Sandvik Coromant 5736780 Grooving Insert 0.142 in Neutral

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736780 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, which provides thermal resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The insert features a neutral hand orientation, a 0.142 inch cutting width, and a 4G chip breaker geometry. It belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series, engineered for stable, controlled grooving in metalworking environments. Machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop settings install this insert as part of a modular toolholder system.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting applications on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials where consistent chip control and edge integrity are required. The T-Max Q-Cut series is a common platform in production turning environments handling medium to high cutting demands. The neutral rake angle of 7 degrees and the 4G chip breaker support predictable chip evacuation, reducing the risk of chip packing in deep-groove operations. It is appropriate for both batch production and general-purpose turning cell applications.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with TiAlN PVD coating for heat and wear resistance
• 0.142 inch cutting width with 0.0126 inch corner radius for controlled groove profiles
• Neutral hand orientation accommodates standard right-hand toolholder configurations
• 4G chip breaker geometry promotes reliable chip breaking at moderate feed rates
• Insert Size 30 with ISO code N151.2-A142-30-4G 1125 for precise toolholder matching
• Multi-use rated, compatible across multiple compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholder bodies

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting Insert Size 30 inserts with ISO designation N151.2-A142-30-4G 1125. Verify toolholder seat size and insert style N151.2 compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is locked before seating or removing inserts. Use the manufacturer-specified torx or hex key to secure the clamping screw to the toolholder without overtightening. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before installing a new insert to ensure proper contact and prevent premature edge failure.
