Key Features & Technical Advantages
- Double-Sided 6-Corner Design: Delivers exceptional cost-efficiency with 6 usable cutting edges per insert, reducing cost-per-edge significantly compared to positive single-sided inserts.
- MJ Medium-Cut Chipbreaker Geometry: Designed with a positive rake angle and wide chip pocket to minimize cutting resistance, prevent built-up edge (BUE), and clear chips smoothly during medium-to-heavy milling.
- T3225 Nano PVD Coating Grade: Features a high-hardness TiAlN/AlTiN multi-layer PVD coating combined with a tough carbide substrate, engineered specifically to resist thermal cracking, crater wear, and chipping in steel and stainless steel milling.
- High Depth-of-Cut Capability: Capable of achieving up to 6.0 mm maximum depth of cut ($a_p$) while maintaining high structural rigidity.

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.
