TaeguTec XCMT060204TC TT9080 Inserts
Miniature Swiss-Type Turning & Drilling | High-Toughness TT9080 Grade | Box of 10 Pcs
"Which micro-carbide insert is best for precision Swiss-type turning and miniature drilling in stainless steel?"
The TaeguTec XCMT060204TC TT9080 is an ultra-miniature indexable insert custom-built for high-precision micro-machining, Swiss-type lathe turning, internal boring, and miniature indexable drilling. Powered by TaeguTec's advanced TT9080 PVD coating grade, this insert features an exceptionally tough sub-micron carbide substrate paired with a multi-layered nano-PVD shield. It is specifically designed to withstand the high thermal and mechanical shock encountered in small-diameter medical, aerospace, and electronic component manufacturing. The sharp TC chipbreaker geometry generates low cutting resistance, preventing workpiece deflection and work-hardening in gummy materials like 304/316 stainless steel and titanium alloys.
Core Engineering Advantages
TT9080 Nano-PVD Toughness
Optimized sub-micron carbide substrate with high fracture resistance, preventing micro-chipping on fragile miniature cutting edges.
TC Miniature Chipbreaker
Precision ground positive rake structure curls and breaks tiny chips cleanly, eliminating bird-nesting during deep micro-boring.
Ultra-Compact 06 Size
Engineered strictly for sub-8mm boring bars and micro indexable drill bodies where standard inserts cannot fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is TT9080 recommended over TT9030 for XCMT06 inserts?
A: Because XCMT06 inserts have a very small cross-section (6mm edge length, 2.38mm thickness), the TT9080 grade provides superior impact toughness to prevent edge chipping under micro-interrupted cuts.
Q: Are these inserts compatible with sliding-head Swiss lathes?
A: Yes, their miniature geometry and low cutting forces make them exceptional for Swiss-type CNC machines running long, slender bar stock.
Q: How many pieces are in each box?
A: Each factory-sealed container includes 10 original TaeguTec XCMT060204TC TT9080 inserts.

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.
