TaeguTec CCMT060204PC CT3000
The Mirror-Finish Expert: Unmatched Cermet Performance for High-Speed Turning
Product Overview
"Which insert is best for achieving a high-gloss surface finish and maintaining tight tolerances on steel parts during high-speed finishing?"
The TaeguTec CCMT060204PC CT3000 is a high-technology 80° rhombic insert crafted from CT3000 Cermet. Unlike standard carbide, Cermet (a composite of Ceramic and Metal) offers exceptional chemical stability and resistance to built-up edge (BUE), making it the gold standard for high-speed finishing of Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, and Stainless Steel. The PC chipbreaker is specifically designed for light depths of cut, ensuring excellent chip control and low cutting forces to prevent vibration and ensure a flawless surface finish.
Key Features
Unmatched chemical resistance at high temperatures, providing superior surface Ra values and gloss.
Sharp cutting edge combined with precision geometry for stable chip evacuation at light loads.
The Cermet substrate prevents material welding, ensuring the cutting edge remains sharp for longer durations.

Verified Global Feedback
"Surface is like a mirror"
We switched from coated carbide to CT3000 for our finishing pass. The gloss on the steel shafts is incredible. No secondary polishing needed.
— Precision Components (Japan)"Excellent tool life"
The tolerance stays consistent across a 500-part run. Very little wear on the edge even at 350 m/min.
— Machining Solutions (Germany)"Ottima Finitura"
Great for small parts. The PC chipbreaker controls the chips perfectly in stainless 304 finishing.
— Meccanica di Precisione (Italy)Frequently Asked Questions
1. Should I use coolant with CT3000 Cermet?
Cermet performs best in dry machining or with minimal lubrication (MQL) to avoid thermal shock, though consistent high-pressure coolant can be used if thermal stability is maintained.
2. Can this be used for heavy roughing?
No. Cermet is more brittle than carbide. It is strictly recommended for finishing and light medium turning with low depths of cut.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
When choosing CNC cutting tools, check the full model code, dimensions, grade and selected variant before ordering. Do not rely on the product image alone.
For carbide inserts, tool holders, drills and end mills, compare the mounting dimensions, connection type and manufacturer's specifications with your holder or machine. If you are unsure, share your existing part number and machining application with us before ordering.
Check the product listing for the selling unit, pack quantity and included components. If it is unclear whether the price is per piece or per pack, or whether a tool body and inserts are sold separately, contact us before purchasing.
Select cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using the relevant manufacturer's recommendations for your tool model, workpiece material, machine conditions and coolant method. The same settings are not suitable for every product or application.
