Designated grade TP2501, this insert features a 35-degree diamond shape, a 3\/8 inch inscribed circle, and a 1\/32 inch corner radius. It carries a neutral hand orientation and a positive rake geometry with a chamfered and honed cutting edge. With 2 cutting edges per insert and an M3 chip breaker, it is engineered for productive material removal in steel and stainless steel turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Installation and setup are performed by qualified machining professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for external and internal turning applications including back turning, facing, profiling, and general turning on ferrous workpieces. Its primary workpiece material designation is steel (ISO P), with secondary ratings for stainless steel (ISO M) and cast iron (ISO K). The insert is compatible with screw-lock VBMT-style toolholders. Material grades P10, P20, P30, and P35 are covered, making it a practical choice for a broad range of steel alloy conditions encountered in production and job-shop environments.\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 wear resistance in steel cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e35-degree diamond insert shape with 1\/32 inch corner radius for access in profiling and contour work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3 chip breaker geometry supports turning, facing, back turning, and profiling in a single insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake with chamfered and honed cutting edge reduces cutting forces and improves edge stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 usable cutting edges per insert; screw-mounted holding method for secure clamping and repeatable indexing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code VBMT160408-M3; industry standard number VBMT332-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in screw-lock VBMT-style toolholders accepting a 332 insert size.
