Sandvik Coromant 5728297 Modular Turning Profiling Head C4

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5728297 is a modular turning profiling head designed for precision internal and external turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the T-Max P series, this left-hand cutting head features a Size C4 system with a C6 head connection, a 62 mm head length projection, and a 27 mm center-to-cutting-edge distance (1.063 inches). It accepts VNMG 160408 inserts held by a wedge clamping method and includes through-coolant capability for improved chip evacuation and tool life in demanding profiling applications. The neck diameter measures 40 mm (1.575 inches) and the minimum hole diameter is 60 mm (2.362 inches).

This profiling head is suited for internal and external profiling passes where modular tooling systems are required for reach and rigidity. It is used in production turning environments, including aerospace, automotive, and general machining shops, where consistent insert indexing and coolant-through performance are critical. The left-hand cutting direction makes it appropriate for specific spindle rotation and approach-direction requirements on both horizontal and vertical turning machines.

Key Features

• T-Max P series modular system with Size C4 designation and C6 head connection for secure coupling
• Left-hand cutting direction with axial rake angle of -4 degrees and radial rake angle of -13 degrees
• Through-coolant support for effective chip control and extended insert life
• Wedge insert holding method for rigid, repeatable VNMG 160408 insert seating
• Head length projection of 62 mm (2.441 inches) enabling reach into deep profiles or bores
• Minimum bore diameter of 60 mm (2.362 inches) for internal turning applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with VNMG 160408 inserts and compatible with C4 modular tooling systems using a C6 head connection interface within the T-Max P series platform.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling specialist. Shut down the spindle and confirm the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before mounting or removing the head. Verify torque specifications per the machine and tooling system manufacturer guidelines before engaging coolant-through connections. Inspect the insert pocket and wedge clamp for wear or debris before seating a new VNMG 160408 insert.
