Sandvik Coromant 5754106 Turning Insert TNMG332-PF 1525

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5754106 is a TNMG332-PF 1525 grade solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal-turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 60-degree triangle insert shape with a neutral hand orientation and a PVD-applied TiCN plus TiN dual-layer coating for wear resistance and edge stability. The inscribed circle measures 3/8 inches (0.3750 inches), the insert length is 0.618 inches, and the corner radius is 1/32 inches (0.0313 inches). This insert is installed and changed by machinist-level CNC operators and toolroom technicians working in production turning environments.

This insert is suited for turning steel as its primary workpiece material (ISO material code P), with secondary application in stainless steel and cast iron (ISO codes M and K). The PF chip breaker geometry is optimized for light-to-medium finishing passes where chip control and surface finish consistency are priorities. It is part of the T-Max P series and carries ISO code TNMG 16 04 08-PF 1525. Typical applications include external diameter turning and facing operations on production lathes in both job-shop and high-volume manufacturing settings.

Key Features

• PVD-coated TiCN plus TiN layers for thermal stability and edge hardness
• 6 usable cutting edges per insert for extended tool life per unit
• PF chip breaker geometry engineered for steel finishing applications
• Neutral hand design compatible with both left-hand and right-hand toolholders
• Clamp and pin insert holding method for positive seating and repeatability
• 60-degree triangle (T) insert shape with 0-degree relief angle (clearance code N, tolerance code M)

Compatibility

Designed for use in TNMG-style toolholders within the T-Max P series platform. Compatible with clamp-and-pin style toolholding systems that accept TNMG 16 04 08 inserts. Verify toolholder pocket geometry and clamping style before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC toolroom technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to engage the clamp or pin per the toolholder manufacturer's seating procedure. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before placing the new insert to ensure proper contact and prevent edge chipping on first cut.
