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
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.
