Sandvik Coromant 5737081 Grooving Insert Corocut 3

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737081 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precise external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying insert style N123 and manufactured to grade 1125, it features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process for improved wear resistance and tool life at elevated cutting temperatures. The cutting width is 3.18 mm (0.1252 inches) and the maximum depth of cut is 6.00 mm (0.2362 inches). This insert is intended for use by machinists and CNC turning specialists in production and job-shop environments.

This insert belongs to the CoroCut 3 series and carries a neutral hand orientation, making it suitable for straight-in grooving applications. It is used in external grooving operations on materials where a TiAlN-coated solid carbide grade offers an advantage in tool life. The GS chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip formation during grooving cuts. Typical applications include groove-to-depth operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in both production and maintenance machining settings. The insert size designation is 303180 and the ISO code is N123T303180000GS1125.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is locked out before seating or replacing any insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to the toolholder manufacturer's specified seating procedure — do not overtighten the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for wear or debris before installing a new insert.
