Sandvik Coromant 5736397 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736397 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the CoroCut 1-2 series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, which provides heat resistance and extended tool life in steel and stainless steel applications. The insert has a neutral hand orientation, a cutting width of 7.92 mm (0.3118 inches), and a maximum depth of cut of 28.70 mm (1.1299 inches). Grade 1125 with a GM chip breaker geometry makes this insert well suited for medium to finishing cuts where controlled chip evacuation is a priority.

This insert is used in industrial and production turning operations, primarily in shops running high-volume part programs on CNC turning centers. It fits into CoroCut 1-2 toolholders using insert seat size L. Typical applications include groove turning, face grooving, and parting on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The neutral rake angle of 7 degrees and a corner radius of 0.30 mm (0.0118 inches) support accurate groove geometry and repeatable insert indexing. This is a single-use, indexable insert replaced by machine operators or CNC machinists during scheduled tooling changes.

Key Features

• GM chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation during grooving operations
• Cutting width of 7.92 mm supports grooves at or near this width in a single pass
• Maximum depth of cut of 28.70 mm accommodates deep groove and parting applications
• Neutral hand orientation fits standard CoroCut 1-2 L-seat toolholders without handedness restrictions
• ISO code N123L2-0792-0003-GM 1125 for cross-referencing in tooling catalogs

Compatibility

Designed for use with CoroCut 1-2 series toolholders accepting insert seat size L. ISO catalog reference N123L2-0792-0003-GM 1125 can be used to verify holder compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a CNC machinist or toolroom technician. Power down the machine and engage the spindle lock before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct Torx or clamping key specified for the CoroCut 1-2 holder to seat the insert securely without over-torquing the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating a new insert.
