Sandvik Coromant 5726444 Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5726444 is a solid carbide grooving tool designed for precision external or internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built from 1025 solid carbide stock, it carries a TiAlN/TiN physical vapor deposition finish that extends tool life by improving heat and wear resistance during interrupted cuts and continuous grooving passes. The right-hand cut orientation suits standard lathe setups. A 0.002-inch corner radius allows crisp, tight groove profiles with minimal material disruption at the groove floor and walls. Machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments will find this insert-style or solid tool ready for close-tolerance grooving work.

This grooving tool is suited for use in metal-cutting applications where tight groove geometry and finish quality are required. The TiAlN/TiN coating performs well across a range of workpiece materials including steel and alloy steels. Its right-hand orientation makes it compatible with conventional turret and gang-tool lathe configurations. Typical applications include snap-ring groove cutting, undercut machining, and O-ring groove preparation in production turning environments. The tool ships individually and is intended as a direct replacement or supplemental tooling unit for existing grooving setups.

Key Features

• 1025 solid carbide construction for rigidity and thermal stability during grooving operations
• TiAlN/TiN finish improves surface hardness and oxidation resistance at elevated cutting temperatures
• 0.002-inch corner radius enables tight-tolerance groove profiles and clean groove walls
• Right-hand cut orientation for standard lathe and turning center turret configurations
• Single-piece packaging suitable for toolroom replenishment or low-volume replacement needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental grooving tool for CNC lathes and turning centers configured for right-hand cut solid carbide tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or seating any tooling. Secure the tool in the holder to the tool manufacturer and machine builder specifications using appropriate torque tooling — do not overtighten or improvise clamping. Verify tool stick-out, centerline height, and orientation before resuming cutting operations.
