Finishing

T9115 CVD Grade

Designed for high-speed steel turning. The thick Al₂O₃ coating layer provides extreme heat resistance and prevents crater wear during high-productivity runs.

-PS Chip Control

Optimized for light-duty finishing. The positive rake angle lowers cutting forces, reducing vibration and ensuring a mirror-like Ra surface finish.

Premium Durability

The specialized PremiumTec surface technology smoothens the coating, reducing chip friction and increasing tool life by up to 30% compared to standard grades.

"We switched to these for all our finishing tasks. Lower costs due to increased tool life."

Technical FAQ

Q: Is T9115 suitable for interrupted cuts?

A: T9115 is optimized for continuous cutting at high speeds. For heavy interrupted cuts, T9125 is generally recommended for its higher toughness.

Q: Can this be used on Stainless Steel?

A: While it can cut some stainless, it is a steel-specific grade (P-Group). We recommend Tungaloy AH600/AH700 series for stainless steel applications.

Q: What is PremiumTec technology?

A: It is a special surface treatment after CVD coating that smoothens the insert surface, reducing friction and preventing chip welding.

Machinist Tip: Grade Selection

For the best Ra surface finish, push the **T9115** to the higher end of its speed range. High speed reduces the risk of built-up edge, which is the enemy of a mirror finish. **BEYOND CNC** - Your Source for Industrial Efficiency.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide

How do I choose the correct specification?

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.

How can I check compatibility with my existing setup?

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.

What quantity and price unit am I 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.

How should I choose cutting parameters?

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.

Are bulk discounts available?

Our automatic quantity discount is 6% off for 2–9 items and 12% off for 10 or more items, based on the total product quantity in the cart. Other offers may not combine with this discount; check the applicable offer conditions.
