TCMT 090204 Turning Insert · CT3000 High-Performance Carbide Insert — For General Turning, Interrupted Cuts & Finishing

The TCMT 090204 (CT3000) is a high-performance triangular carbide turning insert engineered with advanced coating technology and optimized geometry to deliver a balance of wear resistance and toughness. Ideal for turning operations on carbon steels, stainless steels, and alloy steels — offering stable performance and excellent value for money.

• High-strength carbide substrate with multi-layer wear-resistant coating for improved heat and wear resistance.

• Optimized edge geometry reduces vibration and improves surface finish.

• Standardized TCMT 090204 size for broad compatibility with common tool holders and easy replacement.

• Versatile usage: roughing, semi-finish, finishing and light interrupted cuts.

• Consistent dimensional tolerances and surface treatment for automated tool-changing environments.

The CT3000 grade is developed for versatile metal-cutting applications, combining a durable carbide substrate with a thermally stable, multi-layer coating to deliver reliable tool life across a wide range of steels and cast irons. The TCMT 090204 insert features a triangular form designed for stable seat positioning and multiple-edge indexing, lowering cost-per-edge in production environments.

Whether you’re performing high-volume rough turning of carbon steel or precision finishing on stainless components, this insert provides balanced wear control and resistance to chipping under suitable cutting conditions. The low-friction coating minimizes built-up edge and reduces heat generation, extending tool life and lowering maintenance cycles.
