Sandvik Coromant 5737175 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737175 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed 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 surface finish on a wide range of workpiece materials. The insert features a neutral hand orientation and a 4U chip breaker geometry, with a cutting width of 0.0787 inches (2.00 mm) and a corner radius of 0.0394 inches (1.00 mm). It belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series and is identified by ISO code N151.2-200-20-4U 235. Machining professionals and CNC tooling specialists are the primary installers of this insert.

This insert is suited for external grooving, parting-off, and face grooving applications in production machining environments, both in job shop and high-volume manufacturing settings. The T-Max Q-Cut series is commonly deployed on medium to small diameter workpieces where consistent chip control and dimensional accuracy are required. The insert size designation is 20, with a cutting height of 0.2211 inches (5.62 mm). Its multi-use capability means a single insert geometry can serve across varied grooving tasks without requiring a toolholder change.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with CVD TiCN/TiN coating for enhanced wear resistance
• Cutting width of 0.0787 inches (2.00 mm) for precision narrow groove applications
• 4U chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation during parting and grooving
• Neutral hand orientation fits standard T-Max Q-Cut toolholders without hand-specific restrictions
• Corner radius of 0.0394 inches (1.00 mm) provides consistent groove floor geometry
• Multi-use tool designation allows use across multiple grooving applications with one insert style

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting insert seat size 20. ISO code N151.2-200-20-4U 235 defines the exact toolholder and seat compatibility. Consult SANDVIK COROMANT toolholder documentation to confirm seat and clamping system fit before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling technician with the machine spindle fully stopped and control in an E-stop or lockout/tagout state. Use the appropriate torx or hex key specified for the T-Max Q-Cut clamping screw and do not overtighten, as insert seat damage can result. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for wear or debris before seating the new insert. Verify cutting width and corner radius against part print requirements before resuming production.
