diamond 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 degrees\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\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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN, Al2O3, Cr\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: CVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Classification\u003c\/strong\u003e: Duratomic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0157 inches (1\/64 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1874 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3078 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 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: 0.6142 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel (P10, P20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Hard Material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Use Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Back Turning, Facing, Profiling, 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\u003eSingle or Multi Tipped\u003c\/strong\u003e: Multi Tipped\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: 0.02 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: 02960907\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51564176867634,"sku":"02960907","price":327.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/146773cfb9c01d347d5dea98e2fddb64_19ece0cd-39b1-4217-a7dd-a219eddc23a7.jpg?v=1786513365","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02960907-vbmt331-m3-tp1501-turning-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
