TaeguTec TDJ2 K10
Precision 2.0mm Parting Solution for Aluminum & Non-Ferrous Alloys
Product Overview
"Which 2mm insert is best for high-speed parting of aluminum to achieve a mirror finish without chip welding?"
The TaeguTec TDJ2 K10 is the premier choice for ISO N (Non-Ferrous) materials. Unlike general-purpose steel inserts, the TDJ geometry features an extremely sharp cutting edge and a polished-style chipbreaker profile. The K10 grade is an uncoated micro-grain carbide specifically selected for its high resistance to Built-Up Edge (BUE). By using an uncoated surface, the TDJ2 K10 maintains a sharper edge radius, allowing it to "slice" through gummy materials like Aluminum, Copper, and Brass rather than tearing them. This results in superior dimensional accuracy and an exceptional surface finish on the cutoff face.
Core Advantages
The uncoated K10 carbide substrate prevents aluminum chips from welding to the rake face at high temperatures.
Specifically designed for low cutting resistance, ensuring minimal burr formation on thin-walled aluminum tubes.
The 2.0mm width minimizes material waste, which is vital when machining high-value non-ferrous alloys.

"Finally, an insert that doesn't weld aluminum to the tip. The TDJ breaker is incredibly sharp."
— Mike R., USA"Hervorragende Oberflächengüte bei Messingteilen. Absolut empfehlenswert."
— Hans G., Germany"Utilizzato su Alluminio 6061. Finitura a specchio senza bave."
— Luca P., Italy"Very clean cuts on copper rods. Edge stays sharp for a long time."
— Kenji S., Japan"Standard for all our aluminum grooving now. The uncoated K10 is the key."
— Steve L., UKFrequently Asked Questions
A: No. Uncoated K10 is too brittle for steel and will wear out almost instantly. Use TT9030 or TT7220 for steel.
A: Yes, flood coolant is highly recommended when machining Aluminum to help with chip evacuation and heat control.
A: While the insert can handle it, we typically recommend TDC3 or TDC4 for diameters over 30mm to ensure better stability.

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.
