TaeguTec CCMT060204PC TT9080
The Stainless Steel Specialist: Ultra-Tough PVD Coating for Challenging Materials
Product Overview
"Which insert grade provides the best resistance to built-up edge and notch wear when machining stainless steel or high-temperature alloys?"
The TaeguTec CCMT060204PC TT9080 is a high-performance 80° rhombic insert optimized for ISO M (Stainless Steel) and ISO S (Exotic Alloys). Featuring the advanced TT9080 PVD coating, this grade is specifically engineered to handle the work-hardening nature of stainless steel. The PC chipbreaker (Precision Cutting) utilizes a sharp cutting edge and positive rake angle to minimize cutting heat and vibration, ensuring excellent chip evacuation even in gummy materials.
Key Features
The ultra-smooth PVD layer significantly reduces friction, preventing built-up edge (BUE) on sticky materials.
A specialized fine-grain substrate that offers extreme resistance to thermal cracking and mechanical shock.
Reduces radial cutting forces, making it ideal for small-diameter boring and thin-walled precision parts.

Verified Global Feedback
"Lifesaver for 304 SS"
We struggled with built-up edge until we switched to TT9080. Tool life doubled instantly on our Swiss lathes.
— Precision Swiss (USA)"Perfekt für Edelstahl"
The best PVD grade for internal boring. Very stable and the surface finish is impeccable.
— Feinmechanik AG (Germany)"High Quality"
Great chip control in sticky alloys. Excellent value compared to other big brands.
— Engineering Pro (Japan)Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can TT9080 be used for Steel turning?
Yes, it is excellent for alloy steel in unstable conditions or small boring, but for high-speed mass production of steel, TT8125 is more efficient.
2. Does this insert require coolant?
For stainless steel, wet machining is highly recommended to control heat and extend the life of the PVD coating.
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.
