Sandvik Coromant 5737068 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737068 is a solid carbide grooving insert 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 cutting life in demanding applications. The cutting width measures 0.1181 inches (3.00 mm) with a corner radius of 0.0079 inches (0.20 mm), making it well suited for narrow-groove and parting work where dimensional accuracy is critical. The neutral hand orientation and positive rake geometry support consistent chip control and reduced cutting forces. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC turning specialists in production and job-shop environments.

This insert fits the T-Max Q-Cut series tooling system and is identified by ISO code N151.2-300-5E 235 with a 5E chip breaker and insert seat size 30. It is designed for grooving operations in materials where a CVD-coated carbide grade 235 is appropriate, including a range of steel and cast iron workpiece materials. The multi-use designation indicates compatibility with both grooving and parting applications within the T-Max Q-Cut system. Typical installations are found on production turning equipment in aerospace, automotive, and general machining environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC turning technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the correct torque driver specified for the T-Max Q-Cut clamping system to avoid insert rocking or premature failure. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for wear or damage before fitting a new insert.
