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.

"Ran these at 350m/min on alloy steel. The T9115 grade holds up remarkably well against heat."

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great Finish" - Hans S., Germany
"The -PS breaker is very reliable for finishing. Clean chips and no bird nesting."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Stable Quality" - Y. Tanaka, Japan
"Consistent tool life across every box. Perfect for our automated production lines."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "B2B Choice" - Matteo V., Italy
"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

Are your carbide inserts interchangeable with major brands like Sandvik, Iscar, or Kennametal?

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.

How do I choose the correct insert grade and chipbreaker for machining Stainless Steel (M) vs. Carbon Steel (P)?

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.
What are the recommended cutting speed (Vc) and feed rate (f) parameters to maximize tool life?

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.
Do you offer bulk discounts or wholesale pricing for machine shops and distributors?

Yes, we support machine shops, distributors, and global buyers with tiered wholesale pricing and competitive volume discounts. We also provide OEM custom manufacturing solutions for tool holders and carbide inserts based on your technical drawings. Contact our team to request a quick B2B quotation.

What is your international shipping policy and typical lead time for orders?

We provide secure worldwide express shipping (via DHL, FedEx, and UPS) with specialized, vibration-proof industrial packaging to ensure tools arrive in perfect condition. In-stock items are dispatched within 24-48 hours, while custom or bulk orders typically have a stable lead time of 15-25 days.

How do you guarantee the quality and tolerance precision of your CNC tools?
