Sandvik Coromant 5737117 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737117 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the ISO designation N151.2-A281-60-4G 235 and belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series, a widely used platform for external and internal grooving work. The insert features a CVD-applied TiCN/TiN coating with a 235 grade designation, delivering wear resistance suited to steel and cast iron workpieces. Cutting width measures 0.281 inches (7.14 mm), and the neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with standard right-hand toolholders without requiring a mirrored setup. A 4G chip breaker geometry promotes reliable chip control in medium-depth groove profiles.

This insert is used in production turning environments where consistent groove width and surface finish are required. Typical applications include external grooving, face grooving, and parting on ferrous and non-ferrous materials at moderate to high cutting speeds. The T-Max Q-Cut platform is common in both job-shop and high-volume production settings. The multi-use designation confirms the insert supports repeat indexing within compatible toolholders. Machinists and CNC operators working in automotive, general engineering, and industrial component manufacturing will find this insert suited to their standard grooving routines.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with CVD TiCN/TiN coating for elevated wear and heat resistance
• 0.281 inch (7.14 mm) cutting width for consistent groove sizing
• 4G chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation during grooving cycles
• Corner radius of 0.0327 inches (0.83 mm) for defined groove edge geometry
• Neutral hand insert fits standard right-hand T-Max Q-Cut toolholders without special orientation
• Insert size 60 with cutting height of 0.4062 inches (10.32 mm) for stable seating in the pocket

Compatibility

Designed for use with SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting insert seat size 60 and ISO style N151.2. Compatible holders must be configured for neutral-hand inserts with a 4G chip breaker pocket. Refer to the SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max Q-Cut toolholder catalog using ISO code N151.2-A281-60-4G 235 to confirm holder compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. The machine spindle must be stopped and all stored energy discharged before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the manufacturer-specified torque wrench and clamping screw for the T-Max Q-Cut seat to avoid insert rocking or premature pocket wear. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for chips or debris before seating the new insert.
