CCGT03S104L-F VP15TF
Swiss-Lathe Miniature Specialist | Miracle PVD Coating | 0.4mm Radius
Technical Breakdown
VP15TF Grade (Miracle PVD Carbide): This grade combines a specialized micro-grain carbide substrate with Mitsubishi's proprietary Al-Ti-N Miracle PVD Coating. It provides a unique balance of high hardness and extreme ductile toughness. Unlike brittle cermets, VP15TF is designed to handle vibration, interrupted cuts, and gummy materials like 304/316 Stainless Steel without premature edge chipping.
L-F Chipbreaker (Left-Hand Finishing): A precision-ground, positive rake geometry. The "F" series is engineered for Ultra-Light Finishing. The 0.4mm (0.0157") radius is specifically selected to increase edge strength, allowing for a broader range of feed rates while maintaining a superior surface finish in internal boring and external turning.
Model & Dimensional Comparison
| Unit System | Model Designation | I.C. (Inscribed Circle) | Thickness | Radius (RE) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metric | CCGT03S104L-F | 3.97 mm | 1.98 mm | 0.40 mm |
| Imperial | CCGT1.21.21L-F | 0.156" (5/32") | 0.078" (5/64") | 0.0157" (1/64") |
Recommended Cutting Parameters
*The 0.4mm radius allows for increased feed rates (fn) compared to 0.2mm models. Best results in stainless are achieved with high-pressure coolant.
| Workpiece Material | Speed (Vc) | Feed (fn) | Depth (Ap) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel (300/400) | 70 - 150 m/min | 0.04 - 0.12 mm/r | 0.05 - 0.60 mm |
| Alloy Steel / Tool Steel | 90 - 200 m/min | 0.05 - 0.15 mm/r | 0.10 - 0.70 mm |
| Titanium Alloys | 35 - 70 m/min | 0.03 - 0.08 mm/r | 0.05 - 0.40 mm |

VP15TF (PVD Carbide): This is your "Safety First" grade. Use it for stainless steels, interrupted cuts, or when your Swiss lathe setup lacks perfect rigidity. It resists chipping far better than cermet.
NX2525 (Cermet): Only switch to cermet for Continuous Finishing on steel when a mirror finish is required. If your part is interrupted or made of 316 Stainless, stay with VP15TF to avoid sudden edge failure.

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.
