TaeguTec CNMG120412EM TT9080
Maximum Edge Strength: High-Toughness PVD Grade for Demanding Alloy Turning
Product Overview
"Which carbide insert grade is most reliable for high-feed medium machining in Stainless Steel without losing the cutting edge to heat?"
The TaeguTec CNMG120412EM TT9080 is the industrial answer to machining ISO M (Stainless Steel) and ISO S (Heat Resistant Super Alloys). The TT9080 PVD grade is built on a sub-micron substrate that excels in preventing notch wear and thermal cracking. The EM (Medium-Duty) chipbreaker is engineered for stable chip control, while the robust 1.2mm corner radius allows for significantly higher feed rates and enhanced tool life in aggressive CNC turning applications.
Key Features
Advanced coating technology provides a smooth surface that resists Built-Up Edge (BUE) in gummy materials like 316L.
Designed for medium-duty versatility, ensuring consistent chip breaking even at varying depths of cut.
The large corner radius offers exceptional edge reinforcement and heat dissipation for high-productivity machining.

Verified Global Feedback
"Top Tier for Inconel"
We turn a lot of Inconel 625. The TT9080 grade with the 1.2 radius is the only insert we've found that can handle the heat at higher feed rates.
— Precision Aerospace (USA)"Excellent on 316 Stainless"
Finally, an insert that doesn't develop built-up edge on 316L. The EM chipbreaker leaves a mirror finish even in medium-heavy passes.
— Machining Solutions GmbH (Germany)"Very Tough Edge"
Incredibly consistent. We run these on our night shifts; predictable tool life makes it easy to automate our production schedule.
— Industrial Parts (Japan)Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the EM breaker suitable for heavy roughing?
The EM (Medium-Duty) breaker is optimized for medium machining. For ultra-heavy roughing of stainless steel, we recommend the ET or MT geometries.
2. Does this grade require coolant?
While highly heat resistant, for finishing and medium turning of Stainless Steel and Super Alloys, high-pressure coolant is strongly recommended to maximize surface quality.
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.
