Sandvik Coromant 5736818 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736818 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a TiAlN PVD coating that improves wear resistance and heat dissipation during high-speed cutting. The insert carries a manufacturer grade of 1125 and is built to the N151.2-4P30 insert style, making it a direct-fit component within the T-Max Q-Cut tooling system. With a maximum depth of cut of 0.0512 inches and a corner radius of 0.0591 inches, it is sized for light to moderate grooving work. Machinists and CNC operators in production shops and job shops install this insert as a consumable replacement in compatible T-Max Q-Cut holders.

This insert is suited for grooving, parting, and turning applications on ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a neutral-hand, PVD-coated carbide insert is specified. The T-Max Q-Cut series is used in both OD grooving and face grooving setups on manual and CNC turning equipment. Insert size 30 and the N151.2-4P30 style designate specific holder and pocket compatibility within the T-Max Q-Cut product group. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it suitable for stocking as a production consumable.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine fully stopped and locked out per shop safety procedures. Use the correct insert key or torx wrench specified for the T-Max Q-Cut holder to seat and clamp the insert without over-torquing the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating the new insert, as pocket damage will affect insert stability and surface finish. Always verify tool offset and run a test cut before returning the machine to full production rate.
