Sandvik Coromant 5736800 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736800 is a solid carbide grooving insert engineered for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the T-Max Q-Cut series, this insert features a neutral hand orientation and a 0.125 inch cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 0.0512 inches. The multilayer MT-CVD coating — TiCN base, Al2O3 mid-layer, and TiN outer layer — provides wear resistance and heat management during continuous and interrupted cuts. A positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces and improves chip control. Machinists and CNC turning specialists install this insert into compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholders for grooving, parting, and profile turning applications.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting-off operations in general machining environments, including job shops and production turning cells. The 5P chip breaker geometry manages chip evacuation in moderate-to-difficult grooving scenarios. With a corner radius of 0.0625 inches (1/16 inch) and a cutting height of 0.2672 inches, this insert handles tight-tolerance groove profiles. ISO code N151.2-A125-30-5P 4225 identifies the exact grade and geometry for sourcing and toolholder matching. The multi-use designation indicates suitability across a range of workpiece materials when paired with the correct toolholder and cutting parameters.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with MT-CVD multilayer TiCN/Al2O3/TiN coating for extended tool life
• 0.125 inch (3.17 mm) cutting width for precise groove dimensioning
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.0512 inches (1.30 mm) within a usable range up to 0.0750 inches (2.00 mm)
• Positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces and improves chip flow
• 5P chip breaker controls chip formation during grooving and parting operations
• Neutral hand orientation provides flexible mounting in standard T-Max Q-Cut holders

Compatibility

Designed for use in SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting insert seat size 30 and ISO code N151.2-A125-30-5P 4225. Confirm toolholder seat size and clamping system before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the holder pocket and verify the clamping screw torque per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before clamping to prevent seating errors that affect groove width accuracy.
