TaeguTec TNMG 160404 MT CT3000
TaeguTec TNMG-160404-MT CT3000: Cermet grade, negative triangular insert for medium-rough turning in steel, stainless steel & cast iron. IC 9.52 mm, depth of cut up to 3.5 mm, corner radius 0.4 mm. High wear resistance & great surface finish.
The TaeguTec TNMG-160404-MT CT3000 is a precision-engineered cermet insert designed for medium-rough turning in demanding materials like steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. With a negative 60° triangular shape (TNMG-MT series), this insert offers a sturdy cutting geometry that handles depths of cut up to ~3.5 mm and feeds from ~0.17 mm/rev to ~0.40 mm/rev.
Its CT3000 grade cermet composition — both at the edge and the body — gives superb wear resistance and heat durability, helping reduce tool changes and enable higher productivity. The 0.4 mm corner radius balances strength and surface finish, making it ideal for components where both dimensional accuracy and aesthetic finish matter.

Key Features & Specs:
-
Geometry: Negative 60° triangular insert (TNMG-MT family), robust shape ideal for medium-rough turning.
-
Size / Key Dimensions: IC = 9.52 mm, Thickness (S) = 4.76 mm, Corner radius (RE) = 0.4 mm. Max Depth of Cut (apmx) ~ 3.5 mm. Feed range: ~ 0.17-0.40 mm/rev.
-
Grade / Material / Coating: CT3000 grade cermet insert. Coated with cermet (body & cutting edge) offering enhanced wear resistance and capable of producing very good surface finish.
-
Applications: Excellent for medium-rough turning of steel, stainless steel, cast iron. Suitable for operations with external 60° inserts (neutral or approx.), capable of taking deeper cuts up to ~3.5 mm.
Why It’s a Best Seller:
-
Reduced downtime due to longer edge life; cermet inserts tend to sustain high temperatures and abrasive wear better than many uncoated carbides in similar conditions.
-
Sharp, stable edges result in better surface finish → less post-machining / polishing.
-
Cost savings per part due to fewer insert changes, fewer rejects / rework.
-
Reliable dimensions and consistency from TaeguTec means predictable results & less trial-and-error.

Frequently Asked Questions
Steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. Designed for medium-rough turning in these materials.
The CT3000 cermet grade delivers fine edge stability and good micro-finish. It handles moderate to fairly heavy depth of cut (up to ~3.5 mm) with solid edge life, reducing chipping & wear.
It is a negative 60° triangular (TNMG-MT) insert. Key dimensions: IC = 9.52 mm; thickness ~4.76 mm; corner radius ~0.40 mm; max depth of cut ~3.5 mm; feed from ~0.17 to ~0.40 mm/rev
CT3000 (cermet) tends to outperform uncoated carbide grades in wear resistance, especially at high temperatures and for finishing or semi-roughing. It offers improved surface finish and longer life in many turning operations, though cost per insert is higher — offset by fewer tool changes and less downtime.
