TaeguTec TDXU 3E-0.3 TT9080
Universal 3.0mm Multi-Directional Insert for Steel, Stainless & Exotics
Product Overview
"Which 3mm insert is versatile enough to handle both carbon steel grooving and stainless steel profiling without changing tools?"
The TaeguTec TDXU 3E-0.3 TT9080 is the ultimate "workhorse" for multi-tasking CNC machines. Part of the high-performance T-Clamp family, this 3.0mm width insert is specifically engineered for Multi-Directional Turning. Its XU chipbreaker geometry is a marvel of industrial design, featuring a specialized top-face structure that controls chips during radial plunging and longitudinal turning. The TT9080 PVD grade is TaeguTec's flagship universal substrate, utilizing a nano-structured coating that provides exceptional toughness for interrupted cuts and high heat resistance for continuous turning in Steel (ISO P), Stainless (ISO M), and Superalloys (ISO S).
Key Features
A sub-micron substrate paired with advanced PVD coating ensures long tool life across almost all ISO material groups.
Allows for seamless transitions from grooving to side-turning, significantly reducing turret station usage and setup time.
The 0.3mm corner radius is reinforced to withstand the lateral forces of profiling while maintaining precision tolerances.

"Best universal insert I've used. Handles 1018 steel and 304 stainless equally well. The 3mm width is very stable."
— Robert H., USA"TT9080 ist die perfekte Allround-Sorte. Wir nutzen sie für fast alle Dreh- und Stecharbeiten."
— Klaus M., Germany"Ottimo inserto multi-direzionale. Riduce i tempi di ciclo in modo significativo."
— Giorgio F., Italy"High precision and very predictable wear. Good for profiling complex aerospace parts."
— Hiroshi S., JapanFrequently Asked Questions
A: Yes, but for extremely deep grooves, ensure you are using a holder with sufficient blade depth. TDXU is best optimized for combined turning/profiling.
A: TT9080 is a "Universal" grade with higher toughness, making it better for mixed-material shops and interrupted cuts. TT9030 is more specialized for Stainless/Exotics.
A: While it can cut Aluminum, the PVD coating and geometry are designed for harder materials. For high-speed Aluminum work, the uncoated K10 grade is superior.

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.
