Grade & Geometry Deep Dive
Grade 4425: Specifically engineered for steel turning, this grade offers superior thermal protection and crater wear resistance. It's the industry standard for stable and predictable performance in large batch production.
QM Geometry: The "QM" chipbreaker is a versatile geometry for medium-duty steel turning. It balances low cutting forces with excellent chip control, preventing "bird-nesting" even at varying depths of cut.
Recommended Cutting Parameters
| Parameter | Metric Value | Inch Value |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting Speed (vc) | 200 - 450 m/min | 655 - 1475 sfm |
| Feed Rate (fn) | 0.15 - 0.40 mm/rev | 0.006 - 0.016 in/rev |
| Depth of Cut (ap) | 0.5 - 4.0 mm | 0.020 - 0.157 in |
*Values may vary based on workpiece material hardness and machine stability.
Pro Tip: Grade Comparison
Looking for more heat resistance? Choose 4415 for continuous cuts at higher speeds. Dealing with interrupted cuts or heavy vibrations? Switch to 4425 for a perfect balance of toughness and wear resistance. For extremely unstable conditions, consider 4335.

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.
