VP15TF Miracle Technology
The VP15TF grade utilizes Mitsubishi's proprietary PVD Miracle coating, offering exceptional adhesion and heat resistance. This reduces built-up edge (BUE) in gummy materials and provides long-lasting durability in an indexable turning insert, especially when machining SUS304 or SUS316.
MS Chip Control Logic
The MS chipbreaker is a medium-light geometry designed for stability. Its sharp cutting edge reduces work hardening on the workpiece surface and promotes excellent chip evacuation, making it ideal for precision finishes in CNC turning applications.
