TaeguTec DCMT11T304FG PV3010
Precision PVD Cermet Technology: The Benchmark for High-Gloss Steel Finishing
Product Overview
"Which turning insert is best for maintaining micron-level dimensional accuracy and a mirror finish in long-run steel production?"
The TaeguTec DCMT11T304FG PV3010 is a high-performance finishing specialist designed for ISO P (Steel) and ISO M (Stainless Steel). The PV3010 grade is a sophisticated PVD Coated Cermet, offering the superior chemical stability of a cermet substrate with the added abrasive wear resistance of a TiAlN-based PVD coating. The FG (Finishing-General) chipbreaker is engineered for light-duty finishing passes, ensuring smooth chip evacuation and preventing surface scratches. With its 0.4mm corner radius, it provides the ideal balance between edge sharpness and structural stability for high-quality components.
Key Features
Combines the high-speed capability of cermet with a protective PVD layer, significantly extending tool life in abrasive steels.
A sharp, ground cutting edge reduces cutting pressure, preventing vibration and ensuring a part-from-machine mirror finish.
Low chemical affinity for workpiece materials prevents built-up edge, critical for maintaining surface integrity.

Global Industry Feedback
"Flawless surface finish"
Using PV3010 for finishing 4140 shafts. The Ra is consistently low and tool life is double what we had with carbide.
— Precision Dynamics (USA)"Top für kleine Bohrungen"
Excellent results in small boring bars. No vibration and the mirror finish is remarkable.
— Zerspanung GmbH (Germany)"Consistent for Swiss Lathes"
The FG breaker works wonders on light cuts. Very stable chip control even at high feeds.
— Moto-Tech (Italy)Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the main benefit of the PV3010 PVD coating?
The PVD coating provides an extra layer of protection against abrasive wear and thermal shock, allowing the cermet to maintain its edge sharpness much longer than uncoated grades.
2. Is the FG breaker suitable for roughing?
No. The FG chipbreaker is optimized for finishing cycles (DOC < 1.0mm). For heavier cuts, look for the TaeguTec MT or PC chipbreakers.
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.
