y Features
Low Cutting Resistance Inserts
Long Life Insert Grade
a Advanced simulation technology has been utilised to develop

the inserts.
a Efficient machining on low rigidity machines and workpieces
is now possible and is ideal for thin wall or extended reach
applications.
MIRACLE coated VP15TF has a good balance of wear and fracture

resistance. MIRACLE coated VP20RT exhibits excellent
performance for stainless steel machining. TF15 is ideal for
aluminium alloy machining. These grades are suitable for a variety of
workpiece materials.

High Rigidity Cutter Bodies
Effective Deep Hole Machining
a Rigidity has been increased by using a larger amount of

backing metal behind the insert.
a Resistance to corrosion and abrasion on the cutter bodies
made possible by using a superior high heat resistant alloy and a
special surface treatment.
a The cutter bodies are designed with through coolant holes to
improve cooling and chip disposal.

(Note 1) These cutting conditions are a guide to the standard shank type and the arbor type.
Please make adjustments according to the machining conditions.
(Note 2) Vibration is liable to occur in certain cases. Please reduce the depth of cut and / or reduce cutting conditions in the following cases.
. When using the long shank type and extra long shank type.
. When using long tool overhang with the standard or arbor type.
. When the application has poor clamping rigidity or when using a low rigidity machine.
(Note 3) In case of coarse and fine pitch cutters, the coarse pitch type is recommended to prevent vibration.
(Note 4) For heavy interrupted and unstable cutting, the H breaker insert is the first recommendation.

*1) L (=10/tan %). Cutters moving distance until depth of cut reaches 10mm at a maximum ramping angle.
*2) In case nose radius of 0.8mm. Other nose that, find with the below formula.
{(cutting edge diameter D1) (nose radius) 0.2)} x 2
Note) When machining highly ductile materials with ramping angles above, chips could be continuous.
In this case, decrease the ramping angle or feed per tooth.

Note) When machining highly ductile materials with ramping angles above, chips could be continuous.
In this case, decrease the ramping angle or feed per tooth.

a Cutting tools become extremely hot during cutting. Never touch them with bare hands after operation as this
may produce risk of injuries or burns.

a Do not handle the cutting tools with bare hands as this may cause injuries.
Operational Guidance
a Use only specified inserts and parts.
a Clamp the inserts at a specified torque of only.

For Your Safety

aDon't handle inserts and chips without gloves. aPlease machine within the recommended application range and exchange expired tools with new ones in advance of breakage. aPlease use
safety covers and wear safety glasses. aWhen using compounded cutting oils, please take fire precautions. aWhen attaching inserts or spare parts, please use only the correct wrench or spanner.
aWhen using rotating tools, please make a trial run to check run-out, vibration and abnormal sounds etc.
