ZCC.CT KNUX160405R11 YBC151 turning insert
Precision High-Speed Finishing for Steel Applications
Product Overview
The ZCC.CT KNUX160405R11 YBC151 is a specialized 55° parallelogram turning insert engineered for the ISO P10-P20 steel range. The YBC151 grade features a thick Al2O3 and TiN CVD coating that provides an exceptional thermal barrier, allowing for high-speed continuous cutting. Combined with the R11 chipbreaker, this insert excels in profiling and finishing operations where precise chip control and surface integrity are non-negotiable.
Key Features
- ✔ YBC151 CVD Coating: Thick layer technology optimized for crater wear resistance during high-velocity machining.
- ✔ R11 Geometry: A precision-ground right-hand chipbreaker designed for aggressive chip evacuation at low depths of cut.
- ✔ Substrate Integrity: High-hardness carbide base ensures minimal plastic deformation at the cutting edge.

— Hans W., Germany 🇩🇪⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Ottimo inserto per finitura. Il truciolo si rompe perfettamente con la geometria R11."
— Luigi B., Italy 🇮🇹⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Very consistent performance in batch production. Right-hand orientation is precise."
— Kenji S., Japan 🇯🇵Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can YBC151 handle interrupted cuts?
A: YBC151 is a high-hardness grade optimized for continuous finishing. For heavy interrupted cuts, we recommend using YBC252 or YBC351.
Q: What is the benefit of the R11 chipbreaker?
A: The R11 is specifically designed for profiling. It ensures that chips do not wrap around the workpiece or tool holder, even at small cutting depths.
Q: Does this work with stainless steel?
A: While it can cut some stainless, YBC151 is optimized for P-group steel. For stainless steel, the YBM series is a better match.
Industrial Tech Tip: When using YBC151 for finishing, ensure your cutting speed (Vc) is high enough to enter the thermal softening zone for the chip, which dramatically improves surface finish and reduces tool pressure.

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.
