DCMT11T308 VP15TF
Miracle PVD Technology | High-Strength Universal Grade | 0.8mm Radius
Engineered for Tough Multi-Material Cutting
VP15TF Grade (The Miracle PVD): The VP15TF is Mitsubishi’s premier PVD-coated micro-grain carbide. The "Miracle Coating" (Al-Ti-N) offers superior oxidation resistance and high-temperature hardness. Because PVD is thinner and more uniform than CVD, the cutting edge remains exceptionally sharp, significantly reducing "Built-Up Edge" (BUE) in gummy materials like 300-series Stainless Steel.
DCMT Geometry (Positive Chipbreaker): The 55-degree diamond shape with a 7-degree relief angle is the industry standard for profiling and medium turning. Its positive rake design shears the material cleanly, reducing radial forces and power consumption.
0.8mm Radius (The Rugged Edge): The "08" (1/32") nose radius provides maximum edge strength. It is the preferred choice for semi-roughing as it can withstand higher feed rates and resists chipping on parts with surface scale or minor interruptions.
Metric vs. Imperial Comparison
| System | Model Designation | I.C. (Inscribed Circle) | Thickness | Radius (RE) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metric | DCMT11T308 | 9.525 mm | 3.97 mm | 0.80 mm |
| Imperial | DCMT32.52 | 3/8" | 5/32" | 0.0315" (1/32") |
Recommended Machining Parameters
*VP15TF thrives in medium speeds. Use 0.8mm radius for higher feed applications.
| Workpiece Material | Speed (Vc) | Feed (fn) | Depth (Ap) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel (304/316) | 80 - 160 m/min | 0.12 - 0.35 mm/r | 0.50 - 2.50 mm |
| Alloy Steel (4140) | 120 - 240 m/min | 0.15 - 0.40 mm/r | 0.50 - 3.00 mm |

VP15TF (PVD All-Rounder): Best for small batches, stainless steel, and when you need a sharp edge to prevent work hardening.
UE6020 (CVD Steel Specialist): If you are running only Carbon Steel in high volumes, the UE6020 will offer longer tool life at higher speeds than the VP15TF.

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.
