Sandvik Coromant 5755996 Turning Insert Vcmw 333FP CD10

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5755996 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal-cutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to VCMW style geometry with a 35-degree diamond shape, this uncoated (bright finish) insert features a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 3/64-inch corner radius (0.0469 inches). The CD10 grade designation indicates an uncoated solid carbide substrate suited for finishing operations. With a clearance code of C and tolerance code of M, it conforms to standard VCMW insert specifications. The ISO designation for this insert is VCMW160412FP CD10. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this insert in compatible screw-clamp toolholders for turning applications requiring tight tolerances and sharp cutting edges.

This insert is suited for finish turning applications where an uncoated carbide grade is preferred, such as when machining non-ferrous materials, plastics, or composites where coating adhesion or edge build-up is a concern. The W chip breaker geometry assists in controlling chip flow at lighter depths of cut and lower feed rates typical of finishing passes. It fits into VCMW-style screw-held toolholders commonly used in production and jobshop turning environments. The insert is sold individually; the minimum order quantity is 5 units.

Key Features

• VCMW insert style with 35-degree diamond shape for access to tight shoulders and contours
• CD10 solid carbide grade, bright/uncoated finish for sharp, built-up-edge-resistant cutting edge
• 3/8-inch inscribed circle (0.3750 inches) and 3/16-inch insert thickness (0.1875 inches)
• 3/64-inch corner radius (0.0469 inches) for fine finish and low radial force at light depths of cut
• W chip breaker geometry designed for finishing-range feeds and depths
• Screw-clamp holding method for positive insert location and repeatable tool life

Compatibility

Designed as a screw-held replacement turning insert for VCMW-style toolholders accepting a size 333 insert with a 35-degree diamond geometry. Verify toolholder pocket angle and screw hole diameter of 0.1732 inches before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and manufacturer-specified clamping screw to secure the insert in the toolholder pocket without over-tightening, which can crack the carbide substrate. Inspect the toolholder pocket for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper contact and tool height repeatability.
