Sandvik Coromant 5737108 Grooving Insert 0.3122 in Neutral

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737108 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the N151.2 insert style, it carries a 0.3122-inch cutting width and a CVD-applied TiCN plus TiN coating that extends tool life in steel and cast iron applications. The 4G chip breaker geometry and a 7-degree rake angle promote controlled chip evacuation, reducing the risk of chip packing in deep grooves. Machinists and tool-room technicians working in production and job-shop environments rely on this insert for consistent, repeatable groove profiles.

This insert belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series, which is engineered for external grooving, face grooving, and parting operations on turning equipment. With a neutral hand orientation, it fits both left-hand and right-hand toolholder arrangements where a neutral insert is specified. The ISO code N1512A312604G235 and manufacturer grade 235 identify the geometry and substrate for catalog cross-reference. It is suited to moderate-to-high production runs where coating durability and chip control are priorities. The insert is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• 0.3122-inch cutting width (7.93 mm) for consistent groove sizing
• CVD-applied TiCN and TiN coating for extended wear resistance
• 4G chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation
• 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces in grooving operations
• Neutral hand orientation accommodates a wide range of toolholder setups
• Solid carbide substrate, manufacturer grade 235, for thermal and mechanical stability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders requiring an N151.2 style, neutral-hand grooving insert with a 0.3122-inch cutting width and 4G chip breaker designation. Verify toolholder pocket specifications against insert size 31260 and ISO code N1512A312604G235 before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the turning center before seating or removing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or clamping key specified for the T-Max Q-Cut toolholder to achieve correct clamping force — do not overtighten or improvise with substitute tools. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping mechanism for wear or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper support and runout.
