TaeguTec’s TNMG 160408-MT TT5080 is a high-performance, TiAlN+TiN-coated, grade TT5080 carbide insert. Designed for medium rough turning in steel, cast iron & stainless, with 9.52 mm IC, 4.76 mm thickness, and excellent wear resistance.
The TaeguTec TNMG 160408-MT TT5080 insert combines robust geometry and durable coating to deliver excellent performance in medium-rough turning operations. From the negative triangular TNMG-MT family, this insert features a 60° triangle form, 9.52 mm inscribed circle (IC), 4.76 mm thickness (S), and a corner radius (RE) of 0.8 mm. The TT5080 grade, with dual TiAlN + TiN coating, ensures high wear resistance, especially in steels, cast irons, and stainless steels—even under interrupted cuts or moderate feed/depth. Capable of maximum depth of cut ~3.5 mm and feeds up to ~0.50 mm/rev, it delivers a smooth finish, dependable edge life, and less frequent insert changes. Ideal for demanding shops in automotive, die & mold, aerospace and general engineering. Available for bulk orders—reduce per-part tooling cost and machine downtime.
“Cut more parts, less downtime: Save on tooling costs with TaeguTec TNMG 160408-MT TT5080 inserts – engineered for longer life and superior surface finishes in medium-turning.”
Geometry: Negative triangular insert, 60° included angle, TNMG-MT family.
Grade & Coating: Grade TT5080, with TiAlN + TiN coating.
Size / Key Dimensions: Inscribed Circle (IC) = 9.52 mm, Thickness (S) = 4.76 mm, Corner Radius (RE) = 0.8 mm.
Cutting Parameters:
• Depth of Cut Max (ap): ~3.5 mm
• Feed Range: ~0.17 to ~0.50 mm/rev
Application: Medium rough turning of steel, stainless steel, cast iron. Good for interrupted cuts thanks to strong grade + chip control.
Extended tool life = fewer insert changes, lower tooling cost per part.
Excellent wear resistance under tough conditions thanks to TT5080 + dual TiAlN/TiN coating.
Reliable edge strength, giving good stability in interrupted cuts or medium rough turning.
Smooth cutting, improved surface finish even under moderate feed & depth, reducing rework.
Reduced machine downtime & labour costs.
Automotive (axles, shafts, engine components)
Aerospace (components needing tight tolerance, often stainless or exotic materials)
Die & Mold (where surface finish and consistent performance matter)
General engineering / job shops handling steels, stainless & cast iron parts.
It performs best on steel, cast iron and stainless steel. The TT5080 grade + TiAlN/TiN coating gives good wear resistance in such materials—even with moderate hardness
Inscribed Circle (IC): 9.52 mm
Thickness (S): 4.76 mm
Corner Radius (RE): 0.8 mm
Triangle geometry: 60° negative triangle (TNMG-MT family).
Depth of cut up to ~3.5 mm; feed per revolution from ~0.17 to ~0.50 mm/rev depending on material and machine rigidity. Start toward the lower side on stainless / interrupted cuts.
Because of its durable TT5080 grade, good coating, and strong edge geometry, the tool-life is extended. There’s less frequent re-indexing or insert change, better surface finish which means less rework, and fewer machine stops—overall lowering total cost per component.
It is widely used in automotive (shafts, housings), aerospace (structural/stainless parts), die & mold (medium roughing of tool steel), and general engineering shops producing cast iron or stainless components. Any operation needing robust medium turning with consistent finish will benefit.
