Sandvik Coromant 5736642 Grooving Insert T-max Q-cut

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736642 is a solid carbide grooving insert engineered for precision external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the T-Max Q-Cut series, this insert carries insert style designation N151.2 and is finished with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for improved heat resistance and tool life at elevated cutting speeds. The cutting width measures 0.178 inches (4.52 mm) with a corner radius of 0.0075 inches (0.19 mm). The neutral hand orientation makes it suitable for a wide range of grooving setups. Manufacturer grade 1125 with a 4G chip breaker geometry provides controlled chip evacuation in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers of this insert.

This insert is designed for use in turning and grooving applications where tight dimensional tolerances and consistent surface finish are required. It fits toolholders compatible with the N151.2 insert seat size 40. The neutral rake and 7-degree rake angle support stable, consistent cuts in both roughing and semi-finish grooving passes. The ISO code for this insert is N151.2-A178-40-4G 1125, which can be used to cross-reference compatible toolholder systems. Typical applications include groove turning on shafts, rings, and similar cylindrical workpieces in production machining environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting N151.2 style inserts at insert seat size 40. ISO designation N151.2-A178-40-4G 1125 should be used to confirm toolholder compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and indexing should be performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians with the machine in a full stop, de-energized state. Use the appropriate torx or clamping key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert; do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for debris or wear before seating a new insert. Follow all applicable shop safety protocols and machine guarding requirements during tooling changes.
