Sandvik Coromant 5737290 Grooving Insert 0.375 in Neutral

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737290 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the N151.2 insert style, this insert carries a manufacturer grade of 235 and features a CVD-applied TiCN/TiN coating for extended tool life against abrasion and heat. The 0.375-inch cutting width and 7-degree rake angle make it well suited to medium-duty grooving in steel, stainless, and similar workpiece materials. The 6G chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation in continuous grooving passes. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this insert into compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholders as a direct replacement or replenishment unit.

This insert is intended for use in the T-Max Q-Cut system, a modular parting and grooving platform used in production turning environments. Typical applications include external groove profiling, face grooving, and parting on bar-fed or chucked workpieces in both job-shop and high-volume production settings. The neutral hand orientation allows use on standard right-hand turning setups. The ISO code N151.2-A375-80-6G 235 and catalog number N151.2-A375-80-6G 235 can be used to cross-reference compatible toolholders and insert seats within the T-Max Q-Cut product family.

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting insert seat size 80 and the N151.2 insert style. ISO code N151.2-A375-80-6G 235 should be used to verify toolholder and seat compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. The machine spindle must be brought to a full stop and all stored energy released before changing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key specified for the toolholder clamping screw and do not overtighten. Inspect the insert seat and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure proper contact and prevent premature edge failure.
