FEATURES OF MMT SERIES

A WIDE VARIETY OF PRODUCTS
Mitsubishi Miracle Threading (MMT) series. 297 inserts and 26 holders.
M-CLASS INSERTS WITH 3-D CHIP BREAKERS
G-CLASS GROUND INSERTS

IDEAL CHIP CONTROL EVEN IN THE LATTER HALF OF PASSES WHEN CONTINUOUS CHIPS ARE USUALLY PRODUCED. (M-CLASS INSERTS WITH 3-D CHIP BREAKERS)
ISO metric external thread pitch 1.5mm Final pass (6th pass)
A HIGHER LEVEL OF PRECISION THAN CONVENTIONAL INSERTS (G-CLASS GROUND INSERTS)
ACHIEVES HIGHER PRECISION THREADING THAN CONVENTIONAL INSERTS
High precision threading can be achieved by using MMT inserts that feature a ground rake face and peripheral cutting edge.

VP10MF(G-class ground inserts only)
Superior wear and plastic deformation resistance
  • High wear and plastic deformation resistance for threading when maintaining the thread form is important. Suitable for continuous high precision machining with extensive tool life.
  • Effective in combination with G-class inserts for high precision threading.
VP15TF(G-class ground inserts, M-class inserts with 3-D chip breakers)
Wide versatility
  • High fracture resistance during low rigidity applications such as bar feed machining. Able to withstand harsh conditions for long periods where conventional inserts would be liable to breakage.
  • Effective combination of high cost performance M-class inserts with 3-D chip breakers.
VP20RT(G-class ground inserts, M-class inserts with 3-D chip breakers)
Excellent fracture resistance
  • Suitable for stainless steel boring and unstable machining where inserts are vulnerable to fracturing.
  • Effective combination of high cost performance M-class inserts with 3-D chip breakers.
CHOOSING M-CLASS INSERTS WITH 3-D CHIP BREAKERS OR G-CLASS INSERTS

G-class inserts

  • For ideal chip control and a high cost performance ratio, M-class inserts with 3-D chip breakers are recommended.
  • G-class inserts are recommended where higher precision is required.
