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.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide

How do I choose the correct specification?

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.

How can I check compatibility with my existing setup?

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.

What quantity and price unit am I 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.

How should I choose cutting parameters?

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.

Are bulk discounts available?

Our automatic quantity discount is 6% off for 2–9 items and 12% off for 10 or more items, based on the total product quantity in the cart. Other offers may not combine with this discount; check the applicable offer conditions.

When will my order ship and arrive?

According to our shipping policy, orders are typically processed and shipped within 1–3 business days after confirmation. Delivery generally takes 5–20 business days, depending on your destination and shipping method. Customs clearance or unforeseen delays may affect delivery times. A tracking number is sent by email after shipment.
