Sandvik Coromant 5726966 C2L Indexable Clamp Left Hand

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5726966 is a C2L-style clamp designed to secure indexable inserts in compatible turning toolholders during left-hand cutting operations. Weighing 0.25 pounds, this clamp provides the mechanical retention needed to hold carbide or cermet inserts firmly against the toolholder pocket, resisting cutting forces and vibration during the machining pass. It is a direct replacement clamp used by machinists and toolroom technicians working on CNC lathes and manual turning centers where left-hand tool orientation is required. The C2L designation identifies both the clamp style and the cutting direction, making part selection straightforward during toolholder maintenance.

This clamp is suited for turning applications that call for left-hand cutting direction, including face turning, shoulder turning, and profiling operations on CNC or manual lathes. It is typically replaced as part of routine toolholder maintenance when the existing clamp shows wear, chipping, or loss of clamping force. Machinists working with SANDVIK COROMANT indexable toolholder systems that use the C2L clamp style will find this a direct service replacement. It is sold individually, making it practical for single-toolholder repair without the need to purchase a kit.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement clamp for indexable turning toolholders requiring the C2L clamp style with left-hand cutting direction. Specific toolholder compatibility should be verified against the SANDVIK COROMANT toolholder documentation using the C2L industry standard number.

Installation Notes

Installation of indexable insert clamps should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine powered down and all axes at rest. Use the correct torque wrench and clamp screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid over-tightening, which can crack inserts or damage the clamp seat. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamp seat for chips or wear before seating the new clamp. Never attempt clamp replacement while the spindle is live or the machine is in cycle.
