Sandvik Coromant 5736655 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736655 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, delivering wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding cuts. The insert features a neutral hand orientation and a 4P chip breaker geometry, with a cutting width of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a maximum depth of cut of 0.067 inches (1.70 mm). Cutting height measures 0.319 inches (8.11 mm). This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments where consistent groove geometry and insert-to-insert repeatability are required.

The 5736655 belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series, a product group engineered for external and internal grooving, face grooving, and parting on a range of workpiece materials. The positive rake angle reduces cutting forces, making this insert well suited for turning operations on steel, stainless, and similar materials where chip control is critical. It is sized for an insert seat size of 40 and is compatible with toolholders designed for the N151.2-A insert style. This insert is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD TiAlN coating for extended tool life in abrasive cuts
• 4P chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation in grooving applications
• Positive rake angle reduces cutting forces and minimizes workpiece deflection
• Neutral hand orientation fits standard N151.2-A series toolholders on either spindle direction
• Cutting width of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) with a corner radius of 0.078 inches (1.98 mm) for consistent groove profile
• Multi-use rated for grooving, parting, and related turning operations

Compatibility

Designed for use with toolholders accepting the N151.2-A insert style at insert seat size 40. ISO code reference: N151.2-A156-40-4P 1125. Confirm toolholder seat size and clamping method before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or clamp screw driver specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid stripping the clamping seat. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure full surface contact and accurate cutting geometry.
