Sandvik Coromant 5737287 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737287 is a solid carbide grooving insert from the T-Max Q-Cut series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a CVD-applied TiCN/TiN coating that improves wear resistance and surface finish on the workpiece. The insert has a neutral hand orientation with a 0.375-inch (9.53 mm) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.165 inches (4.19 mm). A 3/16-inch (4.76 mm) corner radius supports controlled chip formation, and the positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces. Machinists and CNC turning specialists install this insert as a direct component in compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholders.

This insert is suited for grooving, plunge cutting, and parting applications in both production and job-shop turning environments. It performs on a range of workpiece materials where CVD-coated solid carbide grades offer reliable tool life. The insert size designation is 80, with an ISO code of N151.2-A375-80-4P 235 and chip breaker style 4P. It is applicable in operations requiring consistent groove width control at the 3/8-inch nominal cutting width. The part is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with CVD TiCN/TiN multilayer coating for extended wear resistance
• 0.375-inch (9.53 mm) cutting width with a depth-of-cut range of 0.150 to 0.200 inches (4.00 to 5.00 mm)
• 3/16-inch (4.76 mm) corner radius for controlled chip flow and groove geometry
• Positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces during grooving and parting
• Neutral hand orientation fits both left- and right-hand toolholder setups
• 4P chip breaker style for reliable chip control across a range of feed rates

Compatibility

Designed for use with SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting insert seat size 80 and insert style N151.2-A. The ISO catalog number N151.2-A375-80-4P 235 should be referenced when confirming toolholder compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. The machine spindle must be stopped and the turret fully indexed and locked before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or insert-clamping key specified for the toolholder to secure the insert without over-torquing the clamping screw. Inspect the insert seat and clamping mechanism for chips or wear before installing a new insert.
