Sandvik Coromant 6536296 Milling Insert 1040 Carbide Tialn

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 6536296 is a square, solid carbide milling insert in the 495 series, designed for face and shoulder milling operations on steel and stainless steel. It carries a TiAlN coating applied by PVD process, which improves heat resistance and wear life at the cutting edge. The insert is neutral-hand, single-sided, and features four usable cutting edges, each ground to a corner radius of 0.80 mm (0.0315 inches). With a positive rake angle of 20 degrees and an ML chip breaker geometry, it is suited for light-to-medium roughing and finishing passes in P and M material grades.

This insert fits 495-series milling cutter bodies and is intended for use in CNC machining centers and milling machines in production and job-shop environments. It is installed by machinists and tooling technicians performing material removal on steel and stainless steel workpieces. The ANSI and ISO catalog designation is 495-09T3M-MM 1040, which can be used to verify fitment with compatible 495-series cutter bodies. Maximum depth of cut is 0.2913 inches. The insert is held in the cutter pocket by a screw.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD-applied TiAlN coating for extended tool life in steel and stainless steel
• Four cutting edges per insert, neutral hand, maximizing value per insert
• Positive rake angle of 20 degrees reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• ML chip breaker geometry suited for light-to-medium chip loads
• Corner radius of 0.80 mm (1/32 inch) reduces edge chipping and improves surface finish
• Screw-lock holding method provides secure, repeatable seating in the cutter pocket

Compatibility

Designed for use with 495-series milling cutter bodies. ANSI and ISO code 495-09T3M-MM 1040 identifies the exact insert geometry and grade for cutter pocket matching. Verify cutter body insert seat specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine powered down and the spindle locked. Clean the insert pocket and seating surfaces before installing to ensure proper seating and prevent premature edge failure. Use the manufacturer-specified torx or hex key to tighten the clamping screw to the cutter body specification — do not over-torque or substitute fasteners. Inspect the cutting edge and corner radius for chips or wear before each use.
