Shandong Yunfei CNC Tools Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of precision cutting tools, is proud to announce a significant upgrade to its popular APMT1135 and APMT1604 milling insert series. Responding to the evolving needs of modern machining, we have introduced the new Grade 1230, offering customers a versatile alternative to our classic Grade 1130.
Meeting the Demand for Flexible Machining
For years, our Grade 1130 has been the industry standard for wet cutting applications. Optimized specifically for environments with abundant coolant, it delivers exceptional performance in suppressing heat and reducing wear during the finishing and semi-finishing of steel, stainless steel, and mold steel.
However, as the manufacturing industry shifts towards green machining and smart manufacturing, many workshops are adopting Dry Cutting or Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) processes to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact. This shift requires tooling that can withstand higher thermal shocks without relying solely on coolant.
Introducing Grade 1230: The Universal Solution
The newly launched Grade 1230 is engineered to bridge this gap. Unlike the specialized wet-cutting focus of Grade 1130, Grade 1230 features an advanced substrate and coating architecture designed for universal compatibility:
- Dual Adaptability: It performs exceptionally well in both Dry Cutting and Wet Cutting conditions.
- Enhanced Thermal Resistance: The optimized coating structure provides superior heat resistance, making it ideal for high-speed dry machining.
- Toughness & Wear Resistance: Grade 1230 offers improved resistance to chipping and abrasion, ensuring stability even in interrupted cutting or complex working conditions.
Expanding Application Scenarios
With the addition of Grade 1230, Shandong Yunfei now offers a comprehensive solution for APMT1135 and APMT1604 inserts:
- Choose Grade 1130 for dedicated wet cutting lines where coolant supply is stable and maximum lubrication is required.
- Choose Grade 1230 for flexible production lines that switch between dry and wet methods, or for environments where coolant usage is restricted (e.g., specific mold processing or eco-friendly mandates).
"This launch represents our commitment to providing flexible solutions for our global partners," said the Product Manager at Shandong Yunfei CNC Tools. "Grade 1230 is not just a replacement; it is a strategic expansion that allows our customers to tackle a wider range of machining challenges with confidence."
The APMT1135 and APMT1604 inserts with Grade 1230 are now available for order. Contact our sales team today to request samples or technical data sheets.
