Sandvik Coromant 5756162 WCMX53 3040 Indexable Drill Insert

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5756162 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert in the WCMX53 style, designed for use in indexable insert drills operating in metal-cutting and machining applications. The insert carries a manufacturer grade of 3040 and features a multilayer MTCVD-applied TiCN and Al2O3 coating for wear resistance and thermal stability during drilling operations. With an inscribed circle of 0.375 inches, a thickness of 0.1563 inches, and a corner radius of 0.80 mm (0.0315 inches), this insert is sized for insert size 6 tooling. The trigon shape with a 7-degree relief angle and 53 chipbreaker geometry helps control chip flow in through-hole and blind-hole drilling. Installation is performed by machinists and tooling technicians in CNC and manual machining environments.

This insert is suited for right-hand cutting direction in indexable drill bodies that accept WCMX-style inserts at insert size 6. Typical applications include production drilling in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials in industrial machining shops and manufacturing facilities. The MTCVD TiCN and Al2O3 coating stack makes this insert a practical choice for moderate to high cutting speed operations where tool life and edge stability are priorities. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 10 units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with MTCVD TiCN and Al2O3 multilayer coating for extended wear resistance
• WCMX53 insert style with trigon shape and 7-degree relief angle for positive cutting geometry
• 0.375-inch inscribed circle and 0.1563-inch thickness for insert size 6 drill bodies
• 0.80 mm corner radius (0.0315 inches) reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge
• Right-hand cutting direction; chipbreaker designation 53 for chip control in drilling
• Hole diameter of 0.1457 inches (3.70 mm) for secure clamping screw fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for indexable drill bodies that accept WCMX insert style at insert size 6 with a right-hand cutting direction. Consult the drill body manufacturer specifications to confirm insert size, seat geometry, and clamping screw compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert indexing and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine powered down and locked out per applicable safety procedures. Use the correct torque wrench and clamping screw specified by the drill body manufacturer to secure the insert in its seat. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before seating a new insert. Do not exceed the cutting parameters recommended for the 3040 grade and coating system.
