Recommended Cutting Parameters
Optimized for CNC Lathe operations in stainless and alloy steels:
- Cutting Speed (Vc): 100 - 180 m/min (330 - 590 SFM)
- Feed Rate (f): 0.10 - 0.25 mm/rev (0.004 - 0.010 ipr)
- Depth of Cut (ap): 0.5 - 2.5 mm
*Note: Use high-pressure coolant for best results in gummy stainless steel.
Grade & Coating: US735 CVD Specialist
The US735 grade is a dedicated CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) coated carbide designed to combat the intense heat generated during medium turning of stainless steel. The multi-layer coating acts as a thermal barrier, protecting the sub-micron substrate from edge deformation and crater wear.
Optimized Chipbreaker Geometry
With its positive rake angle, the WCMT geometry significantly reduces cutting resistance and vibration. The 0.4mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and surface finish, preventing work hardening of the material surface during precision CNC machining.

Questions & Answers
Expert Tip: Carbide Grade Selection
For the best CNC productivity, pair the WCMT06T304 with rigid machine setups. If you are experiencing vibration, reduce the feed rate slightly before lowering the cutting speed to maintain the CVD coating's thermal efficiency.
