Sandvik Coromant 5962709 Indexable Drill Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5962709 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use with compatible indexable drill bodies in precision metal cutting operations. This insert carries an 881 style designation with a 4044 manufacturer grade and features a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)-applied TiAlN coating for extended tool life under demanding cutting conditions. The inscribed circle measures 3/16 inches (0.1875 inches), thickness is 3/32 inches (0.0937 inches), and the corner radius is 0.40 mm (0.0157 inches). A rectangular shape with a 7-degree relief angle and chipbreaker code 53 make this insert suited for chip control in drilling applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the typical end users.

This insert is intended for use in indexable drilling operations on machining centers, CNC lathes with live tooling, and drill press setups where replaceable carbide inserts are used in place of solid drills. The 881 insert style indicates compatibility with Sandvik Coromant 881-series drill bodies sized to accept an insert size 2 with a 2.50 mm (0.0984 inches) hole diameter. It is suited for production environments where consistent hole quality and insert changeability are priorities across steel, stainless, and similar workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD TiAlN coating for heat and wear resistance
• 881 insert style with manufacturer grade 4044 for indexable drill body compatibility
• Inscribed circle of 3/16 inches (0.1875 inches) and thickness of 3/32 inches (0.0937 inches)
• 0.40 mm corner radius for controlled edge geometry
• Chipbreaker code 53 promotes effective chip evacuation during drilling
• 7-degree relief angle and rectangular shape for consistent insert seating

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement insert for Sandvik Coromant 881-series indexable drill bodies that accept insert size 2 with an 881 insert style designation. Verify drill body specification against insert size 2 and hole diameter of 2.50 mm before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or insert-clamping wrench specified for the drill body pocket to avoid damaging the seating surface. Inspect the pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating the new insert.
