Sandvik Coromant 5755594 Turning Insert VBGT331-UM H13A

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5755594 is a solid carbide turning insert in the VBGT style, designed for precision external turning operations. Carrying the H13A uncoated carbide grade, this insert is built for steel and stainless steel machining where sharp cutting edges and consistent chip control are critical. It features a 35-degree diamond shape (insert shape code V) with a neutral hand orientation, making it suitable for general-purpose turning on CNC lathes and turning centers. The UM chip breaker geometry supports light to medium cutting conditions. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists are the primary installers of this consumable tooling component.

This insert is part of the CoroTurn 107 series, a platform optimized for external turning and profiling of steel and stainless steel workpieces. The 35-degree diamond geometry allows for access to tight shoulders and complex profiles. Primary workpiece material is steel (ISO code P); secondary workpiece material is stainless steel (ISO code M). The screw-clamping holding method keeps the insert securely seated in compatible CoroTurn 107 toolholders during operation.

Key Features

• Solid carbide H13A grade, bright uncoated finish for sharp, low-friction cutting edges
• 35-degree diamond insert shape (code V) for profiling and shoulder turning access
• UM chip breaker geometry suited for light to medium cuts on steel and stainless steel
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible setup on standard and multi-axis turning centers
• 2 usable cutting edges per insert for extended tooling value
• Screw-mount holding method (clearance code B, tolerance code G) for secure, repeatable positioning

Compatibility

Designed for use with CoroTurn 107 series toolholders that accept VBGT-style inserts with a screw clamping method. ISO designation VBGT 16 04 04-UM H13A. Verify toolholder bore and pocket geometry against the insert dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before removing or seating any insert. Use the correct torx or hex key torque driver as specified by the toolholder manufacturer for the clamping screw — do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert.
