TaeguTec TNMG 160408 MT TT5080

The Toughest Choice for Interrupted Stainless Steel Turning

Product Overview

"Which insert is most reliable for machining 316 stainless steel with heavy interruptions while preventing thermal cracking?"

The TaeguTec TNMG 160408 MT TT5080 is engineered to conquer the most challenging ISO M (Stainless Steel) and ISO S (HRSA) applications. Featuring a specialized PVD coating over an ultra-tough substrate, the TT5080 grade excels where CVD coatings fail—specifically resisting notch wear and edge chipping. The MT chipbreaker combined with a 0.8mm corner radius ensures excellent chip control and edge security, making it the premier choice for medium-to-rough turning in unstable conditions or high-temperature alloys like Inconel.

Key Performance Advantages

TT5080 PVD Stability

Superior thermal shock resistance. Ideal for wet machining and intermittent cutting of gummy materials.

MT Finishing Logic

Designed with a positive rake angle to reduce work hardening and ensure smooth chip evacuation.

Reinforced 0.8 Radius

The 08 radius provides higher edge strength for semi-roughing without sacrificing finish quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this for carbon steel?
A: Yes, it is very tough, but for high-speed carbon steel turning, you might prefer a CVD grade like TT8125 for better wear resistance.
Q: Is the 0.8 radius better for finishing?
A: The 0.4 radius (160404) is better for fine finishing. This 0.8 radius is better for general medium turning where edge strength is required.
Q: Does this insert require high coolant pressure?
A: For stainless and HRSA, constant coolant is always better to prevent work hardening and control temperature.

Pro Tip: For machining 300-series stainless, always ensure your feed rate (fn) is high enough to penetrate the work-hardened layer from the previous pass.
