Sandvik Coromant 5726388 Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5726388 is a solid carbide grooving tool designed for precision grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built from 1025 solid carbide stock, this right-hand-cut tool features a TiAlN/TiN finish that improves surface hardness and heat resistance at the cutting edge. The corner radius measures 0.0059 inches, making it suited to tight-tolerance groove profiles where edge definition is critical. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in production turning environments will find this tool appropriate for interrupted cuts and fine-finish grooving passes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This grooving tool is intended for use in right-hand turning setups on manual or CNC-controlled lathes. The solid carbide construction handles higher cutting speeds than high-speed steel alternatives and holds dimensional stability in high-cycle production runs. It is well suited to applications in aerospace, automotive, and general metalworking where groove geometry must be held to close tolerances. The TiAlN/TiN coating extends tool life in dry and semi-dry cutting conditions.

Key Features

• 1025 solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiAlN/TiN finish for improved heat resistance and extended tool life
• 0.0059-inch corner radius for tight-tolerance groove profiles
• Right-hand cut orientation for standard turning setups
• Consistent edge geometry suitable for high-cycle production runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement grooving tool for use in compatible SANDVIK COROMANT right-hand turning tool holders accepting this insert style and geometry class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the tool holder manufacturer's clamping torque and seating procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the axis drives are disabled before changing inserts or tools. Verify correct tool orientation and corner radius orientation against the job setup sheet before taking the first cut. Follow applicable ANSI B11 machine safety standards during setup and changeover.
