Sandvik Coromant 5726420 Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5726420 is a solid carbide grooving tool designed for precise grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured from 1025 solid carbide in an uncoated finish, this right-hand-cut tool delivers consistent performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where coating-related heat buildup or edge buildup could compromise finish quality. The 0.002-inch corner radius allows for tight-tolerance groove profiles. At 0.1 pounds, the tool is lightweight for its application class. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals specify this insert-style grooving tool where dimensional accuracy and controlled chip formation are the primary requirements.

This grooving tool is suited for external grooving and cutoff operations on manual lathes, CNC turning centers, and multi-axis machining centers. The right-hand-cut orientation makes it compatible with standard front-turning setups. Its uncoated solid carbide construction is particularly effective in applications requiring sharp cutting edges, such as finishing passes on aluminum, brass, or soft steel, where coated grades may produce built-up edge. The compact profile fits standard grooving tool holders used in production and job-shop turning environments.

Key Features

• 1025 solid carbide substrate for hardness and wear resistance without a coating layer
• Uncoated finish maintains a sharper cutting edge for non-ferrous and finishing applications
• 0.002-inch corner radius supports tight groove tolerances and clean sidewall finishes
• Right-hand-cut orientation for standard front-turning and external grooving setups
• Compact geometry at 3.5 inches length by 0.71 inches width by 0.71 inches height

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement grooving tool for use in SANDVIK COROMANT-compatible grooving and parting tool holder systems. Confirm holder bore and insert seat dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing any grooving tool. Ensure the tool holder clamping mechanism is clean and free of chips before securing the tool. Follow the machine tool manufacturer's torque specifications for clamping screws and verify tool overhang does not exceed recommended limits for the holder in use.
