MMT16IR150ISO-S VP15TF
Mitsubishi Materials | Internal ISO Metric Threading | 1.5mm Pitch
The Mitsubishi MMT16IR150ISO-S VP15TF is a high-performance internal threading insert engineered for 1.5mm pitch ISO metric threads. Designed for the high-rigidity MMTIR boring bar series, this insert features the advanced -S type 3D molded chipbreaker. This geometry is specialized for internal CNC threading where chip space is limited, ensuring chips are curled and broken to prevent damage to the internal bore. Coated with the legendary VP15TF Miracle PVD coating, it is the premier choice for threading stainless steel, alloy steels, and general carbon steels.

VP15TF Miracle Grade
The VP15TF grade utilizes a micro-grain carbide substrate paired with Mitsubishi’s proprietary Miracle (Al-Ti-N) PVD coating. It provides exceptional fracture resistance and prevents built-up edge (BUE). This universal grade is the industry standard for indexable threading where versatility and high-speed stability are required across various workpieces.
-S Type (3D) Chipbreaker
The -S molded chipbreaker is specifically engineered for internal operations. In CNC threading, chips often "nest" inside the bore. The 3D rake angle forces the chip to curl tightly and break, allowing for smooth evacuation via high-pressure coolant from the boring bar, ensuring a perfect surface finish.

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.
