Sumitomo 10T5AEN Carbide Turning Insert Cngg 80 Deg

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 10T5AEN is a carbide turning insert engineered for precision metal cutting in CNC lathe and turning center applications. It features a CNGG insert style with an 80-degree diamond shape, neutral hand orientation, and a TiAlSiN coating applied via PVD process. The proprietary Absotech Bronze coating provides thermal resistance and wear protection at the cutting edge. The insert carries manufacturer grade AC5015S within the AC5000S series and is designed primarily for machining powdered metal workpieces. A corner radius of 0.0078 inches and an ESU chip breaker geometry support controlled chip formation and surface finish consistency during finishing and semi-finishing passes.

This insert is suited for turning operations on powdered metal components, a material category that demands a durable, wear-resistant cutting edge. The AC5000S series targets difficult-to-machine materials where edge stability and coating integrity are critical. Typical applications include OD turning on CNC lathes in precision machining shops, job shops, and production manufacturing environments. Installation and tool changes are performed by machinists and CNC operators using standard insert screw-holding hardware compatible with CNGG-style tool holders.

Key Features

• TiAlSiN-coated carbide with PVD process — Absotech Bronze proprietary designation for enhanced wear resistance
• 80-degree diamond insert shape (CNGG style) with neutral hand for versatile turning setups
• ESU chip breaker geometry designed for controlled chip formation on powdered metal workpieces
• AC5015S manufacturer grade within the AC5000S series, optimized for material grade S10
• Negative rake angle at 13 degrees for edge strength and stability
• Screw-holding method with 0.2031-inch hole diameter for secure clamping in compatible tool holders

Compatibility

Designed for use with CNGG-style screw-on tool holders accepting a 1/2-inch inscribed circle insert. Conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards. ISO code CNGG120402N-SU. Primary workpiece material designation is Powdered Metal (code S).

Installation Notes

Insert seating and torque should follow the tool holder manufacturer specifications for CNGG screw-clamping systems. Power down and lock out the CNC machine before changing inserts. Use the correct Torx or hex key for the clamp screw and inspect the insert pocket and shim for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the AC5015S grade on non-rated workpiece materials.
