Sandvik Coromant 5730600 Turning Insert Dcgt 3/8 Ic

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5730600 is a DCGT-style solid carbide turning insert designed for precision external turning operations on difficult-to-machine materials. Part of the CoroTurn 107 series, this insert features a 55-degree diamond shape with a neutral hand orientation and a corner radius of 1/32 inch (0.0313 inch). It carries a dual-layer TiAlN and AlCr2O3 coating applied via PVD process, delivering thermal resistance and edge stability when cutting stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. The insert is screw-held and delivers two cutting edges per insert. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists install this insert in compatible toolholders for light to moderate turning passes.

This insert is primarily targeted at stainless steel (ISO material code M) with secondary application in superalloys and titanium (ISO material code S). These are demanding workpiece materials that require a sharp, reinforced edge geometry and a coating capable of resisting built-up edge and heat at the cutting zone. The UM chip breaker geometry is optimized for finishing and semi-finishing passes in these material groups. Typical installation scenarios include CNC lathes and turning centers running tight-tolerance components in aerospace, medical, and process equipment applications.

Key Features

• DCGT insert style with 55-degree diamond shape and neutral hand orientation
• TiAlN and AlCr2O3 dual-layer PVD coating for heat and wear resistance in high-alloy materials
• UM chip breaker geometry suited for finishing and semi-finishing of stainless steel and superalloys
• 1/32 inch corner radius (0.0313 inch) for controlled edge engagement on tight-tolerance surfaces
• Screw-held mounting method with 0.1732 inch hole diameter for positive clamping
• Two cutting edges per insert for extended tool life per unit

Compatibility

Designed for use in CoroTurn 107 series toolholders accepting DCGT-style inserts with a 3/8 inch inscribed circle. ISO code DCGT 11 T3 08-UM 1115. Verify toolholder seat geometry, clamp style, and clearance code C requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturers specified torque without over-tightening, which can crack the carbide. Index or replace the insert when surface finish degrades or cutting forces increase noticeably; do not continue running a chipped or worn edge on superalloy or titanium workpieces, as it accelerates toolholder seat wear.
