Sandvik Coromant 5755975 Turning Insert VNMG331-PF 5015

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5755975 is a solid carbide turning insert in the VNMG331-PF 5015 geometry, designed for external turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the T-Max P series, this insert features a 35-degree diamond shape, a neutral hand orientation, and an uncoated bright finish suited to cutting operations where coating would be counterproductive. The inscribed circle measures 3/8 inches (0.3750 inches), overall insert length is 0.638 inches, and the corner radius is 1/64 inches (0.0156 inches). The PF chip breaker geometry is engineered for controlled chip formation. Machinists and CNC programmers running ferrous materials will find this insert well matched to high-precision finishing and light roughing passes.

This insert is intended for primary use on steel workpieces (ISO material code P) and secondary use on cast iron (ISO material code K) in both production and job-shop turning environments. The VNMG geometry with clamp and pin holding method is a common configuration on modern external turning toolholders. With 4 cutting edges per insert, this grade delivers consistent tool life across repetitive production runs. The ISO designation for this insert is VNMG 16 04 04-PF 5015, which can be used to cross-reference compatible toolholder systems. This product is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide, uncoated bright finish - grade 5015 optimized for steel and cast iron applications
• PF chip breaker promotes controlled chip evacuation during finishing and light roughing cuts
• 4 cutting edges per insert for extended tool life and lower cost per edge
• Clamp and pin holding method compatible with standard VNMG-style external turning toolholders
• ISO code VNMG 16 04 04-PF 5015 for straightforward toolholder and catalog cross-reference

Compatibility

Designed for use in VNMG-style external turning toolholders compatible with the T-Max P series. ISO code VNMG 16 04 04-PF 5015 can be used to verify fitment with toolholder manufacturers. Primary workpiece material compatibility is steel (ISO code P); secondary compatibility is cast iron (ISO code K).

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician following the toolholder manufacturer's seating and clamping procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is indexed to a safe position before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and seating pin specified by the toolholder manufacturer - do not overtighten the clamp screw. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for chips or debris before seating a new insert.
