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
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.
