It is manufactured from solid carbide and features a multilayer CVD coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr, placing it in the TP25 grade classification. The insert carries a 35-degree diamond shape with a neutral hand orientation and a chamfered and honed cutting edge style. It delivers four usable cutting edges per insert, making it an efficient choice for production environments focused on steel and stainless steel applications. The M3 chip breaker geometry and negative rake angle help control chip flow during interrupted and continuous cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for turning, facing, back turning, and profiling operations on steel, stainless steel, and cast iron workpieces. It corresponds to ISO material grades P20, P30, and P35, making it appropriate for medium to rough cutting conditions in both light production and job shop environments. The VNMG series is commonly used in toolholders that accept clamp, pin, or lever lock holding methods. This insert follows ANSI and ISO standards and carries the ISO designation VNMG160404-M3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate with multilayer CVD coating: TiCN, Al2O3, and Cr for wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTP25 grade — suited for steel, stainless steel, and cast iron at medium to heavy depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3 chip breaker geometry controls chip evacuation during facing, profiling, and turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour cutting edges per insert reduce per-edge tooling cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChamfered and honed cutting edge improves edge stability and reduces built-up edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with clamp, pin, and lever lock toolholder holding methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation fits standard VNMG-series right-hand and left-hand toolholders as configured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in VNMG-series toolholders accepting clamp, pin, or lever lock insert retention.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or indexing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp screw as specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not over-torque the clamping mechanism, as this can fracture the insert. Inspect the toolholder pocket and seating surface for chips or wear before installing a fresh cutting edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: VNMG331-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VNMG160404-M3\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\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: TP25\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 (Multilayer 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\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: N\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 degrees\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\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 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\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1874 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.615 inches\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\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp, Pin, Lever Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel (ISO Code P)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel (ISO Code M), Cast Iron (ISO Code K)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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\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\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\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\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: 03276726\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562735305010,"sku":"03276726","price":54.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b6631cdbc758240fb38b65035981122f.jpg?v=1786483501","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-03276726-vnmg331-m3-tp25-turning-insert-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
