Sandvik Coromant 5726338 Grooving Tool Left Hand Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5726338 is a solid carbide internal grooving tool designed for precision groove cutting in bore and hole applications. Built from 1025 solid carbide with a TiAlN/TiN finish, this tool delivers hardness and wear resistance suited for demanding machining operations. It cuts in a left-hand direction and produces grooves 0.098 inches (2.50 mm) wide with a corner radius of 1.25 mm. The tool fits an 8.00 mm shank and reaches a maximum groove depth of 0.669 inches (17.00 mm). Machinists and tooling specialists install this insert-style grooving tool on compatible CNC lathes and turning centers.

This grooving tool is suited for internal grooving operations in small-bore workpieces, requiring a minimum hole diameter of 6.70 mm. It is appropriate for precision turning applications in production and job-shop environments handling metals where carbide tooling with TiAlN/TiN coating is standard practice. The left-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with specific spindle orientations and toolholder configurations. The compact overall length of 42.00 mm supports use in tight-clearance setups.

Key Features

• Left-hand cutting direction for specific spindle and holder orientations
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and long tool life
• TiAlN/TiN finish provides heat and wear resistance during high-speed cutting
• Groove width of 0.098 inches (2.50 mm) for precise groove geometry
• Maximum groove depth of 0.669 inches (17.00 mm) suits a range of bore depths
• Compact 42.00 mm overall length fits tight-clearance internal grooving setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with compatible SANDVIK COROMANT toolholders and boring bars accepting an 8.00 mm shank diameter. Verify left-hand cutting orientation and minimum bore diameter of 6.70 mm before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the holder and torque the clamping screw according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Confirm left-hand spindle rotation or holder orientation before beginning a cut.
