Sandvik Coromant 5726686 Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5726686 is a solid carbide grooving tool engineered for precision external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built from 1025 solid carbide and finished with a TiAlN/TiN multi-layer coating, this tool delivers strong wear resistance and extended tool life in demanding cut conditions. The 0.0079 inch corner radius allows for tight-tolerance groove profiles with minimal burring. It is configured for right-hand cut orientation and is installed by machinists and tooling technicians working in production turning environments.

This grooving tool is suited for use in production machining shops, job shops, and maintenance facilities operating CNC turning equipment. Its compact geometry — measuring 0.71 inches in length, 0.32 inches in height, and 3.47 inches in width — makes it appropriate for applications where close-clearance grooving is required. The TiAlN/TiN finish provides thermal and oxidation resistance, making it effective in dry or semi-dry cutting conditions on steel, stainless, and alloy materials.

Key Features

• 1025 solid carbide construction for rigidity and long tool life
• TiAlN/TiN multi-layer finish for heat and wear resistance
• 0.0079 inch corner radius for precise, tight-tolerance groove profiles
• Right-hand cut orientation for standard CNC lathe tooling setups
• Compact dimensions support close-clearance grooving applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit grooving insert for compatible SANDVIK COROMANT toolholders accepting this geometry and shank profile. Verify holder compatibility against SANDVIK COROMANT toolholder specifications before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or seating any cutting tool. Ensure the tool is properly torqued into the holder per the toolholder manufacturer's specifications and that the cutting edge orientation matches the programmed tool path before resuming operation. Inspect the seating surface and clamping mechanism for wear or contamination prior to installation.
