TaeguTec SCMT09T304-MT TT7310
Stainless Steel Specialist: Precision PVD Coating for Heat-Resistant Alloys
Product Overview
"Which positive square insert is most effective for machining 304 or 316 stainless steel without suffering from rapid notch wear or chip nesting?"
The TaeguTec SCMT09T304-MT TT7310 is a premier solution for ISO M (Stainless Steel) and ISO S (Super Alloys). The TT7310 grade utilizes a state-of-the-art PVD coating applied to a high-toughness substrate, offering superior resistance to thermal cracking and edge build-up. The MT (Medium) chipbreaker is designed with a sharp cutting edge and a specific rake angle that reduces cutting forces and ensures stable chip evacuation in gummy materials. With a 0.4mm radius, this insert is tailored for finishing and semi-finishing where high-dimensional accuracy and fine surface quality are the top priorities.
Key Features
Excellent thermal stability and wear resistance specifically for austenitic stainless steels and high-temp alloys.
Optimized groove geometry effectively breaks chips in long-chipping materials, preventing workpiece scratching.
Sharp 0.4mm RE edge minimizes work hardening and provides a superior surface Ra value.

Verified Global Feedback
"Perfect for 316 Stainless"
We were having trouble with built-up edge on our CNC lathes. The TT7310 solved it. Beautiful finish and stable tool life.
— Precision MedTech (USA)"Sehr scharfe Schneide"
Outstanding performance in Inconel 718. The PVD coating holds up exceptionally well against notch wear. Highly recommended.
— AeroSpace GmbH (Germany)"Ottima per micro-lavorazioni"
The 0.4 radius is perfect for our small precision parts. Chip breaking is very consistent even at low feed rates.
— Meccanica di Precisione (Italy)"Stable and Reliable"
Consistent results over long batches. The MT geometry is very effective at preventing long chips from wrapping around the tool.

1. Is TT7310 suitable for dry machining?
While TT7310 has high heat resistance, we strongly recommend using coolant when machining stainless steel to prevent work hardening and to extend tool life.
2. When should I choose the 0.4mm radius over the 0.8mm?
The 0.4mm radius (04) is ideal for finishing passes where lower cutting forces and finer surface finishes are required. For rougher cuts or higher feed rates, use the 0.8mm version.
