Sandvik Coromant 5741604 Cutoff Insert 3mm T-max Q-cut

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5741604 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series and features a 3.00 mm cutting width, a 5-degree right-hand lead angle, and a CVD-applied TiCN/TiN coating for extended tool life in steel and cast-iron applications. The insert is held in place by a clamp-style insert holding method and fits an R151.2 insert style seat. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers of this tooling.

This insert is suited for external and internal grooving and parting-off on production turning equipment. The 4E chipbreaker geometry supports reliable chip evacuation during interrupted and continuous cuts. The right-hand orientation and size code 30 seat make it a direct fit for compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholders used in both high-volume production shops and general-purpose turning environments. The 7-degree relief angle reduces rubbing and supports clean surface finishes in the cut groove.

• 3.00 mm cutting width with 0.30 mm corner radius for consistent groove geometry
• 5-degree right-hand lead angle reduces radial cutting forces during parting
• 4E chipbreaker promotes controlled chip flow and reduced chip jamming
• Clamp-style holding method provides rigid insert retention in the toolholder pocket
• R151.2 insert style with size code 30 seat for use in T-Max Q-Cut toolholding systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting the R151.2 insert style with a size 30 seat. Consult the toolholder documentation to confirm insert seat compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Before changing inserts, power down the machine, engage the spindle lock, and confirm all axes are at a safe position. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to release the clamp screw and seat the new insert fully before re-torquing. Inspect the insert pocket for wear or debris before seating a fresh insert to ensure proper contact and alignment.
