Sandvik Coromant 5736768 Cutoff Insert 2.5mm T-max Q-cut

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736768 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the N151.2-250-5E 2135 designation, placing it in the T-Max Q-Cut series. The insert features a 2.5 mm (0.0984 inches) cutting width, a neutral lead angle, a 7-degree relief angle, and a 0.20 mm corner radius. The MTCVD-applied TiCN/Al2O3/TiN coating provides wear resistance and thermal stability during high-speed cutoff work. Machining shops, tool-room technicians, and CNC operators install this insert as a direct replacement in compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholders.

This insert suits precision parting and grooving applications in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where tight width tolerances and clean surface finishes are required. The 5E chipbreaker geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in interrupted and continuous cuts. The neutral hand orientation makes it suitable for standard right-hand and left-hand setups without toolholder modification. It fits Insert Seat Size 25 holders within the T-Max Q-Cut system and is identified by Insert Style N151.2.

• Clamp-style insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in T-Max Q-Cut holders

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting Insert Seat Size 25 and Insert Style N151.2. Verify holder compatibility with the manufacturer catalog number N151.2-250-5E 2135 before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC toolroom technicians. Power down the machine and engage the spindle lock before changing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key to release and re-seat the clamp; do not overtighten the clamp screw beyond the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper support and prevent premature edge failure.
