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
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.
