Sandvik Coromant 5741302 Turning Insert Round 6060 Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5741302 is a solid carbide, uncoated turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the RPGX insert style, featuring a round shape (shape code R) with a positive 11-degree relief angle and an X-style chip breaker geometry. The manufacturer grade is 6060, a bright uncoated carbide substrate suited for specific cutting applications where coating is not required. Insert thickness is 0.3125 inches and the inscribed circle (IC) measures 0.3750 inches. Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians using a clamp-style holding method.

This insert is used in turning operations on lathes and turning centers in both production and job-shop environments. The round insert shape provides a large cutting edge radius, making it well suited for profiling, finishing passes, and continuous turning where edge strength and smooth surface finish are priorities. The ISO code for this insert is RPGX090700E 6060, and the insert size code is 35, which can be used to cross-reference compatible toolholders and insert seats from Sandvik Coromant and compatible third-party systems.

Key Features

• Round insert shape (code R) for profiling and continuous turning
• 11-degree relief angle with clearance code P for positive cutting geometry
• X chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation
• Solid carbide, bright uncoated substrate — grade 6060
• Clamp-style holding method for secure seating in compatible toolholders
• ISO code RPGX090700E 6060 for cross-reference and toolholder matching

Compatibility

Designed for use in clamp-style toolholders accepting RPGX round inserts with a 3/8 inch inscribed circle and insert size code 35. Verify toolholder seat geometry and ISO code RPGX090700E 6060 when selecting a compatible holder. Confirm grade and geometry suitability for your specific workpiece material and cutting conditions.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement and seating should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine powered down and all axes at a safe rest position. Use the appropriate torx or hex key per the toolholder manufacturer specification to secure the clamp; do not overtighten. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Follow your facility safety procedures and applicable shop standards when handling carbide inserts, as edges are extremely sharp.
