Sandvik Coromant 5736644 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736644 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the T-Max Q-Cut series, this insert carries a CVD-applied TiCN/TiN coating and manufacturer grade 235, delivering wear resistance and consistent surface finishes across a range of workpiece materials. The cutting width measures 0.178 inches (4.52 mm), the cutting height is 0.3191 inches (8.11 mm), and the corner radius is 0.0075 inches (0.19 mm). The 4G chip breaker geometry promotes efficient chip control during grooving cycles. Licensed machinists and CNC programmers specify this insert for high-volume production environments where dimensional repeatability is critical.

This insert is suited for grooving and cut-off applications on ferrous and non-ferrous materials in both production and job-shop turning environments. The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with standard straight-shank and modular grooving toolholders configured for N151.2-series inserts. Insert size designation is 40 and the ISO code is N151.2-A178-40-4G 235, which corresponds to the manufacturer catalog number N151.2-A178-40-4G 235. The multi-use designation indicates suitability across varied grooving pass depths within the insert geometry limits.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer torque and clamping specifications. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating the new insert. Do not exceed the cutting parameters specified in the toolholder system documentation for insert size 40.
