Sandvik Coromant 5741261 Round Ceramic Turning Insert

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5741261 is a round ceramic turning insert designed for high-speed metal cutting applications in CNC and manual turning operations. This insert uses a titanium nitride (TiN) coating applied via PVD process, which improves surface hardness and wear resistance during interrupted or continuous cuts. With a neutral hand orientation and chamfered cutting edge style, it suits a broad range of turning setups. The insert follows ISO code RNGN 15 07 00T20015 650 and belongs to the T-Max series, a platform commonly used in production machining environments. It is sized at a 5/8-inch inscribed circle with an insert thickness of 5/16 inch.

This insert is intended for use in production turning where ceramic grade tooling delivers performance advantages over carbide, particularly in hard-part turning, cast iron, and high-temperature alloy applications. The clamp-held, round insert shape (style code RNG) fits toolholders designed for R-style inserts with a neutral clearance code N and tolerance code G. It is well suited for machining shops running the T-Max toolholder system and requiring consistent grade 650 ceramic inserts for finishing or semi-finishing passes.

Key Features

• Grade 650 ceramic insert material for high-speed, high-temperature cutting performance
• TiN coating via PVD process increases surface hardness and extends edge life
• Round insert shape (RNG style) with chamfered cutting edge for improved edge strength
• Neutral hand orientation compatible with left- and right-hand toolholder setups
• Clamp-held mounting method for secure seating in T-Max series toolholders
• ISO code RNGN 15 07 00T20015 650 for precise cross-reference and toolholder matching

Compatibility

Designed for use in T-Max series toolholders accepting RNG-style round inserts with a neutral clearance code N and tolerance code G. Verify toolholder seat geometry and clamping system against the ISO code RNGN 15 07 00T20015 650 before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate insert key or torx wrench as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the clamping screw — do not overtighten. Inspect the toolholder seat for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure proper contact and prevent premature edge failure.
