Sandvik Coromant 5737318 Cutoff Insert 2.5mm Carbide T-max

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737318 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. This insert belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series and carries the N151.2-250-5E 235 catalog designation. It features a 2.5 mm cutting width, a neutral lead angle, and a 7-degree relief angle. The CVD-applied TiCN/TiN coating improves wear resistance and extends tool life in a range of workpiece materials. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this insert for precision cutoff work where consistent chip control and dimensional repeatability are critical.

This insert is suited for parting-off and shallow grooving applications on turning machines. The 5E chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation during cutoff operations. The clamp-style insert holding method and size code 25 seat allow secure, repeatable indexing in compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholders. It is appropriate for use in both production machining environments and job-shop turning operations where a neutral-hand, zero-lead-angle insert geometry is required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with CVD TiCN/TiN coating for enhanced wear resistance
• 2.5 mm cutting width with a 0.20 mm corner radius for precise grooving and parting
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand for straightforward parting-off applications
• 7-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces and supports clean edge engagement
• 5E chipbreaker geometry promotes predictable chip control during cutoff
• Clamp-style insert holding method ensures secure, repeatable seating

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders that accept insert seat size 25 and the N151.2 insert style. Confirm toolholder seat size and clamping system compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten the clamp screw. Inspect the insert seat for damage or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and runout.
