Sandvik Coromant 5736508 Grooving Insert Corocut 1-2

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736508 is a solid carbide grooving insert for use in CoroCut 1-2 series toolholders. It carries the ISO designation N123K2-0600-0008-TM 1125, with a 6 mm (0.2362 inch) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 23 mm (0.9060 inch). The TM chip breaker geometry produces a positive rake angle, promoting controlled chip formation during grooving operations. The bright, uncoated finish suits applications where coating interaction with the workpiece material is a concern. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC turning center operators working in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is designed for external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The neutral hand orientation allows use in both left- and right-hand tooling configurations. With a cutting height of 4.35 mm (0.1713 inch) and a corner radius of 0.80 mm (0.0315 inch), it suits precision grooving in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The K2 insert size seats in compatible CoroCut 1-2 toolholders and cartridges. It is appropriate for applications requiring clean groove walls and consistent depth repeatability across medium to high production volumes.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in manufacturer grade 1125 for consistent edge integrity
• 6 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 23 mm (0.9060 inch)
• TM chip breaker with positive rake for controlled chip evacuation
• Neutral hand — compatible with both left-hand and right-hand toolholders
• Bright, uncoated (PVD process class) finish for clean, unmodified cutting edge
• 0.80 mm corner radius reduces stress concentration at groove shoulders

Compatibility

Designed for use in SANDVIK COROMANT CoroCut 1-2 series toolholders and cartridges accepting K2 insert seat size. ISO code N123K2-0600-0008-TM 1125 identifies the exact toolholder seat and clamping configuration required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing any insert. Use the manufacturer-specified torx or clamping key to secure the insert in the toolholder pocket — do not overtighten by feel alone; follow the toolholder documentation for clamping procedure. Inspect the insert seat and clamping screw for wear or contamination before each insert change to ensure accurate seating and repeatable tool offset.
