TaeguTec CCGT120404FL K10
High-Precision Periphery Ground Insert for Aluminum & Non-Ferrous Metals
Product Overview
"Which CNC insert is most effective for high-speed finishing of aluminum while ensuring a mirror-like surface and zero chip welding?"
The TaeguTec CCGT120404FL K10 is the industrial standard for precision turning in non-ferrous materials. Featuring the K10 sub-micron uncoated carbide grade, this insert is fully periphery-ground and top-polished to a mirror finish. The FL Chipbreaker geometry provides a very high positive rake angle, which sharply shears material to reduce cutting forces and heat. This makes it the ideal choice for Aluminum (ISO N), Copper alloys, and engineering plastics where surface integrity is paramount.
Key Features
A specialized polishing process eliminates microscopic friction, preventing Built-Up Edge (BUE) and allowing for ultra-smooth chip flow.
Perfectly balanced for fine finishing and moderate feed rates, providing high edge strength and superior surface reflectivity.
Periphery ground to strict G-class tolerances, ensuring extreme dimensional repeatability in high-precision Swiss-type or CNC lathe operations.

Global Customer Feedback
"Flawless surface finish"
Using these on Aluminum 7075 parts for aerospace. The surface finish is so good we no longer need a separate polishing step. Highly recommend.
— Manufacturing Corp (USA)"Top Qualität für Alu"
Die Standzeit ist hervorragend. Keine Aufbauschneiden mehr bei hohen Schnittgeschwindigkeiten. Sehr stabile Maße.
— Precision Eng (Germany)"Ottimo per ottone"
Using this for precision brass valves. Very sharp edge, chips break exactly where they should. Fast shipping to Italy.
— Meccanica S. (Italy)"Very reliable Swiss-type insert"
Dimensions hold perfectly across thousands of parts in our Fanuc CNCs. The polished face is the difference maker.
— K. Tanaka (Japan)Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between K10 and TT5080?
K10 is an uncoated, polished grade for pure sharpness in finishing aluminum. TT5080 is PVD coated for better wear resistance in abrasive Al-Si alloys (>12% Silicon).
2. Can I use this for finishing steel?
No. The uncoated carbide will wear instantly on steel due to chemical diffusion. Please use a Cermet or PVD coated grade for steel finishing.
Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.
We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:
- For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
- For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.
The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:
- For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
- For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.
