CCGT03S102L-F VP15TF
Miniature Finishing Specialist | Miracle PVD Coating | Swiss-Lathe Grade
Technical Breakdown
VP15TF Grade (Miracle PVD Carbide): This grade features a high-toughness micro-grain carbide substrate coated with a proprietary Al-Ti-N Miracle Coating. Unlike brittle cermets, VP15TF is designed to handle interrupted cuts and prevents thermal cracking. It is the gold standard for machining Stainless Steel, Alloy Steel, and Super Alloys where edge security is paramount.
L-F Chipbreaker (Left-Hand Finishing): A precision-ground, sharp-edge geometry optimized for Ultra-Light Depths of Cut. The "F" series design ensures that even at miniature scales, chips are broken and evacuated efficiently, preventing "bird-nesting" and protecting the high-quality surface finish of your workpiece.

Recommended Cutting Parameters
*VP15TF is highly resistant to built-up edge. Use with consistent coolant flow for best results in Stainless Steel.
| Workpiece Material | Speed (Vc) | Feed (fn) | Depth (Ap) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel (304/316) | 60 - 130 m/min | 0.02 - 0.08 mm/r | 0.05 - 0.50 mm |
| Alloy Steel (4140/8620) | 80 - 180 m/min | 0.03 - 0.10 mm/r | 0.10 - 0.60 mm |
| Titanium / Super Alloys | 30 - 60 m/min | 0.02 - 0.06 mm/r | 0.05 - 0.30 mm |

Shop Small-Series HoldersPro-Tip: VP15TF vs NX2525
VP15TF (PVD Carbide): Your most versatile choice. Use this for interrupted cuts, stainless steel, and when the setup isn't 100% rigid. It is significantly tougher than cermet.
NX2525 (Cermet): Switch to cermet only for continuous finishing in steel to achieve a mirror finish. Cermet will chip if used in heavy interrupted cuts or gummy alloys where VP15TF excels.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.
We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:
- For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
- For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.
The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:
- For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
- For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.
