VPX Brochure

Comprehensive choice of the latest multi functional milling tool

Mitsubishi’s established VPX series is now even more versatile due to the addition of a long edge type. All the benefits of the tangential inserts giving strength and process reliability in the standard series can be used to efficiently machine longer reach shoulder and deep pocket applications. VPX is the ideal tool for todays machinist that requires optimum usability for reducing inventory costs without compromising on high performance.

Benefits

Durable and Versatile

• Cost effective 4 cutting edges per insert
• Easy set up - Same insert for all pockets, no dedicated insert needed for ramping
• Multi functional – reduces in-cycle tool changes thereby saving time
• Outstanding durability and reliability suitable for lights out machining
• Large insert seating faces lessen vibration, reducing stress on smaller machine tools
• Choice of grades and chipbreakers allows versatility and shrinks inventory costs

Technology

Revolutionary design

• Innovative design provides a 4 corner tangential insert capable of ramping
• Thicker inserts with positive leading edge geometry means lower cutting forces
• Minor cutting edge with wiper type features gives smooth machined surface finishes
• Long edge cutter bodies designed to use the same inserts as standard type
• The latest PVD, CVD and uncoated micro-grain carbide insert grades
