Mitsubishi WCGT020102L NX2525
High-Gloss NX2525 Cermet Grade for Precision Mirror Finishing
The Mitsubishi WCGT020102L NX2525 is a high-precision 80° trigonal positive-type cermet turning insert. Designed specifically for ultra-fine finishing of steel and stainless steel, the NX2525 cermet grade offers incredible chemical stability and resistance to thermal cracking. This WCGT 0.60.50.5L ANSI equivalent is the professional choice for achieving a mirror-like surface finish on small-diameter parts and precision CNC lathe components.

NX2525 Cermet Grade & Chipbreaker
NX2525 Uncoated Cermet: Mitsubishi’s NX2525 cermet grade is a Ti(CN) based material that bridges the gap between carbide and ceramic. Because it has a low affinity for workpiece materials, it virtually eliminates built-up edge (BUE). This is critical for dimensional accuracy and maintaining a consistent mirror finish over long production runs.
Universal Geometry: The W-shape provides excellent accessibility for profiling and internal boring. Its sharp edge and specialized chip-breaking design allow for exceptional chip control even at ultra-low feed rates.
Recommended Cutting Parameters
| Workpiece Material | Cutting Speed (Vc) | Feed Rate (f) | Depth of Cut (ap) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon/Alloy Steel | 120 - 280 m/min | 0.03 - 0.10 mm/rev | 0.1 - 0.5 mm |
| Stainless Steel (Finished) | 100 - 180 m/min | 0.03 - 0.08 mm/rev | 0.1 - 0.4 mm |
System Optimization
Ensure maximum stability by pairing this WCGT 0.60.50.5L insert with our premium boring bars or Swiss tool holders.

NX2525 is the industry standard for mirror-finish precision turning. If your job involves interrupted cuts or requires more toughness, consider the NX3035 grade. For non-ferrous metals (Aluminum/Copper), we recommend switching to the HTI10 non-coated carbide grade for the sharpest edge possible.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
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.
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.
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.
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.
