About Mitsubishi grade naming (CCMT): Mitsubishi uses a 6-character grade code for CVD/PVD, where: U = Mitsubishi "Miracle Coat" family prefix. Second letter identifies the coating type: S = steel-grade CVD, E = universal P-grade, C = cast iron K-grade CVD, P = PVD Al-rich (Miracle Coat). Numbers 7xxx = first gen, 5xxx = new generation, 6xxx = heavy-tough. So US7020 = universal + steel + first gen + version 020 (workhorse); VP15TF = PVD + aluminum-rich + Miracle Coat, version 15 + TF (tough-finishing); UC5115 = universal + cast iron + new gen + version 115 (workhorse). For uncoated grades (HTI10, UTI20T, AP25N), the T-suffix indicates cermet-grade sharp edge.

How to Choose a Mitsubishi 80° Diamond Insert
Step 1: Match the geometry to the operation. For 80% of steel turning applications, choose CCMT (80° rhombic, with hole, positive 7°). For cast iron heavy roughing, choose CCMW (flat top, no chip-breaker, regrindable). For aluminum, choose CCGH (lapped, polished). For precision finishing on small parts, choose CCGT (cermet).
Step 2: Match the grade to the workpiece material. Steel → UE6110 (workhorse) or NX2525 (cermet mirror finish). Stainless → US735 (CVD) or VP15TF (PVD Miracle Coat). Cast iron → UC5115 (universal) or MC6015 (ceramic-reinforced). Aluminum → UTI20T (uncoated) or HTI10 (cermet-grade). High-temp alloys (Inconel, titanium) → VP15TF (PVD Al-rich).
Step 3: Match the chip-breaker to feed and depth of cut. Precision finishing (0.03-0.10 mm/rev) → FV. Finishing (0.05-0.12) → FM. Semi-finishing (0.05-0.15) → SV. General purpose (0.10-0.20) → MV. Profiling (0.05-0.15) → LP. Use the table above to find the right combination.
Step 4: Match the insert to the tool holder. Mitsubishi CCMT fits industry-standard PCLNR/L, DCLNR/L, MCLNR/L, MWLNR/L tool holders. CNCHome-Beyond carries compatible aftermarket holders at 30-50% below OEM — see our turning tool holder guide and Insert Holder Selector.
Compatible Tool Holders (Standard Positive 7° Rake)
Mitsubishi CCMT inserts fit the following CNCHome-Beyond tool holder families (all ISO 5610 standard, drop-in compatible with Mitsubishi OEM holders):
- Double-Clamp External Holders (PCLNR/L, DCLNR/L) — for heavy CCMT roughing
- Multi-Lock External Holders (MCLNR/L, MWLNR/L) — for general CCMT medium cutting
- Lever-Lock (P-Type) External Holders — for quick-change high-mix production
- Screw-Clamp Boring Bars (S...PCLNR/L, S...MCLNR/L) — for internal turning with positive inserts

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between US7020 and VP15TF grades in Mitsubishi turning?
US7020 is a CVD-coated grade (TiCN + Al2O3) optimized for steel turning. The thick coating resists wear on the cutting edge during long steel cuts. VP15TF is a PVD-coated grade (Al-rich TiAlN, marketed as "Miracle Coat") optimized for universal applications including stainless steel and high-temperature alloys. The thin PVD coating keeps the edge sharp for low cutting force. Use US7020 for steel; use VP15TF for stainless, high-temp alloys, or mixed-material work. US735 is the heavy-tough variant of US7020 for steel roughing.
What is the difference between NX2525 and AP25N grades in Mitsubishi?
Both are Mitsubishi's high-precision grades, but optimized differently. NX2525 is a CVD second-generation steel grade with thick Al2O3 coating (improved version of US7020 with 30% longer tool life). AP25N is a cermet grade (ceramic + metal composite) used for mirror-finish turning at high speeds. Cermet can run 30-50% faster than carbide but is more brittle. Use NX2525 for general steel high-precision; use AP25N for steel mirror finishing (Ra < 0.4 μm) and high-speed steel finishing.
What is the equivalent of Mitsubishi CCMT 120408-MV VP15TF in other brands?
Mitsubishi CCMT 120408-MV VP15TF is the industry-standard positive turning insert (12.7mm IC, 0.8mm nose, 80° rhombic, MV medium chip-breaker, VP15TF PVD Miracle Coat universal grade). Direct equivalents: Sandvik CCMT 120408-PM GC4325, Kennametal CCMT 120408-HM KC7315, Iscar CCMT 120408-PM IC8150, Kyocera CCMT 120408HQ CA6525, ZCC·CT CCMT120408-MV YBG202. All are dimensionally interchangeable on the same external turning tool holder. For grade cross-reference, see our Insert Grade Cross-Reference Tool.
What is the difference between Mitsubishi CCMT and CCMW inserts?
CCMT has a precision chip-breaker groove on one side (and a flat land on the other) for general purpose turning. The chip-breaker controls chip evacuation for stable cutting. CCMW has a flat top on both sides (no chip-breaker groove). CCMW is used for the heaviest roughing operations on cast iron where chip-breaker corners might chip. CCMW is also regrindable on the periphery for maximum economy. Use CCMT for 90% of turning; use CCMW for the toughest 10% on cast iron heavy roughing.
What is the "Miracle Coat" coating on Mitsubishi VP series?
"Miracle Coat" is Mitsubishi's marketing name for their PVD (Al-rich TiAlN) coating family. The "Al-rich" composition means the coating contains more aluminum than standard TiAlN, which creates a thin, very hard, oxidation-resistant layer. The benefit is exceptional wear resistance at high cutting temperatures (up to 1100°C oxidation limit) — ideal for high-temp alloys like Inconel, titanium, and Waspaloy. The thin PVD coating (3-5 μm) keeps the cutting edge sharp for low thrust force, while standard CVD coatings (8-15 μm) round the edge. VP15TF is the most popular Miracle Coat grade for universal applications.
What is the minimum order quantity for Mitsubishi turning inserts?
Sample orders start at 1 piece for grade validation. Standard production orders are 10-50 pieces per item. Bulk pricing tiers: 2-9 pieces 6% off, 10+ pieces 12% off (auto-applied at checkout). For custom geometries, chip-breakers, or grades not in our standard catalog, MOQ is 200 pieces with 6-8 week lead time from Mitsubishi Japan. See our warranty and return policy for details on grade validation samples.
