ZCC.CT KNUX160405R12 YBC151 Turning Insert
Advanced CVD Coated Carbide for High-Efficiency Steel Finishing
Product Overview
The ZCC.CT KNUX160405R12 in grade YBC151 is a specialized parallelogram-shaped turning insert designed for precision profiling and finishing. The YBC151 grade features a thick Al2O3 and TiN CVD coating over a high-strength carbide substrate, making it the industry benchmark for P10-P15 steel machining. Its unique R12 geometry ensures excellent chip control even at lower depths of cut, preventing long, stringy chips from marring the workpiece surface.
Core Advantages
- ✔ Grade YBC151: Optimized for high-speed finishing with exceptional crater wear resistance.
- ✔ CVD Multi-Layer Coating: Thick Alumina layer provides a superior thermal barrier for dry machining.
- ✔ Reliable Profiling: The 55° parallelogram shape allows for intricate profile turning without tool interference.

Global Customer Feedback
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"YBC151 is my go-to for finishing. The finish on 4140 steel is like a mirror."
— Mike T., USA 🇺🇸⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Sehr gute Standzeit bei hoher Schnittgeschwindigkeit. ZCC-Qualität überzeugt."
— Jürgen K., Germany 🇩🇪⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Ottimo inserto per profilatura. Rapporto qualità-prezzo eccellente."
— Alessandro B., Italy 🇮🇹⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Reliable chip control with the R12 geometry. Fast shipping."
— Tanaka H., Japan 🇯🇵Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the "R" in R12 stand for?
A: "R" denotes that this is a Right-Hand insert. Please ensure your tool holder matches the orientation of the insert.
Q: Can I use YBC151 for stainless steel?
A: YBC151 is optimized for Steel (P). For Stainless Steel (M), we recommend ZCC.CT grades like YBM151 or YBM251 for better performance.
Q: Is this insert suitable for dry cutting?
A: Yes. The CVD coating and Al2O3 layer provide excellent heat resistance, making it suitable for high-speed dry cutting.
Industrial Tech Tip: For the longest tool life with YBC151, maintain a constant cutting speed (Vc). If you observe built-up edge (BUE), increase the cutting speed to move the heat from the workpiece to the chip.

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.
