TaeguTec CCMT09T304FG CT3000
High-Speed Cermet Grade for Mirror-Quality Steel Finishing
Product Overview
"Which insert is best for high-speed finishing of carbon and alloy steels to achieve a mirror-like surface without secondary polishing?"
The TaeguTec CCMT09T304FG CT3000 is a specialized 80° rhombic turning insert utilizing Cermet (Ceramic-Metallic) technology. Unlike traditional carbide, the CT3000 grade offers exceptional chemical stability and resistance to built-up edge, making it the industry standard for finishing steels (ISO P). Combined with the FG chipbreaker, which is designed for fine-to-medium finishing, this insert provides superior dimensional accuracy and a high-reflectivity surface finish that significantly reduces production costs and cycle times.
Key Features
Excellent resistance to oxidation and wear at high temperatures, allowing for higher cutting speeds than conventional carbide grades.
Specifically engineered for light depths of cut. The FG geometry provides perfect chip control, preventing "bird-nesting" during continuous finishing passes.
The uncoated cermet top face reduces material adhesion, ensuring your workpiece remains free of "smearing" and surface defects.

Verified Global Feedback
"Mirror finish reached!"
We were able to stop polishing our 4140 shafts after switching to CT3000. The FG chipbreaker is very reliable for small finishing passes.
— Precision Lathe Works (USA)"Top für die Serienfertigung"
Consistent dimensions across a batch of 1,000 parts. High stability and excellent heat resistance. Fast shipping to Germany.
— M. Schmidt (Germany)"Ottima qualità"
Great cermet grade. Very good at handling sticky steels. Surface reflectivity is perfect for our hydraulic valves.
— Meccanica G. (Italy)"Consistent Results"
TaeguTec never disappoints. The CCMT09T304FG is sharp and stays sharp through long production runs. Essential for our shop.
— K. Sato (Japan)Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is CT3000 suitable for interrupted cuts?
Cermet is generally more brittle than carbide. For interrupted cuts, we recommend lower feed rates or switching to a PVD coated carbide grade to prevent chipping.
2. Can I use this for stainless steel?
While CT3000 can machine some stainless, it is primarily optimized for ISO P (Carbon and Alloy Steel). For high-performance stainless turning, PVD grades like TT5080 are more effective.

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.
