Taegutec-Original Inserts from Korea

All 76 inserts in this catalog are 100% genuine Taegutec — manufactured by Taegutec in Daegu, Korea. Each insert is sourced through Taegutec's authorized distribution channels and ships in original factory packaging with full traceability. Taegutec's premium carbide substrates, CVD/PVD coatings, and edge-preparation processes are specified across the full TT series (PVD/CVD coated steel + stainless), CT series (cermet finishing), KT series (cast iron), US series (uncoated aluminum) grade families — providing the consistent performance and reliability that has made Taegutec a leading cutting-tool brand.

About CC / CP 80° Diamond Positive Inserts

Taegutec 80° diamond positive inserts with 7° positive rake provide the most common turning geometry for general steel and stainless work. The 80° point with positive rake balances edge strength and lower cutting forces — making CC/CP the preferred choice for everyday turning operations.

The CC-CP-80-DIAMOND family includes sub-designations:

• CCMT — 80° Diamond Positive w/ Hole + Molded Chipbreaker
• CCGT — 80° Diamond Positive Ground Sharp Edge
• CPMT — 80° Diamond Positive w/ Hole + Molded Chipbreaker

Taegutec is one of the world's leading manufacturers of CNC cutting tools, with decades of carbide expertise. Taegutec's grade lineup represents decades of coating and substrate development for ISO P / M / K / N applications.

How to Choose the Right Taegutec CC-CP-80-DIAMOND Insert

Selecting the correct Taegutec CC-CP-80-DIAMOND insert involves three decisions:

1. Material → Grade: Steel → TT7015 / TT8115. Stainless → TT8020 / TT9225. Cast iron → KT-series. Aluminum → US-series.
2. Sub-designation → Operation: General turning → CCMT. Finishing → CCGT. Heavy roughing → thicker section.
3. IC size → Tool holder: Smaller IC fits compact holders. Larger IC for heavy-duty work.

Tip: For stainless steel work, Taegutec TT9225 (CVD M-grade) provides superior wear resistance. For aluminum, use uncoated US-series with sharp-edge geometry.
