Sandvik Coromant 5736788 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736788 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the T-Max Q-Cut series, this neutral-hand insert carries a TiAlN PVD coating and manufacturer grade 1125, making it well suited for interrupted cuts and a broad range of workpiece materials. The cutting width measures 0.156 inches (5/32 inch), with a corner radius of 0.0075 inches and a cutting height of 0.267 inches. The 4G chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation during groove turning. Machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers of this insert.

This insert is used in external grooving, face grooving, and parting applications on both light-duty and production turning equipment. The neutral rake angle of 7 degrees and ISO code N151.2-A156-30-4G 1125 identify the precise insert seat and toolholder family required. The T-Max Q-Cut system is commonly found in job shops and production facilities running steel, stainless, and cast materials. Insert seat size 30 and overall length of 0.220 inches position this as a compact, high-precision cutting element for tight-tolerance groove work.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom technician following the machine tool manufacturer and toolholder manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe index position before removing or seating any insert. Use the correct torx or hex key to the clamping screw specification called out in the toolholder documentation. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for chips or damage before installing a new insert to ensure proper seating and prevent premature edge failure.
