TaeguTec TDT 3.00E-1.5 K10
Precision 3.0mm Full-Radius Carbide Insert for Aluminum and Cast Iron
Product Overview
"Which 3mm profiling insert provides the sharpest edge for machining Aluminum and preventing built-up edge?"
The TaeguTec TDT 3.00E-1.5 K10 is a high-precision multi-directional turning insert featuring a full radius (1.5mm) profile. This geometry is essential for complex contouring, 3D profiling, and generating large fillets in a single pass. Unlike coated grades that may have rounded cutting edges, the K10 uncoated carbide grade is ground to an extremely sharp state. This sharpness is critical for ISO N (Aluminum, Copper, Brass) applications to prevent material adhesion and "smearing." Additionally, its high micro-hardness makes it a stable performer for finishing Gray Cast Iron where high abrasive wear resistance is required without the need for thick coatings.
Core Advantages
The 1.5mm radius on a 3.0mm width body allows for smooth, multi-axis profiling and high-quality circular grooving.
The uncoated, fine-grained substrate maintains a keen edge, significantly reducing cutting forces and heat generation in soft metals.
Optimized for finishing, this insert is capable of achieving near-mirror surface finishes in non-ferrous alloys.

"Superior performance on 6061 Aluminum. The full radius creates a beautiful blend on our aerospace fittings."
— Mark L., USA"Hervorragende Schärfe. Keine Aufbauschneide bei Messingbearbeitung."
— Klaus M., Germany"Ottimo per la finitura della ghisa grigia. Mantiene il raggio costante a lungo."
— Giovanni T., Italy"Perfect for profiling on our Swiss machines. The K10 edge is remarkably sharp out of the box."
— Hiroshi W., JapanFrequently Asked Questions
A: No. Uncoated K10 is not recommended for Steel due to rapid crater wear and lack of thermal coating. Use TT9080 or TT7220 for ferrous materials.
A: It is a "Full Radius" insert. This means the entire cutting edge is a semi-circle, which is ideal for circular grooves and smooth profiling without leaving steps or "scallops" on the workpiece.
A: Yes. For Aluminum and Copper alloys, high coolant flow helps flush chips and keeps the cutting edge cool, ensuring the sharp K10 edge lasts longer.
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.
