Sandvik Coromant 5736823 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736823 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the T-Max Q-Cut series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a neutral hand orientation and features a multi-layer MT-CVD coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN in manufacturer grade 4225, which provides wear resistance and thermal stability at elevated cutting speeds. The cutting width is 0.1181 inches (3.00 mm), with a corner radius of 0.0118 inches (0.30 mm) and a cutting height of 0.2672 inches (6.78 mm). Machinists and CNC operators install this insert in compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholders for external grooving, face grooving, and parting applications on a range of workpiece materials.

This insert is suited for use in production turning environments, both light and medium-duty, where consistent groove geometry and dimensional accuracy are required. The 5G chip breaker geometry and 7-degree rake angle promote controlled chip formation and evacuation, making it appropriate for grooving ductile metals and alloys. It is a multi-use insert type, allowing for repositioning to extend service life before full replacement. The ISO code for this insert is N151.2-300-30-5G 4225, and the insert seat size is 30.

Key Features

• 0.1181 inch (3.00 mm) cutting width for precise groove sizing
• 5G chip breaker promotes controlled chip formation in grooving and parting cuts
• Neutral hand orientation compatible with standard T-Max Q-Cut toolholder systems
• Corner radius of 0.0118 inches (0.30 mm) supports accurate groove corner geometry
• Multi-use insert design allows repositioning to extend usable tool life

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting insert seat size 30. ISO designation N151.2-300-30-5G 4225 identifies compatible holders. Verify toolholder seat size and insert style N151.2 acceptance before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and insert changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician with the machine in a full stop and lockout state. Use the correct torque wrench and clamp screw specified for the T-Max Q-Cut toolholder to avoid cracking the carbide insert. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for chips or debris before seating the insert. Do not use damaged or chipped inserts, as carbide fractures under interrupted cuts can cause workpiece damage or personal injury.
