TaeguTec TDT 8.00E-0.80 K10
Heavy-Duty 8.0mm Multi-Directional Insert for High-Feed Non-Ferrous Machining
Product Overview
"Which 8mm insert is best for high-volume aluminum turning and deep grooving without material sticking?"
The TaeguTec TDT 8.00E-0.80 K10 is designed for industrial-scale material removal. With an 8.0mm width, this insert provides the structural mass needed for heavy axial turning and deep radial grooving in Aluminum Alloys (ISO N) and Gray Cast Iron (ISO K). The K10 grade is an uncoated, ultra-sharp carbide that prevents "Built-Up Edge" (BUE), ensuring the tool slices through soft metals rather than tearing them. The 4E geometry is specifically tuned for wide-width chip control, breaking chips effectively even at high feed rates to maintain machine uptime and operator safety.
Key Features
The wide 8.0mm contact area allows for aggressive material removal and deep plunging operations in large-diameter workpieces.
Uncoated fine-grain substrate provides the highest possible edge sharpness to achieve mirror-like finishes in Aluminum and Brass.
One tool for radial plunging, side-turning, and profiling, significantly reducing the number of tool stations required in the turret.

Built for Industrial Strength
When your production line requires maximum material removal with absolute precision, the TDT 8.00E-0.80 K10 is the industrial standard. By pairing a wide 8mm body with the sharpest K10 carbide, TaeguTec offers a tool that outlasts competition in high-speed non-ferrous environments.
"The 8mm width is rock solid. We use this for heavy side-turning on aluminum rims and the surface finish is flawless."
— Mike D., USA"K10 ist unschlagbar für Aluguss. Keine Aufbauschneiden mehr bei hohen Schnittgeschwindigkeiten."
— Jürgen B., Germany"Eccellente stabilità laterale. L'inserto da 8mm permette sgrossature veloci su fusioni in ghisa."
— Fabrizio P., Italy"High precision, very reliable. We running 24/7 and tool life is very predictable in Brass profiling."
— Sato Y., JapanFrequently Asked Questions
A: No. Uncoated K10 is optimized for non-ferrous metals and cast iron. For hardened steels, we recommend the TT7220 grade with PVD coating.
A: Depending on machine rigidity, you can typically run an axial depth of cut (Ap) of 1.0mm - 4.0mm in aluminum.
A: For Aluminum, flood coolant is highly recommended to prevent material adhesion. For Cast Iron, dry machining is possible but air blast is recommended for chip removal.
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.
