TaeguTec SOMT060204DP TT9080
Multi-Purpose PVD Excellence: The Universal Solution for High-Feed Milling
Product Overview
"Which milling insert provides the most consistent performance across stainless steel and alloy steel while maintaining high feed rates in deep pocketing?"
The TaeguTec SOMT060204DP TT9080 is a versatile high-feed milling powerhouse. Featuring the TT9080 grade—a sub-micron substrate with an advanced PVD coating—this insert is engineered to resist oxidation and built-up edge (BUE) in "gummy" materials like 304 and 316 stainless steel. The DP (General Purpose) geometry is designed with a robust rake angle and reinforced edge, ensuring the insert can handle high axial forces during ramping and plunging. This is the industrial standard for shops requiring a single, reliable grade that performs across multiple ISO material groups.
Key Features
A multi-layer PVD coating provides extreme heat resistance, making it ideal for wet milling and high-temperature alloys.
Engineered for stable chip formation in face milling and plunging, reducing machine vibration and spindle load.
Optimized for small-diameter high-feed cutters, allowing for aggressive cycle times in modern CNC centers.

"Universal Performance" - We use TT9080 for everything from 304 stainless to alloy steel. It's the only grade we need in our shop.
— Machine Shop Pro (USA)Outstanding chip control. The DP geometry makes high-feed milling look easy in 316 stainless.
— Präzisionstechnik (Germany)Ottima durata del tagliente. Molto affidabile per la lavorazione di acciai legati.
— Meccanica S.R.L. (Italy)Consistent results every batch. TaeguTec is always my first choice for high-feed.
— Kanto Engineering (Japan)Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is TT9080 suitable for dry milling?
While TT9080 has high heat resistance, we recommend using air or light coolant when machining stainless steel to prevent BUE and maximize tool life.
2. What is the maximum depth of cut (Ap) for SOMT 06?
The SOMT 06 series is a high-feed design; typical Ap ranges from 0.5mm to 1.2mm depending on the material and feed rate.

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.
