MITSUBISHI WCMT040204 US735
Advanced CVD Coated Grade | The Stainless Steel Specialist
Product Overview
The Mitsubishi WCMT040204 US735 is a high-performance, 80° trigon positive turning insert designed specifically for stainless steel machining. Engineered with a specialized CVD coating, the US735 grade offers superior resistance to thermal cracking and adhesive wear. Whether you are performing continuous cutting or interrupted turns, these inserts deliver stable tool life and an excellent surface finish on austenitic, ferritic, and martensitic stainless steels.

Recommended Cutting Parameters
Optimized for medium-duty turning in stainless steel:
- Cutting Speed (Vc): 90 - 160 m/min (295 - 525 SFM)
- Feed Rate (f): 0.08 - 0.20 mm/rev (0.003 - 0.008 ipr)
- Depth of Cut (ap): 0.5 - 2.0 mm
*For hardened alloys, reduce Vc by 20% to maximize tool life.
Grade: US735 CVD Nano-Coating
The US735 carbide grade is Mitsubishi's premier solution for difficult-to-cut materials. By utilizing a thick CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) coating, these inserts provide an excellent barrier against high cutting temperatures, preventing the edge deformation common in CNC turning centers.
Chipbreaker Performance
The WCMT geometry combined with the 0.4mm radius ensures smooth chip evacuation. It is specifically designed to handle the gummy nature of stainless steel, preventing long "stringy" chips that can scratch your workpiece or damage the tool holder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I use WCMT040204 for roughing?
A: While US735 is a tough grade, the 040204 size is best suited for finishing to medium-duty turning. For heavy roughing, we recommend an insert with a larger corner radius and thicker cross-section.
Q2: What is the benefit of the CVD coating?
A: CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) coatings are thicker and more heat-resistant than PVD, making US735 ideal for high-speed stainless steel turning where heat buildup is the primary cause of tool failure.
Q3: Is this insert compatible with boring bars?
A: Yes, it fits any SWLCR or SWGCR holder designed for 04-size trigon inserts.
Pro-Tip: US735 vs. VP15TF
Choose US735 for high-productivity environments where heat resistance is key. If you are doing precision miniature turning with very low cutting speeds, you might consider our VP15TF grade, but for standard industrial stainless steel turning, US735 remains the champion.

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.
