TaeguTec TCMT110204FA CT3000
Precision Cermet Grade for High-Speed Mirror Finishing
Product Overview
"Which insert provides the highest surface gloss and best dimensional stability for high-volume steel finishing?"
The TaeguTec TCMT110204FA CT3000 is an elite precision insert designed for the Steel (ISO P) sector. Utilizing the advanced CT3000 Cermet grade, this tool offers exceptional resistance to oxidation and built-up edge (BUE) due to its low affinity for steel workpieces. The FA (Finishing-A) chipbreaker features a sharp, ground cutting edge and a highly positive rake angle, specifically engineered to manage small chips at light depths of cut. With a 0.4mm corner radius, it strikes the perfect balance between edge strength and surface smoothness, allowing machinists to achieve mirror-like results in high-speed, continuous turning operations.
Core Advantages
Uncoated Cermet technology provides higher hardness and chemical stability than carbide at extreme temperatures.
Ground-edge precision that effectively eliminates vibration and ensures consistent chip curling in light cuts.
Enables high surface speeds (Vc) which results in a superior, polished surface finish compared to PVD/CVD carbide.

"The mirror finish is spectacular. We replaced our grinding process on several steel pins with this Cermet grade."
— David L., USA"Hervorragende Oberflächengüte bei legiertem Stahl. CT3000 ist sehr stabil."
— Klaus M., Germany"High precision and genuine quality. The FA breaker works perfectly at low feed rates."
— Sato T., Japan"Finitura a specchio su acciai al carbonio. Molto soddisfatto della durata."
— Franco B., Italy"The best finishing grade for consistent Ra values. No edge buildup even after hours of use."
— Paul H., UKFrequently Asked Questions
A: Cermet can be used dry or wet. For finishing steel, dry machining often produces a better surface finish. If using coolant, ensure it is high-pressure and consistent to avoid thermal cracking.
A: No. Cermet is more brittle than carbide. It is strictly for light finishing (Ap under 1.5mm) and continuous cuts.
A: CT3000 is optimized for Steel (ISO P). For Stainless Steel, we recommend the PVD carbide grade TT9080 for better edge integrity.

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.
