SNMG120408 UC5115
Mitsubishi Materials | The Toughness Standard for Cast Iron Turning
The Mitsubishi SNMG120408 UC5115 is a high-reliability indexable turning insert designed for the diverse challenges of cast iron machining. Utilizing the UC5115 CVD coating, this insert is the premier choice for interrupted cutting and general-purpose turning of gray cast iron (FC) and ductile iron (FCD). Its specialized coating provides a shield against thermal cracking, making it a "stable workhorse" for high-volume CNC turning where part consistency is paramount.

UC5115 Toughness Grade
The UC5115 grade is a specialized CVD-coated carbide designed for ISO K15-K25 applications. While UC5105 focuses on speed, UC5115 focuses on edge security. It features a robust TiCN + Al2O3 coating layer that resists thermal shock and mechanical impact, making it ideal for turning cast iron parts with scale, sand inclusions, or interrupted surfaces.
SNMG Precision Chip Control
The SNMG geometry provides a strong square profile with 8 cutting edges for maximum economy. The 0.8mm radius is the industry's most versatile choice for medium roughing to semi-finishing. This geometry ensures a balanced cutting resistance, reducing chatter on less stable machines while maintaining a high-quality surface finish.
