Sandvik Coromant 6107601 Turning Insert CNMG431-XF GC15

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 6107601 is a CNMG431-XF indexable turning insert from the T-Max P series, manufactured from solid carbide and coated with TiAlN and AlCr2O3 via a PVD coating process. It features an 80-degree diamond insert shape with a neutral hand orientation and four cutting edges. The insert measures 0.492 inches in length with a 1/2-inch inscribed circle and a 1/64-inch (0.0156-inch) corner radius. It is intended for use by machinists and CNC turning specialists working with demanding workpiece materials in production environments.

This insert is optimized for turning stainless steel as the primary workpiece material, with secondary suitability for superalloys and titanium. The XF chip breaker geometry is engineered for light, finishing-type cuts where precise chip control and surface finish are critical. It is suited to both CNC lathes and manual turning centers in job shop and production settings where consistent edge life on difficult-to-machine alloys is required.

Key Features

• TiAlN and AlCr2O3 dual-layer PVD coating for thermal resistance and edge wear on hard materials
• XF chip breaker geometry designed for finishing cuts on stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• Four usable cutting edges per insert for extended tool life per unit
• 80-degree diamond (CNMG) insert shape with 0-degree relief angle and neutral hand orientation
• Clamp and pin insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders
• ISO designation CNMG 12 04 04-XF GC15 for direct cross-reference with standard tooling catalogs

Compatibility

Designed for use in toolholders and boring bars compatible with CNMG431 inserts using clamp and pin holding methods within the SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max P series system. Consult toolholder specifications to confirm pocket geometry, shim, and clamping hardware requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine in a locked-out, zero-energy state before changing inserts. Ensure the insert pocket and shim seating surfaces are clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the insert. Use the correct clamping torque specified by the toolholder manufacturer for CNMG-style clamp and pin systems. Do not force an insert into a pocket that shows wear or damage, as improper seating can cause insert fracture during cutting.
