Sandvik Coromant 5735608 Grooving Insert Corocut 1-2

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5735608 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, which improves wear resistance and heat tolerance during high-speed cutting. The insert features a 3 mm cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 18.7 mm, and a corner radius of 1.5 mm. The neutral hand orientation allows it to be used in a range of toolholder configurations without directional restriction. Machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments will find this insert suited to tight-tolerance grooving passes.

This insert belongs to the CoroCut 1-2 series and is sized for an F-seat toolholder. It is appropriate for use in both roughing and finishing groove passes within the 10 mm to 20 mm depth-of-cut range. The RO chip breaker geometry supports positive rake cutting action, promoting chip control in a variety of workpiece materials. Typical applications include shaft grooving, undercut work, and parting on medium-duty turning setups in job shop and production environments. The insert is designated as a multi-use tool, meaning it can be indexed or repositioned within compatible tooling systems to extend usable life.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD-applied TiAlN coating for extended wear life
• 3 mm cutting width with a 1.5 mm corner radius for precise groove geometry
• Maximum depth of cut of 18.7 mm, compatible with depth range of 10 mm to 20 mm
• RO chip breaker with positive rake for reliable chip formation and evacuation
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible toolholder compatibility
• Multi-use design allows indexing within compatible CoroCut 1-2 toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with CoroCut 1-2 series toolholders accepting an F-seat insert. ISO code N123F2-0300-RO 1105 identifies the exact insert geometry and grade for toolholder matching. Specific machine and toolholder compatibility should be verified against the CoroCut 1-2 toolholder selection guides prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician using the correct torque driver for the insert screw — follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specification, which is not listed here. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is locked before changing inserts. Do not force the insert into the seat; verify the seat and pocket are free of chips or debris before seating. Confirm ISO code and seat size match the toolholder designation before use.
