VP15TF Miracle Grade
The VP15TF grade is a flagship PVD coated carbide from Mitsubishi Materials. It features a unique (Al,Ti)N coating that offers high oxidation resistance and superior bonding to the carbide substrate. This allows for reliable machining of stainless steel and carbon steel even in interrupted cuts, significantly extending tool life compared to conventional PVD grades.
JS Profiling Chipbreaker
The JS chipbreaker is a 3D sharp-edged geometry optimized for indexable milling. By creating a lower cutting resistance, the JS design prevents vibration (chatter) and reduces heat generation at the cutting edge. This is critical for 3D profiling where the depth of cut varies, ensuring a consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
