Sandvik Coromant 5729508 Modular Grooving Head C6

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5729508 is a modular grooving head designed for precision external grooving operations on CNC turning centers and lathes. Built to C6 system size, this blade holder head mounts to compatible modular tooling systems and accepts TLG-3189R inserts for repeatable grooving performance. It features through-coolant capability to extend insert life and improve chip evacuation in deep or interrupted groove cuts. The head projects 2.56 inches from center to the cutting position, with a center-to-cutting-edge distance of 1.772 inches. Weighing 3.05 pounds, it is a robust tool body intended for production turning environments where consistent groove geometry is critical.

This grooving head is suited for right-hand cutting operations in both roughing and finishing groove applications on CNC lathes. It is part of the Top Lok series, a modular system that allows rapid head changes without removing the shank from the machine. The blade holder head style accommodates blade style compatibility class 3 tooling. Typical applications include external grooving, part-off preparation, and profile turning on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in high-volume production and job-shop environments. Installation and setup are performed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians.

Key Features

• C6 modular system size for compatibility with Top Lok series tooling shanks
• Through-coolant design supports high-pressure coolant delivery directly to the cutting zone
• Accepts TLG-3189R inserts for precise groove width and depth control
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard OD grooving setups
• Head length projection of 2.56 inches enables reach into workpiece features
• Blade holder head style with blade style compatibility class 3

Compatibility

Compatible with TLG-3189R inserts and designed for use within the SANDVIK COROMANT Top Lok modular tooling system at C6 system size. Blade style compatibility class 3 applies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Disconnect machine power and engage the E-stop before changing modular heads or inserts. Follow the machine tool manufacturer torque and clamping procedures specified for the modular coupling interface. Ensure through-coolant ports are clear and properly sealed before resuming operation.
