Sandvik Coromant 7247381 Ceramic Turning Insert Rcgx

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 7247381 is an uncoated ceramic turning insert in the T-Max series, designed for high-speed finish and semi-finish turning of hard and abrasive materials. It features a round insert shape (shape code R) with a 1/2 inch inscribed circle and a 5/16 inch thickness. The RCGX style designation indicates a round geometry with a 7-degree relief angle, G-tolerance, and an X chip breaker configuration. This insert is neutral-hand and is held in the toolholder by a clamp. Machinists and CNC turning specialists install it in compatible T-Max toolholders for precision metal removal on hardened steels, cast iron, and similar workpieces.

This insert is suited for external and internal turning operations where ceramic cutting materials provide speed and wear resistance advantages over carbide. The RCGX120700E 6160 ISO code confirms its geometry and grade, making it a direct selection for shops specifying by ISO code. It is sold individually and applies to production turning environments requiring consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy on difficult-to-machine materials.

Key Features

• Uncoated ceramic insert material for high-speed turning of hard and abrasive workpieces
• Round insert shape with 1/2 inch (12.70 mm) inscribed circle for full 360-degree indexing
• 7-degree relief angle (clearance code C) reduces rubbing and supports clean chip formation
• X chip breaker geometry suited for controlled cutting action on finish and semi-finish passes
• G-tolerance classification ensures close dimensional consistency across the cutting edge
• Clamp-held design compatible with standard T-Max series toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max series clamping toolholders that accept RCGX-style round inserts with a 1/2 inch inscribed circle. Verify toolholder pocket geometry and clamp style against the ISO code RCGX120700E 6160 before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct clamp screw torque as specified by the toolholder manufacturer documentation — do not estimate. Handle ceramic inserts carefully; they are brittle and can chip if dropped or impacted against hard surfaces.
