TaeguTec CCMT120404MT TT5100
Premium CVD Grade for High-Speed Cast Iron Machining Stability
Product Overview
"Which insert grade is most reliable for high-speed continuous turning of grey and nodular cast iron without premature edge chipping?"
The TaeguTec CCMT120404MT TT5100 is an 80° rhombic turning insert specifically optimized for ISO K (Cast Iron) applications. Featuring the robust TT5100 CVD coating technology, this insert provides a thick alumina layer that acts as a superior thermal barrier during high-speed dry machining. The MT chipbreaker (Medium Turning) is engineered for versatile chip control across varying depths of cut, ensuring that abrasive cast iron dust is managed efficiently while maintaining edge sharpness for precision finishing and medium-duty roughing.
Key Features
Thick Al2O3 layer provides excellent crater wear resistance and thermal protection for high-speed runs.
Designed to balance cutting force and edge strength, making it suitable for a wide range of cast iron grades.
The hard substrate is specifically formulated to withstand the abrasive nature of grey and ductile iron.

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.
