Material Grade: UE6110 (The Steel Master)
The UE6110 grade is a CVD coated carbide designed for a broad range of steel turning. Its multi-layer coating provides high resistance against flank wear and cratering. It is optimized for P-class materials, offering incredible tool life in stable environments where high cutting speeds are required.
Geometry & Chipbreaker
The WCMT geometry is a positive rake design that lowers cutting resistance. This helps in maintaining part accuracy and achieving a superior surface finish. It is excellent for clearing chips efficiently during high-precision CNC machining of standard steels.
Recommended Cutting Parameters
Optimized for P10-P25 steel machining:
- Cutting Speed (Vc): 180 - 320 m/min (590 - 1050 SFM)
- Feed Rate (f): 0.08 - 0.20 mm/rev (0.003 - 0.008 ipr)
- Depth of Cut (ap): 0.3 - 2.0 mm
*Note: Ensure rigid clamping to take full advantage of the UE6110's high-speed capabilities.

Questions & Answers
Q: Is WCMT020104 UE6110 suitable for stainless steel?
A: While it can cut stainless, UE6110 is specifically optimized for Steel (P-class). For better results in stainless steel, we recommend the US735 or MC7025 grades.
Q: What kind of chip control should I expect?
A: The WCMT geometry provides excellent chip breaking at medium-to-light depths of cut, ensuring safety for both the machine and the operator.
Q: Does this fit my small boring bar?
A: Yes, this 02-size insert is commonly used in small diameter internal boring bars (e.g., 6mm or 8mm shanks).
Material Comparison Tip: UE6110 vs. UE6020
Choose UE6110 when your primary goal is high-speed wear resistance in stable steel turning. If your application involves heavy interruptions or unstable setups, consider UE6020 for its higher fracture toughness.
