QOMT1342R-M2 VP15TF
Mitsubishi Materials | AQX Series Multifunctional Milling Insert
The Mitsubishi QOMT1342R-M2 VP15TF is a robust indexable milling insert designed for the high-versatility AQX multifunctional cutter series. This "13" size insert is the heavy-duty professional choice for CNC milling operations including ramping, pocketing, and deep shoulder milling. Featuring the -M2 medium-duty chipbreaker and the proprietary VP15TF Miracle PVD coating, it is engineered for machining stainless steel, carbon steels, and alloy steels under challenging conditions.
Technical Specifications
| ISO/Metric Designation | QOMT1342R-M2 |
|---|---|
| ANSI Equivalent | QOMT 4342 R-M2 |
| Grade / Coating | VP15TF (Miracle Al-Ti-N PVD) |

VP15TF Miracle Grade
The VP15TF grade combines a high-toughness micro-grain carbide substrate with Mitsubishi's Miracle (Al-Ti-N) PVD coating. This grade provides industry-leading thermal stability, which is vital for milling gummy materials like 304/316 stainless steel. It effectively prevents built-up edge (BUE) and ensures long-lasting edge sharpness in dry or wet machining.
-M2 Chipbreaker Logic
The -M2 medium-duty chipbreaker is designed for versatility. It provides a balanced geometry that reduces cutting resistance while maintaining a reinforced edge to withstand impact during high-feed milling. This ensures a consistent thread surface finish and high dimensional accuracy in 3D pocketing and ramping operations.

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.
