Sandvik Coromant 5726356 Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5726356 is a solid carbide grooving tool designed for precision external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Constructed from 1025 solid carbide with a TiCN/TiN finish, this tool delivers extended wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding machining environments. It features a left hand cut orientation and a 0.006 inch corner radius, making it suited for controlled grooving passes where edge definition and surface finish are critical. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials will find this tool fits standard toolholding systems common in production turning cells.

This grooving tool is intended for use in precision turning and grooving applications where consistent chip control and dimensional accuracy are required. The left hand cut geometry suits setups where conventional right hand tooling would interfere with the workpiece or fixture. The solid carbide construction and coated finish support higher cutting speeds and reduced cycle times compared to uncoated or high-speed steel alternatives. Typical use cases include part-off grooves, undercut profiles, and snap-ring grooves on turned components in job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• 1025 solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiCN/TiN dual-layer coating for improved surface hardness and lubricity
• 0.006 inch corner radius for tight-tolerance groove profiles
• Left hand cut orientation for reverse-direction or live-tooling setups
• Compact geometry: 3.39 inches length, 0.71 inches width, 0.71 inches height

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooving tool for use with compatible SANDVIK COROMANT toolholding systems suited to solid carbide grooving inserts and tool bodies in standard CNC turning applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing tooling. Verify tool overhang and clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before running. Confirm cut direction and spindle rotation match the left hand cut geometry before engaging the workpiece.
