Sandvik Coromant 5736796 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide T-max Q-cut

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736796 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 that extends cutting edge life in demanding interrupted and continuous cuts. The insert features a neutral hand orientation, a 0.125 inch (3.17 mm) cutting width, and a maximum depth of cut of 0.0512 inch (1.30 mm). A corner radius of 0.0625 inch (1.58 mm) and a positive rake geometry promote clean chip formation and reduce cutting forces. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for grooving, parting, and profiling on small to medium diameter workpieces where tight dimensional tolerances are required. The 5P chip breaker geometry manages chip evacuation in a range of workpiece materials. The T-Max Q-Cut series design positions this insert for use in high-volume turning applications where consistent tool life and repeatable insert indexing are priorities. It is sold individually and must be ordered in multiples of 10.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit insert for SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting insert seat size 30. ISO code N151.2-A125-30-5P 235 identifies the exact holder and seat compatibility. Verify toolholder seat size and clamping system before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Before changing inserts, confirm the machine spindle is stopped and all axes are locked or in a safe position. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert key specified by SANDVIK COROMANT for the T-Max Q-Cut clamping system — do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert seat and clamping screw for wear or damage before seating a new insert.
