TaeguTec DCMT11T308PC TT9080
Precision PVD Excellence: Optimized for Stainless Steel and Exotic Alloys
Product Overview
"Which insert grade provides the longest tool life and best chip control when finishing tough 316 stainless steel or Inconel components?"
The TaeguTec DCMT11T308PC TT9080 is the industrial answer for ISO M (Stainless Steel) and ISO S (Heat-Resistant Super Alloys). The TT9080 grade is built upon a sub-micron carbide substrate that offers immense toughness, coated with a nano-layered PVD film to combat the high temperatures generated during the machining of exotic metals. The PC (Precision-Chip) chipbreaker is specifically tuned for light-to-medium finishing, featuring a sharp geometry that slices through gummy materials to prevent Built-Up Edge (BUE). Its 0.8mm corner radius ensures edge robustness and excellent surface integrity over long production cycles.
Key Features
A highly heat-resistant coating that prevents notch wear and chemical diffusion in aerospace-grade alloys.
Optimized for clean shearing, this geometry minimizes work hardening and maintains part dimensions under high thermal stress.
Offers significantly better edge protection than 0.4mm alternatives, making it ideal for semi-finishing tasks.

Global Industry Feedback
"Stainless Savior"
We struggled with chip bird-nesting on 316 stainless until we tried the PC breaker with TT9080. Total game changer.
— Precision Aero Parts (USA)"Hervorragende Leistung"
Excellent performance on duplex stainless steel. Tool life is twice as long as our previous brand.
— Scholz Maschinenbau (Germany)"Very Consistent"
Very stable dimensions over a 200-piece run on Inconel 718. The 0.8mm radius is very strong.
— Meccanica Precisione (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.
