Sandvik Coromant 5755736 Turning Insert VBMT332-MF 2015

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5755736 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to VBMT insert style with a 35-degree diamond shape, this insert carries grade 2015 and features a multilayer TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN coating for extended wear resistance and thermal protection at the cutting edge. The inscribed circle measures 0.375 inches, insert length is 0.6223 inches, and the corner radius is 0.03125 inches (1/32 inch). The ISO designation is VBMT 16 04 08-MF 2015. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators in job shops, production facilities, and maintenance machining environments.

This insert is suited for finish and medium turning operations on a range of workpiece materials. The MF chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation at light to moderate depths of cut. The screw-lock holding method (clearance code B, tolerance code M) provides positive clamping security in compatible VBMT-style toolholders. Typical applications include shaft turning, facing, and contouring on steel and cast iron components where tight tolerances and consistent surface finish are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using the appropriate Torx or hex key for the insert clamping screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Power down and lock out the machine before indexing or replacing inserts. Inspect the toolholder pocket and seating surface for chips or damage before seating the new insert. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque procedure to avoid insert cracking or improper seating.
