Mitsubishi WCGT020104L NX2525
High-Gloss NX2525 Cermet Grade for Precision Mirror Finishing
The Mitsubishi WCGT020104L NX2525 is a high-precision 80° trigonal positive-type cermet turning insert. Engineered specifically for ultra-fine finishing of carbon and alloy steels, the NX2525 cermet grade provides exceptional thermal stability and chemical resistance. This WCGT 0.60.51L ANSI equivalent is the professional choice for achieving a mirror-like surface finish on small-diameter components and precision Swiss-type CNC lathe applications.

NX2525 Cermet Grade & Geometry Details
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, high-gloss finish over long production runs.
Precision Ground Geometry: The G-class tolerance ensures extremely tight repeatability. Its sharp cutting edge is optimized for light cutting depths, allowing for exceptional chip control even at ultra-low feed rates without sacrificing surface quality.
Recommended Cutting Parameters
| Workpiece Material | Cutting Speed (Vc) | Feed Rate (f) | Depth of Cut (ap) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon/Alloy Steel | 120 - 280 m/min | 0.05 - 0.15 mm/rev | 0.1 - 0.7 mm |
| Stainless Steel (Finishing) | 100 - 180 m/min | 0.05 - 0.12 mm/rev | 0.1 - 0.5 mm |
System Optimization
Maintain maximum rigidity in precision turning by pairing this WCGT 0.60.51L insert with our high-quality internal boring bars or external holders.

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

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.
