TaeguTec CCMT09T304MT CT3000
High-Performance Cermet Grade for Mirror-Finish Steel Turning
Product Overview
"Which insert provides the highest gloss surface finish on carbon and alloy steel components while maintaining dimensional accuracy at high speeds?"
The TaeguTec CCMT09T304MT CT3000 is an 80° rhombic turning insert engineered specifically for ISO P (Steel) finishing operations. Utilizing the CT3000 Cermet technology—a titanium-based composite—this insert offers superior chemical stability and thermal resistance compared to standard tungsten carbide. The MT chipbreaker (Medium-Turning Geometry) provides versatile chip control, allowing it to transition seamlessly from light finishing to medium turning. This prevents built-up edge (BUE) and ensures a high-gloss, mirror-like surface on the workpiece even during prolonged high-speed cycles.
Key Features
Exceptional resistance to crater wear and oxidation, enabling higher cutting speeds and longer edge sharpess.
The MT chipbreaker optimizes chip breaking for a wide range of feed rates in carbon and alloy steels.
Cermet's low affinity for metal workpiece materials prevents adhesion, leading to superior Ra values.

Verified Global Feedback
"Ground-finish quality"
Replaced our standard carbide with CT3000 for finishing. The surface looks like it was ground. Highly recommend for steel parts.
— Precision Lathe Services (USA)"Sehr gute Standzeit"
Very consistent dimensions even at high Vc. The MT chipbreaker works perfectly for our alloy steel batch production.
— Fertigungstechnik GmbH (Germany)"Ottima Finitura"
Excellent surface finish. We use it for the final pass on high-carbon steel components. Very predictable tool life.
— Officina Meccanica (Italy)Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is CT3000 suitable for stainless steel?
While it can be used, cermet is optimized for ISO P (Steel). For stainless steel, we recommend the TT8125 or TT8115 PVD carbide grades.
2. Can I use this for interrupted cuts?
Cermet is more brittle than carbide. For continuous finishing, CT3000 is excellent. For light interruptions, consider PV3010 or a carbide grade.

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.
