Sandvik Coromant 5736833 Grooving Insert 3mm Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5736833 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a CVD-applied TiCN/TiN coating that improves wear resistance and extends tool life in continuous and interrupted cuts. The insert features a neutral hand orientation and a 4P chip breaker geometry, which promotes controlled chip formation at moderate feed rates. With a 3.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 1.30 mm, it is sized for shallow, tight-tolerance grooves. Machinists and tool-room technicians install this insert into compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholders as a drop-in replacement.

This insert is suited for external grooving and parting applications on general-purpose turning equipment. The positive rake geometry and 4P chip breaker make it appropriate for a range of workpiece materials where chip control is critical. It fits residential shop and production-floor turning centers alike. The insert size designation is 30, and it belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series, which is a common platform for grooving toolholders used across both light and medium-duty turning operations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with CVD TiCN/TiN coating for extended wear resistance
• 3.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 1.30 mm
• Neutral hand orientation allows use in standard T-Max Q-Cut seat configurations
• 4P chip breaker geometry promotes positive chip control at moderate feeds
• Positive rake angle reduces cutting forces on the workpiece
• Corner radius of 1.50 mm for consistent groove bottom profile

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for T-Max Q-Cut series grooving toolholders accepting insert seat size 30. ISO code N151.2-300-30-4P 235 and manufacturer catalog number N151.2-300-30-4P 235 can be used to confirm toolholder compatibility.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician into a compatible T-Max Q-Cut grooving blade or toolholder. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the toolholder secured in the turret before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate Torx or insert-clamping key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert without over-torquing the clamping screw. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before installation to ensure proper seating and accurate cutting geometry.
