Sandvik Coromant 5737076 Grooving Insert T-max Q-cut

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737076 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the ISO code N151.2-300-4E 235, it features a 0.1181 inch (3.00 mm) cutting width, a positive rake geometry, and a CVD-applied TiCN/TiN coating that resists wear and built-up edge at elevated cutting speeds. The 235 manufacturer grade is suited for stable, productive cuts in a range of workpiece materials. Machinists and CNC turning specialists install this insert as a direct replacement in compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholders.

This insert belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series, which targets external and internal grooving and parting-off applications on both manual and CNC turning equipment. The neutral hand orientation makes it appropriate for straight-in grooving operations. The 4E chip breaker geometry assists in chip control during grooving cuts. It is used in production and job-shop environments where repeatable groove geometry and consistent tool life are required. The insert size designation is 30, and the insert seat size matches accordingly, which governs toolholder pocket compatibility.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with CVD TiCN/TiN coating for wear resistance
• 0.1181 inch (3.00 mm) cutting width for precise groove dimensioning
• Positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces at the workpiece
• 4E chip breaker design promotes controlled chip evacuation during grooving
• Neutral hand orientation suits straight-in grooving and parting applications
• 0.0120 inch (0.30 mm) corner radius for clean groove-bottom definition

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting insert size 30 with a 4E chip breaker seat. Verify ISO code N151.2-300-4E 235 against your toolholder documentation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation of grooving inserts is typically performed by a machinist or CNC tooling technician. Always power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or clamping key specified for the toolholder to secure the insert; do not over-torque the clamping screw. Confirm insert seating and orientation visually before resuming cutting operations.
