It carries the industry standard designation VBMT331-M3 and is manufactured to both ANSI and ISO standards. The insert features a 35-degree diamond shape with a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1\/64-inch corner radius. The CVD-applied Duratomic multilayer coating — TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr — provides wear resistance and thermal stability during continuous or interrupted cuts. Two cutting edges are available per insert, and the M3 chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation across a range of feed rates and depths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for turning, facing, back turning, and profiling operations. It is rated for primary use on steel workpieces and carries P10, P20, P30, and P35 material grade designations. Secondary workpiece materials include stainless steel and cast iron. The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with standard right-hand toolholders configured for VBMT-style inserts. A screw-clamping holding method is used, and the positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces, which is an advantage when machining harder steels or thin-walled components. This insert is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35-degree diamond insert shape with a 1\/64-inch corner radius for profiling and contour work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCVD Duratomic multilayer coating (TiCN, Al2O3, Cr) for extended tool life on steel and stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM3 chip breaker geometry supports turning, facing, back turning, and profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake and chamfered-and-honed cutting edge reduce cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo cutting edges per insert; screw-held, neutral hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code VBMT160404-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for VBMT-style screw-clamp toolholders accepting a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle, 3\/16-inch thick diamond insert.

Before indexing or replacing an insert, confirm the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out per shop lockout-tagout procedures. Seat the insert firmly against the toolholder pocket locating surfaces before tightening the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque. Inspect the insert seat and clamping components for chips or debris that could prevent proper seating and cause premature edge failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: VBMT331-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VBMT160404-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: TP2501\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diamond 35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/64 inches (0.0157 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches (0.1874 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3078 inches\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: 0.6142 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 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\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\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\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 (P)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel (M), Cast Iron (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\u003eMulti-Use Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Back Turning, Facing, Profiling, 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: 0.02 pounds\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 02960917\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559081836850,"sku":"02960917","price":326.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/146773cfb9c01d347d5dea98e2fddb64.jpg?v=1786426908","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02960917-turning-insert-vbmt331-m3-tp2501-diamond-35","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
