Introducing the TaeguTec WNMG 080408 MT TT8125 – a high-performance carbide insert designed to help you maximise productivity and minimise cost per component. Built on the proven WNMG-MT negative 80° trigon geometry, this 12.70 mm IC insert with 4.76 mm thickness and 0.8 mm corner radius is ideal for medium-rough turning of steels, cast iron and stainless steel.

Hook / Attention Line

“Cut more parts, with less downtime – lower your cost per component by upgrading to the WNMG 080408 MT TT8125 and experience longer tool-life, faster cutting, and superior finish!”

Key Features & Specs

  • Geometry: Negative trigonal insert with 80° included angle (80° trigon) – family WNMG-MT (“Negative 80° Trigon inserts”).

    Size: IC 12.70 mm, thickness S 4.76 mm, cutting edge length L 8.7 mm, corner radius (RE) 0.8 mm for the 080408 version.

    Grade: TT8125 (also shown as TT8125B) – a CVD-coated carbide grade designed for general turning of steels with a good combination of wear resistance and toughness. 

  • Coating: TiCN + Al₂O₃ + TiN (multi-layer CVD coating) for extended life and excellent wear performance. 

  • Applications: Designed for medium-rough machining of steels, cast iron and stainless steel with this geometry family.

  • Recommended ISO workpiece range: P/M/K (steel / stainless / cast iron) – the grade TT8125 is especially tuned for steel P‐group

Why It’s a Best Seller

  • Less downtime: The robust geometry + TT8125 grade mean fewer insert changes, fewer stoppages and smoother process stability.

  • Better surface finish: The 0.8 mm corner radius and precision insert design make it easier to hit tighter surface-finish targets and maintain repeatable quality.

  • High wear resistance: The TiCN/Al₂O₃/TiN CVD coating on TT8125 gives excellent resistance to flank wear and edge breakdown when cutting steels – it gives you more parts per insert.

  • Cost-per-component drops: With longer life, fewer tool swaps, and reliable performance, the true cost of the insert reduces on a per-part basis.

  • Trusted geometry & brand: The WNMG-MT family has been well-established for turning operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

The TT8125 grade is optimised for steels (ISO P-group) and is suitable for some stainless steels and cast irons.

It uses the WNMG-MT family: negative 80° trigon, IC 12.70 mm, thickness 4.76 mm, and in the 080408 size version the cutting edge length L ≈ 8.7 mm, corner radius 0.8 mm

The TT8125 grade uses a TiCN + Al₂O₃ + TiN multi-layer CVD coating which enhances wear resistance, reduces built-up edge and improves tool life, especially in steel turning.

Because the tailored combination of geometry + grade means better life, better finish, fewer interrupts. In high-volume operations even small improvements in insert life add up to real savings.
