Sandvik Coromant 7549954 Indexable Drill Insert DS20L5W

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 7549954 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert engineered for precision drilling applications in metalworking and machining operations. This insert carries the DS20 style designation with an L5W chipbreaker geometry and is manufactured to grade 2044. It features a dual-layer TiCN and Al2O3 coating applied via PVD process, delivering hardness and thermal resistance suited for demanding cutting conditions. The 0.8 mm corner radius and irregular insert shape are optimized for controlled chip formation and stable cutting performance. Machinists and CNC operators working in production environments will find this insert designed for consistent, repeatable results across medium to high-volume drilling cycles.

This insert is intended for use in compatible SANDVIK COROMANT indexable drill bodies configured for DS20-style inserts. It is suited for right-hand cutting operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials across general machining, manufacturing, and job-shop environments. The size designation 0508 places it within a specific seat geometry, so users should confirm seat compatibility with the drill body before installation. This insert is commonly specified on CNC machining centers and manual lathes equipped with indexable drill tooling systems.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD-applied TiCN and Al2O3 dual-layer coating for wear resistance and thermal stability
• DS20 insert style with L5W chipbreaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation
• 0.8 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and surface finish
• Manufacturer grade 2044 suited for a broad range of drilling applications
• Right-hand cutting orientation; insert size 0508 for precise seat fitment
• Irregular insert shape designed to index accurately and seat securely in compatible drill bodies

Compatibility

Designed for use in SANDVIK COROMANT indexable drill bodies that accept DS20-style inserts with an 0508 seat size. Verify drill body seat geometry and insert style designation before installation to confirm proper fit.

Installation Notes

Indexable drill inserts should be installed by qualified machinists familiar with CNC tooling and insert seating procedures. Power down and lock out all machine spindles before handling or indexing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key specified by the drill body manufacturer when securing the clamping screw — do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for debris or wear before seating a new insert.
