DCMT070204 VP15TF
Miracle PVD Coating | Multi-Material Specialist | 55° Precision Profile
The "Miracle" Grade for Mixed-Material Shops
VP15TF Grade (PVD Miracle Coating): The VP15TF is Mitsubishi’s most versatile PVD-coated grade. It features the "Miracle" coating—a high-adhesion Al-Ti-N layer that provides extreme oxidation resistance. Unlike thick CVD coatings, this PVD layer is thin and uniform, keeping the cutting edge ultra-sharp. It is the gold standard for machining Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, and Tough Alloys (M10-M30, P10-P30, S10-S25).
DCMT Geometry (Precision Profiling): The 55-degree diamond shape with a 7-degree relief angle is the ultimate geometry for internal boring and external profiling. The positive rake design reduces cutting forces, making it perfect for small-diameter parts or light-duty CNC lathes.
0.4mm Radius (The Finisher): The "04" radius is designed for precision. It provides excellent surface finishes and maintains dimensional accuracy by minimizing radial pressure, which effectively eliminates chatter in slender workpieces.

Recommended Cutting Parameters
*VP15TF is designed for versatility. Use coolant when machining stainless for maximum tool life.
| Workpiece Material | Speed (Vc) | Feed (fn) | Depth (Ap) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel (304/316) | 80 - 180 m/min | 0.05 - 0.15 mm/r | 0.20 - 1.20 mm |
| Carbon/Alloy Steel | 120 - 250 m/min | 0.05 - 0.20 mm/r | 0.20 - 1.50 mm |

Shop 07 Series HoldersPro-Tip: VP15TF vs. UE6020
VP15TF (PVD Generalist): Your first choice for Stainless Steel or mixed batches. It stays sharper and prevents welding of gummy materials.
UE6020 (CVD Specialist): If you are turning Carbon Steel only in high volumes, switch to UE6020. The CVD coating will provide better tool life at higher speeds in steel.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
When choosing CNC cutting tools, check the full model code, dimensions, grade and selected variant before ordering. Do not rely on the product image alone.
For carbide inserts, tool holders, drills and end mills, compare the mounting dimensions, connection type and manufacturer's specifications with your holder or machine. If you are unsure, share your existing part number and machining application with us before ordering.
Check the product listing for the selling unit, pack quantity and included components. If it is unclear whether the price is per piece or per pack, or whether a tool body and inserts are sold separately, contact us before purchasing.
Select cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using the relevant manufacturer's recommendations for your tool model, workpiece material, machine conditions and coolant method. The same settings are not suitable for every product or application.
