TaeguTec DCMT11T304PC TT9080
The Professional Choice for Stainless Steel: Ultra-Tough PVD Coated Excellence
Product Overview
"Which insert grade is best for preventing work hardening and built-up edge when finishing 304 or 316 stainless steel components?"
The TaeguTec DCMT11T304PC TT9080 is a high-performance PVD-coated carbide insert optimized for ISO M (Stainless Steel) and ISO S (Super Alloys). The TT9080 grade features a specialized sub-micron substrate coated with a nano-layered PVD film, providing maximum resistance to edge chipping and thermal cracking. The PC (Precision-Chip) chipbreaker is engineered for finishing operations, utilizing a sharp geometry that reduces cutting forces and heat generation—critical for preventing work hardening in gummy materials. With a 0.4mm corner radius, this insert provides the precision required for tight tolerances and exceptional surface integrity.
Key Features
Superior coating adhesion and toughness, designed to withstand the abrasive nature of heat-resistant alloys and stainless steel.
A sharp rake angle and precision-ground edge ensure clean shearing of the material, significantly reducing built-up edge (BUE).
Maintains edge hardness at elevated temperatures, preventing plastic deformation during prolonged finishing cycles.

Global Industry Feedback
"Best for Stainless"
We struggled with tool life on 316L until we switched to TT9080. The PC breaker keeps the heat out of the part.
— Medical Machining Group (USA)"Exzellente Standzeit"
Outstanding performance on duplex steel. Very predictable wear pattern and great surface Ra.
— Feinmechanik GmbH (Germany)"High Precision"
A very sharp insert. Perfect for precision finishing in thin-walled stainless tubes.
— Precision S.r.l (Italy)Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is TT9080 suitable for dry machining?
For Stainless Steel and HRSA, wet machining (coolant) is strongly recommended to evacuate heat and ensure optimal tool life.
2. Can I use this for Titanium?
Yes. TT9080 is an excellent grade for Titanium alloys due to its high toughness and specialized PVD coating.
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.
