Advanced Grade & Chip Control
VP15TF (Miracle Coating): This grade is a PVD-coated micro-grain carbide. The "Miracle Coating" (Al-Ti-N) provides extreme heat resistance and high hardness, allowing for stable cutting even in difficult-to-machine materials like Inconel or 304/316 Stainless Steel.
Universal Chipbreaker: Optimized for finishing and medium-light cutting. The geometry ensures smooth chip evacuation, preventing chip nesting and protecting the surface finish of the workpiece.
Technical Cutting Parameters
| Workpiece Material | Cutting Speed (Vc) | Feed Rate (f) |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel (304/316) | 80 - 160 m/min | 0.05 - 0.20 mm/rev |
| Carbon/Alloy Steel | 100 - 220 m/min | 0.05 - 0.25 mm/rev |

While VP15TF is the best all-around grade for stainless and light steel cutting, consider US735 if you are performing heavy interrupted cuts in stainless steel. For high-speed finishing of carbon steel in stable conditions, NX2525 cermet may provide a better surface gloss.
