Sandvik Coromant 5736331 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736331 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the ISO code N123J205000008TMH13A and belongs to the CoroCut 1-2 series, which uses a dual-edge insert clamping system engineered for stability and repeatability in grooving applications. The uncoated H13A carbide grade provides high hardness and edge retention, making it suited for finishing cuts in steel, stainless steel, and similar materials. The insert features a TF chip breaker geometry and a neutral hand orientation, accepting cuts from either side of a groove. Machinists and CNC operators handling precision grooving work are the primary users of this insert.

This insert is intended for grooving, undercutting, and light parting operations on production turning equipment. The 5 mm cutting width and 0.80 mm corner radius support consistent groove geometry in medium to small diameter workpieces. With a maximum depth of cut of 2.70 mm and a rake angle of 7 degrees, it is configured for controlled chip formation in moderate-feed finish grooving. It fits toolholders compatible with the CoroCut 1-2 N123J2 insert style and is appropriate for both production shop and tool room environments where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid carbide H13A grade, uncoated bright finish for sharp edge retention and low friction in finishing operations
• TF chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation during grooving
• 5 mm cutting width with a 0.80 mm corner radius for precise groove profiles
• Maximum depth of cut of 2.70 mm, within the 2.00 to 3.00 mm depth-of-cut range
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible toolholder compatibility
• Part of the CoroCut 1-2 series, compatible with N123J2 insert style toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with CoroCut 1-2 series toolholders accepting the N123J2 insert style. The ISO code N123J205000008TMH13A and insert size designation 500 identify the precise seat geometry required. Verify toolholder seat compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and replaced by a machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the turning center before seating or removing the insert. Use the correct torque wrench and clamping screw specified for the CoroCut 1-2 toolholder to avoid over-torquing the insert seat. Inspect the toolholder seat for chips or debris before installing a new insert, as contamination can affect seating accuracy and edge geometry.
