Sandvik Coromant 5736732 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736732 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a TiCN/TiN CVD coating for improved wear resistance and cutting performance in steel, stainless, and similar workpiece materials. The insert features a neutral hand orientation with a 0.088 inch cutting width, a 0.0075 inch corner radius, and a 4G chip breaker geometry. This insert belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series and is suited for machinists and toolroom professionals performing high-volume grooving cycles where consistent tool life and dimensional accuracy are required.

This insert is used in turning and parting applications on both manual and CNC lathes. The 4G chip breaker geometry is intended for medium-depth grooving in materials where chip control is critical. The neutral rake angle of 7 degrees supports a wide range of workpiece materials. The insert seat size is 20, and it is catalogued under ISO code N151.2-A088-20-4G 235, which is also the full manufacturers catalog number. It is appropriate for job shops and production environments where repeatable groove geometry is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine in a safe, powered-down or stopped state before changing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat and torque the clamping screw; do not exceed the clamping specification for the toolholder. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating the insert. Verify cutting width and offset values in the machine control after insert change before resuming production cuts.
