Sandvik Coromant 6107607 Turning Insert CNMG432-XM GC15

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 6107607 is a CNMG432-XM GC15 grade solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting in CNC lathe and turning center applications. Coated with TiAlN and AlCr2O3 via PVD process, it delivers wear resistance and thermal stability when cutting demanding workpiece materials. The insert measures 0.4762 inches in length with a 1/2-inch inscribed circle, a 3/16-inch thickness, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. With four cutting edges and an 80-degree diamond shape, it maximizes tool life per insert. It is installed by CNC machinists and tool and die professionals in production turning operations.

This insert is engineered primarily for stainless steel (ISO material code M) and performs in secondary applications involving superalloys and titanium (ISO material code S). The XM chip breaker geometry is suited to medium cutting conditions where chip control is critical. The T-Max P series designation indicates compatibility with standard CNMG-style insert pockets and clamping systems using clamp and pin holding methods. Typical use cases include OD turning of aerospace components, medical parts, and stainless fabrication work where consistent surface finish and tool reliability are required.

Key Features

• GC15 grade with TiAlN and AlCr2O3 PVD coating for extended wear resistance on difficult-to-machine materials
• XM chip breaker geometry optimized for medium turning of stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• 80-degree diamond insert shape (CNMG) with 4 usable cutting edges for cost-effective tool management
• 1/32-inch corner radius for a balance of edge strength and surface finish capability
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible application in standard CNMG toolholders
• Clamp and pin holding method provides rigid, repeatable insert indexing

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard CNMG 12 04 08 insert pockets (ISO code CNMG 12 04 08-XM GC15) with clamp and pin holding systems. Fits toolholders accepting a 1/2-inch inscribed circle CNMG-style insert. Consult toolholder documentation to confirm pocket geometry and clamping method before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom personnel. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque driver for the clamping screw as specified by the toolholder manufacturer - do not overtighten, as this can crack the insert or damage the pocket seat. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for wear or debris before seating a new insert.
