TaeguTec TDC3 TT9080
Maximum Edge Toughness for Interrupted & Heavy-Duty Parting
Product Overview
"Which 3mm parting insert is best for heavy interrupted cuts or unstable machining conditions in steel?"
The TaeguTec TDC3 TT9080 is a high-performance, double-ended 3mm insert specifically optimized for Process Security. While other grades focus purely on speed, the TT9080 PVD grade is built upon an ultra-tough substrate that resists chipping and thermal cracking. Coupled with the TDC chipbreaker, which uses a positive rake angle and concave geometry to narrow the chip for effortless evacuation, this insert ensures stable performance even when encountering cross-holes, splines, or varying depths of cut in Steel (ISO P) and Stainless Steel (ISO M).
Core Advantages
The multi-layered PVD coating is designed to absorb mechanical shock, making it the first choice for interrupted parting operations.
The chipbreaker compresses the chip width to less than 3.0mm, eliminating friction against the workpiece walls in deep grooves.
Two sharp, precision-ground cutting edges provide significant cost-per-cut savings without compromising on tool rigidity.

"We were breaking inserts on hex bar parting. Switched to TDC3 TT9080 and the breakage stopped immediately."
— Mike L., USA"Sehr zähe Sorte. Perfekt für unterbrochene Schnitte in Edelstahl."
— Hans G., Germany"Ottima resistenza agli urti. Lo usiamo per pezzi con fori trasversali."
— Roberto P., Italy"Reliable under difficult conditions. Fast shipping."
— Kenji S., Japan"Best 'safety' grade in the shop. If it's a messy cut, we use TT9080."
— Arthur J., UKFrequently Asked Questions
A: TT9080 is optimized for toughness. For high-speed finishing in stable conditions, the TT7220 grade will offer better wear resistance.
A: Yes. TDC3 is substantially more rigid and is the preferred choice for larger diameters or heavier interruptions.
A: Coolant is always recommended for parting, but TT9080's thermal shock resistance makes it one of the better choices if coolant is limited.
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.
