TaeguTec CPMT080204FG CT3000
The Cermet Finishing Specialist: Achieve Mirror Surfaces in Steel Turning
Product Overview
"Which precision insert is best for achieving a high-gloss finish on steel parts while maintaining strict dimensional tolerances?"
The TaeguTec CPMT080204FG CT3000 is an elite turning solution engineered for ISO P (Steel) finishing. Utilizing the high-performance CT3000 Cermet grade, this insert provides superior chemical stability and resistance to built-up edge compared to standard carbide. The FG (Finishing-Ground) chipbreaker features a sharp, positive geometry that reduces cutting pressure, making it perfect for light depths of cut and high-speed finishing where surface integrity is critical.
Key Features
A titanium-based ceramic-metallic composite that maintains a sharp edge longer than carbide for high-speed finishing.
Designed for ultra-fine finishing. Ensures tight chip control even at low depths of cut (0.2mm - 1.0mm).
Low friction coefficients prevent material welding, resulting in exceptional Ra values and aesthetic surface quality.

Verified Global Feedback
"Mirror Finish on Steel"
Using the CT3000 on our CNC Swiss lathes has completely removed the need for secondary polishing. Ra values are consistently excellent.
— Precision Parts Inc (USA)"Edge Sharpness"
The FG breaker keeps the chips small and away from the workpiece. Essential for high-precision boring in alloy steels.
— Feinmechanik GmbH (Germany)"Consistent Quality"
Perfect for finishing small stainless and steel parts. Very stable at high RPMs.
— Techno Components (Japan)Frequently Asked Questions
1. Should I use coolant with CT3000 Cermet?
Cermet performs exceptionally well in dry conditions due to its high thermal stability. However, if used with coolant, ensure a consistent, high-volume flow to avoid thermal cracking.
2. What is the main advantage of FG breaker?
The FG (Finishing-Ground) chipbreaker is ground for high precision, offering a sharper edge and superior chip breaking at very light feeds and depths of cut.

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.
