Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CCMT21.51 and CCMT060204 designations?
The CCMT21.51 is the ANSI (American) designation, while CCMT060204 is the ISO (International) designation. Both refer to the same insert with identical specifications: C shape, 6mm inscribed circle, 2.4mm thickness, 0.40mm corner radius, and 80-degree included angle.
What materials can I machine with these inserts?
These inserts are designed for P-group materials (carbon and alloy steels), M-group materials (stainless steels), and K-group materials (cast irons). They are particularly effective for general turning, facing, and profiling operations on these materials.
How does the MIRACLE AlTiN coating improve performance?
The MIRACLE AlTiN coating provides exceptional heat resistance (up to 800°C), reduces friction through improved lubricity, and enhances wear resistance. This results in longer tool life, higher cutting speeds, and better surface finishes compared to standard coatings.
What is the recommended cutting speed for these inserts?
For optimal performance with CCMT060204 VP15TF inserts, recommended cutting speeds are: 150-250 m/min for steel (P), 80-150 m/min for stainless steel (M), and 100-180 m/min for cast iron (K). Always refer to Mitsubishi's technical documentation for specific application parameters.
