Sandvik Coromant 5756152 WCMX53 Indexable Drill Insert

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5756152 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable insert drills in metal-cutting applications. Manufactured to the WCMX insert style with the H13A grade, this insert features an uncoated bright finish and a trigon shape with a 7-degree relief angle. The inscribed circle measures 0.375 inches (9.53 mm), the thickness is 0.1563 inches (5/32 inches), and the corner radius is 0.80 mm (0.0315 inches). Licensed machinists and tooling technicians install this insert as a replaceable cutting element in modular drill bodies to machine a wide range of workpiece materials.

This insert is suited for drilling operations in machining centers, CNC lathes with driven tooling, and manual or automated drill press setups where indexable insert drills are used. The WCMX geometry and 53 chipbreaker designation make it appropriate for short-hole drilling in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it a standard restocking item for tooling cribs and job shop inventories.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with uncoated bright finish for consistent dimensional tolerance
• WCMX insert style with trigon shape and 7-degree relief angle for positive cutting action
• Inscribed circle of 0.375 inches (9.53 mm) and insert size 6 classification
• Corner radius of 0.80 mm for controlled edge geometry at the drill periphery
• 53 chipbreaker for effective chip formation during through-hole and blind-hole drilling
• Mounting hole diameter of 0.1457 inches (3.70 mm) for secure screw-clamp retention in compatible drill bodies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement indexable drill insert for use in WCMX-seat indexable insert drill bodies requiring an H13A grade, size 6, trigon insert with a 53 chipbreaker.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine in a powered-off, locked-out state. Use the correct Torx or hex key torque driver specified by the drill body manufacturer to seat and clamp the insert; do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert seat and clamping screw for debris or damage before seating a new insert. Follow the drill body manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when indexing or replacing inserts.
