35-degree diamond carbide turning inserts with a 0.4mm nose radius
The TaeguTec VNMG160404EA TT9080 is a double-sided, negative 35° rhombic carbide turning insert with an EA chipbreaker and a 0.4mm nose radius. TaeguTec lists TT9080 as a PVD TiAlN–TiN coated grade for general machining of steels, stainless steels and heat-resistant materials. Select the grade and geometry for the workpiece, hardness, machine rigidity and cut stability. Browse our TaeguTec negative turning inserts for related tooling.
Core Engineering Features
TT9080 PVD Coating
Published coating layers: TiAlN–TiN. Grade application ranges: P20–P40, M20–M40 and S20–S40.
EA Chipbreaker
Use the manufacturer's EA recommendations to match feed and depth of cut to the workpiece and finish requirements.
35° Profiling Geometry
A slender diamond shape with a 0.4mm nose radius for contour access, subject to holder angle, clearance and toolpath.

VNMG160404 identifies the 0.4mm nose-radius item. It is not a 0.1–1.2mm radius range. The size code 16 is a nominal designation; use the manufacturer's drawing for the full dimensions.
Cutting Conditions and Applications
Use exact TT9080 and EA recommendations for steel, stainless steel or heat-resistant material machining. Confirm workpiece hardness, interruption level, setup rigidity and coolant method. The previous numerical speed, feed and depth-of-cut tables have not been verified for this exact item and are not retained as universal recommendations.
No insert or coating guarantees the absence of work-hardening, deflection, built-up edge or chipping. Surface finish and tool life depend on the complete cutting setup.
Tool Holders & Boring Bar Resources
Match the complete VNMG160404 designation to the holder manufacturer's specified pocket, clamping system and approach angle. A 35° shape and 9.525mm IC alone do not establish universal compatibility. Related listings include Beyond MVUNR2020K16, Beyond MVUNL2525M16 and Beyond MVQNR2525M16; verify each holder before ordering.

TaeguTec Grade Selection
- TT9080: PVD TiAlN–TiN coated grade for steels, stainless steels and heat-resistant materials.
- TT9225: CVD coated, not nano-PVD. Published coating layers are TiCN–Al2O3–TiCN, with M15–M30 and S15–S30 application ranges.
- TT8115 / TT8125: CVD grades for steel turning. Select using the exact grade's recommendations rather than treating coating type as a universal performance ranking.

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.
