Sandvik Coromant 5736653 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736653 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. This uncoated, neutral-hand insert carries an ISO designation of N151.2-A156-40-4P H13A and belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series. It features a cutting width of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a maximum depth of cut of 0.067 inches (1.70 mm), making it well suited for shallow grooving passes where tight dimensional control is critical. The 4P chip breaker geometry promotes positive rake cutting action and reliable chip formation in a range of workpiece materials. Machinists and CNC turning specialists select this insert for applications where dimensional accuracy and edge consistency are the primary requirements.

This insert is applied in turning operations requiring clean, repeatable grooves on external diameters. The neutral hand orientation supports use on standard right-hand tool holders compatible with the T-Max Q-Cut system. Typical applications include groove turning on steel, stainless steel, and other machinable alloys in both production and job-shop environments. The multi-use tool designation indicates it can serve across grooving, parting, and profile turning applications depending on holder configuration. It is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working with tooling systems that accept the 40-series insert seat size.

Compatibility

Designed for use with SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max Q-Cut toolholders accepting 40-series insert seats. ISO code N151.2-A156-40-4P H13A confirms holder interface compatibility. Verify holder series and clamping system before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement and seating should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine in a locked-out, de-energized state per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the insert pocket and clamping screw are clean and free of debris before seating the insert. Torque the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specification using the correct Torx or hex key. Inspect the insert seat and screw thread condition at each insert change to prevent insert movement during cutting.
