Sandvik Coromant 8020937 Turning Insert Rcmt 06 02 M0

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 8020937 is a round turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to ISO code RCMT 06 02 M0 4415, this insert features a CVD-applied multilayer coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN over a solid carbide substrate. The round insert shape (Shape Code R) provides a full 360-degree cutting edge, extending tool life and reducing changeover frequency. With an inscribed circle of 0.2362 inches and a corner radius of 0.1181 inches, it is engineered for stable, consistent chip formation in steel-cutting applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert as a direct replacement in compatible toolholders.

This insert is suited for turning operations on steel workpieces, corresponding to primary workpiece material classification Steel and secondary material code K. The PR chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation during longitudinal turning and facing passes. It is appropriate for light to medium roughing and finishing operations on steel components in both production and job-shop environments. The RCMT series and insert size code 0602 are standard references used when selecting compatible toolholders and insert pockets.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in RCMT-series toolholders accepting a 0602 insert size with clamp or screw holding. Intended primary application is steel turning. Verify toolholder insert pocket geometry and clamping method before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician with the machine in a safe, powered-down state and the spindle fully stopped. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer when securing the clamping screw or clamp. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for wear, chips, or debris before seating the new insert. Follow your facility's tooling change procedures and relevant OSHA machining safety guidelines.
