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
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.
