Sandvik Coromant 5756054 Turning Insert VNMG332-MF 1105

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5756054 is a VNMG-style solid carbide turning insert from the T-Max P series, designed for external turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Coated with TiAlN via a PVD process, this insert carries manufacturer grade 1105, which is well suited for finishing and medium machining of steel and stainless steel. The insert features a 35-degree diamond shape (shape code V), a neutral hand orientation, and a MF chip breaker geometry that promotes controlled chip formation in light-to-medium cutting applications. With a 3/8 inch inscribed circle and a 1/32 inch corner radius, it delivers precision edge geometry for tight-tolerance turning work.

This insert is designed for use in steel machining applications, with primary compatibility in ISO material group P (steel) and secondary suitability for stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium (ISO material groups M and S). The MF chip breaker geometry is particularly effective in finishing passes where chip control and surface finish are critical. It is typically used in production turning environments by machinists and CNC operators working with standard VNMG toolholders. The ISO designation for this insert is VNMG 16 04 08-MF 1105.

Key Features

• TiAlN coating applied via PVD process for improved wear resistance and edge integrity at elevated temperatures
• Grade 1105 solid carbide substrate suited for steel, stainless steel, superalloy, and titanium workpiece materials
• MF chip breaker geometry engineered for controlled chip formation in light-to-medium finishing cuts
• 35-degree diamond insert shape (VNMG) provides two usable cutting positions per edge, with 4 cutting edges total
• Neutral hand orientation for compatibility with standard VNMG clamp and pin style toolholders
• 0 degree relief angle (clearance code N) with tolerance code M for consistent dimensional repeatability

Compatibility

Designed for use in VNMG-compatible clamp and pin style turning toolholders. ISO designation VNMG 16 04 08-MF 1105 confirms fitment with standard toolholder pockets sized for the 332 insert size code. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium per Sandvik Coromant T-Max P series specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and clamp hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not over-tighten the clamp screw, as this can fracture the carbide insert. Inspect the toolholder pocket and seating surface for debris or damage before seating the new insert.
