Sandvik Coromant Product Lines
Turning Inserts
Sandvik Coromant’s turning portfolio is anchored by the CoroTurn® 107 and CoroTurn® 111 insert systems, which feature patented clamping designs for secure insert retention and precise positioning. The CoroTurn® 300 series is designed for heavy roughing with reinforced cutting edges that withstand the most demanding interrupted cuts. For finishing, the CoroTurn® 104 inserts with Wiper geometry achieve Ra 0.4 um surface finishes at 2x conventional feed rates. The CoroTurn® SL system enables silent, vibration-free turning of long overhangs using damped boring bars. Popular insert shapes include CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, TNMG, and CCMT across all chipbreaker geometries.
Milling Cutters
The CoroMill® family is Sandvik Coromant’s flagship milling platform. CoroMill® 390 is the industry-standard 90-degree shoulder mill, available with both indexable inserts and as a modular system. CoroMill® 245 is a versatile 45-degree face mill suitable for general-purpose face milling, interpolation milling, and chamfering. CoroMill® 345 features 45-degree lead angle with wiper inserts for high-quality surface finishing. CoroMill® 490 is a true 90-degree square shoulder mill producing sharp corners without step marks. The CoroMill® 590 high-feed mill delivers exceptional metal removal rates in mold and die applications. CoroMill® 790 round insert cutters handle heavy roughing in tough materials with superior edge strength.
Drilling Tools
CoroDrill® encompasses Sandvik Coromant’s complete drilling range. The CoroDrill® 880 indexable drill system uses stepped-tip geometry for self-centering and produces holes with excellent diameter tolerance (IT8-IT9). Available in 2xD, 3xD, and 5xD versions. The CoroDrill® 460 solid carbide drill with internal coolant is designed for deep-hole drilling up to 20xD. CoroDrill® Delta-C is a high-performance solid carbide drill for precision holes in aerospace and medical applications. The CoroDrill® 870 exchangeable-tip drill system reduces setup time and inventory by allowing tip changes without removing the tool body from the machine.
Grooving & Threading
Sandvik Coromant’s CoroCut® system covers grooving, parting-off, and profiling operations. CoroCut® 1-2 offers single and double-edged inserts for external and internal grooving with widths from 1.5 to 10 mm. CoroCut® QD is specifically designed for parting-off with excellent chip control and high rigidity. For threading, the CoroThread® 266 system provides full-profile and partial-profile threading inserts with iLock clamping for secure positioning. The CoroThread® 260 is a thread whirling system for high-precision external threads on Swiss-type lathes.
