Sandvik Coromant 5733203 T-max U Outer Drill Cartridge

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5733203 is a T-Max U series outer drill cartridge designed to hold one WCMX-style insert for modular indexable drilling operations. This cartridge mounts in the outer position of a T-Max U drill body, where it controls the cutting edge that establishes hole diameter and surface finish. The WCMX 06 insert geometry is optimized for the demands of the outer cutting zone, including chip evacuation and edge stability. Machinists and tooling specialists working in metalcutting environments install this cartridge as a direct replacement when the outer seat is worn or damaged, restoring drill performance without replacing the entire tool body.

This cartridge is suited for use in T-Max U modular indexable drills operating in turning centers, machining centers, and similar CNC environments. It applies across a range of metal-removal applications including steel, stainless, and cast-iron drilling where consistent hole size and surface quality are required. The outer cartridge position is critical for diameter control, making proper seating and insert selection essential to hole tolerance and tool life.

Key Features

• Outer cartridge position for diameter and surface finish control in T-Max U drill bodies
• Accepts WCMX 06 indexable inserts for fast insert changes without removing the cartridge
• Single-insert design simplifies cartridge identification and replacement logistics
• Lightweight construction at 0.22 pounds minimizes added mass in the tool assembly
• UNSPSC classified under 23291503 for procurement and catalog alignment

Compatibility

Designed for use with SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max U series indexable drill bodies requiring an outer cartridge. Accepts WCMX 06 series inserts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the spindle locked and machine in a safe, de-energized state. Cartridge seating surfaces must be clean and free of chips or debris before installation to ensure proper insert positioning and torque transfer. Follow the drill body manufacturer torque guidance for cartridge clamping screws using calibrated tooling. Inspect the cartridge seat and clamping screw for wear or damage before reinstalling in a tool body.
