MITSUBISHI WNMG080404-GK MC5015

Cast Iron Machining Specialist | High-Speed Performance | Made in Japan

Product Overview

The Mitsubishi WNMG080404-GK MC5015 is a high-performance, double-sided 80° trigon negative insert specifically engineered for the unique challenges of cast iron turning. Utilizing the advanced MC5015 CVD coating technology, this insert provides industry-leading wear resistance against abrasive materials like gray and ductile iron. Combined with the robust GK chipbreaker and a precise 0.4mm corner radius, this indexable carbide insert ensures stable CNC machining and extended tool life in high-speed applications.

Advanced Grade: MC5015 (Cast Iron Excellence)

The MC5015 grade is Mitsubishi's premier CVD solution for high-speed cast iron machining. It features an extra-thick Al2O3 (Alumina) layer which provides incredible thermal barrier protection and abrasion resistance. This grade is specifically designed to combat the "sand" and abrasive particulates found in cast iron, resulting in significantly more consistent tool life compared to general-purpose grades.

GK Chipbreaker Geometry

The GK chipbreaker is optimized for stable cutting and high edge reliability. Cast iron often produces short, brittle chips, but the GK geometry focuses on preventing edge chipping and managing heat dissipation. The 0.4mm (04) corner radius is perfect for precision machining where a high degree of dimensional accuracy and lower cutting forces are needed.

Recommended Cutting Parameters

Optimized for Cast Iron (K-Class):

  • Cutting Speed (Vc): 150 - 450 m/min (490 - 1470 SFM)
  • Feed Rate (f): 0.10 - 0.30 mm/rev (0.004 - 0.012 ipr)
  • Depth of Cut (ap): 0.5 - 3.0 mm

*Pro Tip: MC5015 performs best at higher speeds where the coating can effectively dissipate heat from the tool-chip interface.*

Global Verified Customer Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Outstanding Wear Resistance" - Mark T., USA
"Switched to MC5015 for our ductile iron brake rotors. We're getting 40% more parts per edge than our previous supplier. Highly recommend."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Perfect for High Speed" - Lars H., Germany
"We run these at 400 m/min on gray iron. The finish is consistent and the insert doesn't burn out. Original quality."

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Very Stable" - Kenji S., Japan
"The GK breaker is very reliable. No sudden chipping even when the casting surface is rough. Very good for production."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great Finish on Castings" - Liam F., Australia
"The 0.4mm radius gives us the precision we need for finishing passes. MC5015 is a beast in iron. 6 edges per insert is amazing."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Fast Shipping" - Pavel D., Poland
"Arrived quickly and in original Mitsubishi packaging. Consistent performance every box. Five stars."

Technical Q&A

Q: Can I use MC5015 for Steel?

A: MC5015 is specialized for Cast Iron (K-Class). For steel, we recommend MC6025 or UE6110 for better results.

Q: Is the 0.4mm radius good for roughing?

A: The 0.4mm (04) radius is best for finishing to light-medium work. For heavy roughing, a 0.8mm or 1.2mm radius is typically preferred.

Q: Why is WNMG better than CNMG?

A: Both are 80° trigon/diamond, but WNMG offers 6 usable edges compared to 4 on CNMG, providing 50% more value per insert.

Expert Machining Tip: MC5015 vs MC5005

For High-Speed General Cast Iron machining, MC5015 is your best choice. If you are specifically focused on Continuous High-Speed Cutting of Gray Iron, consider MC5005 for even higher wear resistance.
