What are the CCMT060204 VP15TF inserts?

The CCMT060204 VP15TF (ANSI CCMT21.51) is a Mitsubishi Materials carbide turning insert — the 80° rhombic, 6.35 mm IC insert with a 0.4 mm nose radius and positive rake geometry, in the VP15TF PVD-coated grade for steel work. The yellow box label prints the grade's recommended windows straight from the factory: P group 160–110 m/min (525–360 SFM), M group 140–80 m/min (460–260 SFM), K group 225–160 m/min (740–525 SFM), at feeds 0.28–0.14 mm/rev (0.011–0.006 IPR) — with the FMT468TET4E9 ordering barcode and MADE IN JAPAN. The box carries Mitsubishi's own anti-counterfeit layers: the hologram strip, the DIAEDGE anti-fake QR (查询真伪) sticker, and the moulded WARNING text covering the cobalt dust hazard. This record is twenty inserts — two factory boxes of ten — box barcodes 78424168 and 78424172, new, intake recorded 19 January 2026, record weight 0.5 kg. Five photos cover both boxes and the inserts inside.

What VP15TF buys on steel

VP15TF is Mitsubishi's long-running answer to the everyday steel-turning problem: a tough substrate under a fine PVD coating that holds an edge through interrupted cuts and varied feeds without chipping, at the speeds small and medium lathes actually run. The CCMT geometry adds the finishing bias — the 80° rhombic with a 0.4 mm corner gives a strong yet fine nose for profiling and small bores, and the through-hole seats on the standard screw clamp. The label's three-group table is the practical setup card: pick the column for the workpiece — steel (P), stainless (M), or cast iron (K) — start mid-range on speed, and take the feed down toward 0.14 mm/rev when surface finish matters. Twenty inserts is two full index cycles on a single-station tool: twenty corners across two boxes, all from the same factory barcode run.

The boxes here are factory-sealed stock with the anti-fake layers intact — the hologram, the DIAEDGE QR sticker and the clear lid showing all ten pockets filled. For a job shop standardising one steel grade across its CCMT tooling, the two-box lot keeps corners identical from first pocket to last.
