TaeguTec TDC2 K10
Precision Parting and Grooving for Non-Ferrous & Cast Iron
Product Overview
"Which insert is best for high-speed parting of aluminum parts while maintaining a clean, burr-free finish?"
The TaeguTec TDC2 K10 is an industrial-grade, double-ended insert specifically designed for Parting and Grooving operations. Utilizing the K10 Uncoated Carbide grade, this tool is the premier choice for Non-Ferrous (ISO N) materials like Aluminum and Copper, as well as Cast Iron (ISO K). The TDC chipbreaker is engineered to narrow the chip during cutting, ensuring it is smaller than the groove width. This prevents chip clogging and "nesting," allowing for deeper grooves and faster cycle times with exceptional surface integrity.
Core Advantages
Uncoated fine-grain substrate provides an exceptionally sharp cutting edge, vital for preventing material welding in non-ferrous alloys.
Specialized geometry curls and compresses chips to ensure smooth evacuation, even in deep parting-off tasks.
The K10 grade offers superior thermal conductivity, reducing tool temperature in high-speed non-ferrous machining.

"Best insert for 6061 Aluminum parting. No burrs and the double-edge makes it very economical."
— Mark R., USA"Hervorragende Standzeit bei Grauguss. Die K10-Kante bleibt extrem scharf."
— Stefan H., Germany"Reliable chips evacuation in our deep grooving cycles. Genuine TaeguTec quality."
— Yuki T., Japan"Ottima per leghe di rame. Taglio netto e preciso."
— Luca M., Italy"Fast shipping and the K10 grade performs exactly as advertised for aluminum rods."
— Sarah W., UKFrequently Asked Questions
A: Not recommended. K10 is an uncoated grade for non-ferrous and iron. Machining steel will cause rapid crater wear. Use TT9080 for steel parting.
A: Coatings can sometimes round off a cutting edge. Uncoated K10 allows for the absolute sharpest edge, which is critical to avoid built-up edge (BUE) in aluminum.
A: TDC2 is a TaeguTec T-Clamp standard. It is designed to work specifically with TaeguTec holders for maximum precision and security.
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.
