Sandvik Coromant 5726659 Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5726659 is a solid carbide grooving tool designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built from 1025 solid carbide and finished with a TiCN/TiN coating, it delivers wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding cutting environments. The tool features a left-hand cut orientation and a 0.008-inch corner radius, making it well suited for tight-tolerance grooving passes where edge geometry directly affects surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Machinists and CNC operators working in metal-removal applications rely on this tool for consistent performance across production runs.

This grooving tool is intended for use in turning and parting operations on metalworking lathes and CNC turning centers. The left-hand cut configuration suits specific spindle orientations and toolholder setups where right-hand tooling is not appropriate. The 0.008-inch corner radius accommodates fine-finish grooving work and applications where sharp corner transitions must be held within close tolerances. It is a single-piece solid carbide construction, meaning no insert replacement is required — the entire tool body is the cutting element.

Key Features

• 1025 solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in metal cutting
• TiCN/TiN finish improves surface hardness and reduces tool wear at elevated cutting temperatures
• Left-hand cut orientation for compatibility with specific toolholder and spindle configurations
• 0.008-inch corner radius for tight-tolerance grooving and fine-finish applications
• Compact geometry: 3.47 inches long, 0.71 inches wide, 0.71 inches tall
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds — minimal mass for reduced overhang deflection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide grooving tool for use in compatible SANDVIK COROMANT toolholding systems and standard turning center setups requiring a left-hand cut grooving tool with a 0.008-inch corner radius.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing any tooling. Confirm that the toolholder bore and clamping mechanism match the shank geometry of this tool before applying clamping torque. Inspect the cutting edge for chips or coating damage before each use, as solid carbide tools can develop micro-fractures that affect cut quality.
