Sandvik Coromant 5746688 Modular Turning Profiling Head

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5746688 is a modular turning profiling head designed for precision external and internal profiling operations on CNC lathes. Built to Size 40 system standards, it features a 32 mm head length projection and a 27 mm center-to-cutting-edge distance, making it well-suited for contour turning and profiling passes that demand tight geometric control. The head uses a lever clamping method to hold CNMG 432 inserts securely under cutting loads. Through-coolant capability delivers cutting fluid directly to the cutting zone, supporting thermal management and chip evacuation during continuous or interrupted cuts. This tooling component is installed by machinists and CNC turning specialists working in production and job-shop environments.

The 5746688 is engineered for right-hand cutting direction and integrates into the T-Max P modular tooling system. It is appropriate for turning operations on materials requiring consistent insert clamping and reliable coolant delivery. The through-coolant feature makes it particularly useful in applications involving harder materials or deep-reach profiling where flood coolant alone is insufficient. A minimum hole diameter of 50 mm applies to bore-related setups. This head is suited for both production turning and precision finishing passes in industrial machining environments.

Key Features

• Size 40 modular system interface for compatibility with T-Max P tooling assemblies
• 32 mm head length projection (1.2598 inches) for extended reach profiling
• 27 mm center to cutting edge (1.0630 inches) for precise tool offset management
• Lever insert clamping method ensures secure CNMG 432 insert retention under load
• Through-coolant design directs fluid to the cutting zone for improved chip control and tool life
• Right-hand cutting direction configuration

Compatibility

Designed for use with CNMG 432 inserts, with complete insert compatibility noted for CNMG 120408. Integrates with the T-Max P modular turning system at Size 40. Minimum hole diameter for bore applications is 50 mm.

Installation Notes

This modular profiling head is installed by qualified machinists or CNC turning technicians. Before mounting or changing the head, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or lock-out state per facility lock-out/tag-out procedures. Verify that the mating shank or coupling interface is clean and free of debris before assembly. Confirm insert seating and lever clamp torque using the tooling manufacturer guidelines supplied with the system.
