Sandvik Coromant 5726546 Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5726546 is a solid carbide grooving tool designed for precision turning and grooving operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built from 1025 solid carbide with a TiCN/TiN finish, it delivers wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding metal-cutting applications. The tool features a 0.006 inch corner radius and a right-hand cut orientation, making it suited for external grooving where tight tolerances and surface finish quality are critical. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this tool as a direct insert or holder-mounted cutting solution in production and job-shop environments.

This grooving tool is intended for use in ferrous and non-ferrous metal turning applications, including steel, stainless, and alloy workpieces. The TiCN/TiN coating provides a hard outer layer that reduces friction and extends cutting life in high-cycle production runs. Its compact profile, with a length of 3.54 inches and a cross-section of 0.71 inches by 0.71 inches, fits standard grooving tool holders used in most CNC lathe setups. It is sold as a single unit and is suited for precision machining environments where consistent geometry is required across multiple passes.

Key Features

• 0.006 inch corner radius for precise groove geometry and controlled surface finish
• Right-hand cut orientation for standard external grooving operations
• 1025 solid carbide substrate for high rigidity and wear resistance
• TiCN/TiN finish reduces friction and extends tool life in continuous cutting
• Compact 3.54 inch length fits standard lathe tool holders
• 0.71 inch by 0.71 inch shank cross-section for stable clamping and minimal deflection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement grooving tool for CNC lathes and turning centers that accept standard solid carbide grooving inserts or holders with a 0.71 inch by 0.71 inch cross-section.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before changing or seating the tool, confirm the machine spindle is fully stopped and all motion controls are locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the tool holder bore and clamping surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut for the holder and workpiece material combination specified in the applicable machining parameters.
