Manufactured from TaeguTec's premier \u003cstrong\u003eCT3000 uncoated TiCN-based cermet grade\u003c\/strong\u003e, this insert combines ceramic hardness with metallic binder toughness to eliminate Built-Up Edge (BUE) and chemical affinity with ferrous workpieces. Unlike standard tungsten carbide, the CT3000 cermet maintains an exceptionally sharp cutting edge at extreme surface speeds, producing grind-like Ra surface finishes and tight dimensional accuracy on slender or intricate shafts. Paired with the positive-rake \u003cstrong\u003eFG finishing chipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e and a precise 0.8mm corner radius, it controls thin, continuous finishing chips smoothly.
