Cermet Milling Technology
NX2525 Grade (Titanium-Based Cermet): NX2525 is a state-of-the-art Cermet grade. In milling, heat is the enemy. Cermet's high thermal stability and low chemical affinity for steel prevent Built-Up Edge (BUE). This allows for significantly higher cutting speeds compared to carbide and produces a "jewel-like" finish on the side walls and floor of your mill-path.
H2 Chipbreaker (Milling Stability): The H2 geometry is a "Strong-Finishing" breaker. While finishing requires sharpness, milling involves constant impact. The H2 design reinforces the cutting edge to prevent micro-chipping while maintaining a positive rake angle for smooth, low-noise cutting.
Metric vs. Imperial Comparison
| System | Model Designation | Width (mm/inch) | Thickness | Radius |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metric | APMT1604PDER-H2 | 9.3 mm | 4.76 mm | R0.8 |
| Imperial | APMT332-H2 | 0.366" | 3/16" | 1/32" |
Recommended Milling Parameters
*Dry milling is strongly recommended for Cermet to avoid thermal cracking. Increase speed for better surface finish.
| Material Group | Speed (Vc) | Feed (fz) | Max Ap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon Steels | 200 - 400 m/min | 0.10 - 0.20 mm/t | 1.5 mm |
| Alloy Steels | 150 - 300 m/min | 0.08 - 0.15 mm/t | 1.0 mm |

Shop BAP400R CuttersPro-Tip: NX2525 Cermet vs. VP15TF Carbide
NX2525 (Cermet): Use for high-speed finishing passes. It produces the best surface finish but requires stable setups.
VP15TF (PVD Carbide): Use for roughing and general milling. Carbide is much tougher and can handle heavy depths of cut and shock better than Cermet.
