Sandvik Coromant 5744236 Milling Insert Grade 530 Cermet

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5744236 is a square, single-sided cermet milling insert in grade 530 designed for use in R290 series milling cutters. It features an uncoated bright finish, a positive rake geometry, and a corner-rounded cutting edge style with a 0.0315-inch (0.80 mm) corner radius. With four usable cutting edges and a maximum depth of cut of 0.4213 inches (10.70 mm), this insert delivers consistent material removal in demanding milling applications. It is held in place by a screw-style clamping method and is identified by ANSI and ISO code R290-12T308M-PM 530 with a PM chip breaker designation. Licensed machinists and CNC machine operators working in production or job-shop environments are the primary installers.

This insert is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and hard materials, corresponding to ISO material groups P, M, N, and H. The PM chip breaker geometry supports a broad range of feed conditions in these workpiece categories. It fits R290 series milling cutter bodies that accept size 12 inserts with a screw-clamping holding method. The insert size code is 12T308. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, and general-purpose milling operations in both production and maintenance machining environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the milling spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully into the pocket and torque the clamping screw per the cutter body manufacturer specification using the appropriate Torx or hex key. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before installing a new insert.
