Sandvik Coromant 5726500 Grooving Tool Left Hand Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5726500 is a left-hand grooving tool designed for precision grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Constructed from 1025 solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for interrupted cuts and tight-tolerance groove profiles. The tool features a 0.008-inch corner radius and a TiCN/TiN finish that reduces friction and extends cutting edge life across a range of workpiece materials. Machinists and tooling specialists working in production or job-shop environments will find this tool suited to demanding grooving applications where dimensional consistency matters.

This grooving tool is configured for left-hand cut orientation, making it appropriate for specific tooling setups where right-hand tooling cannot be used or where groove geometry requires the cutting edge to engage the workpiece from the left. It is suited for use on external grooving operations in metalworking applications. The solid carbide construction supports use at higher cutting speeds compared to high-speed steel alternatives, and the TiCN/TiN coating provides additional surface hardness to reduce built-up edge.

Key Features

• 1025 solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• Left-hand cut orientation for specific tooling configurations
• 0.008-inch corner radius for precise groove profile control
• TiCN/TiN finish reduces friction and extends tool life
• Compact form factor: 3.5 inches long, 0.71 inches wide, 0.71 inches tall

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooving tool replacement for CNC lathe and turning center tooling systems that accept this form factor and left-hand cut geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine is powered down and in a safe state before changing or indexing tooling. Confirm proper tool holder clamping torque per the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming cuts. Verify tool overhang and seating in the holder to prevent chatter and maintain dimensional accuracy.
