Sandvik Coromant 5737503 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737503 is a solid carbide grooving insert from the T-Max Q-Cut series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a CVD-applied TiCN/TiN coating that improves wear resistance and extends tool life in continuous and interrupted cuts. The insert has a neutral hand orientation and a positive rake geometry, making it suitable for general-purpose grooving in a range of workpiece materials. Cutting width is 0.125 inches (3.17 mm) and maximum depth of cut is 0.05 inches (1.27 mm). The 4P chip breaker geometry promotes chip control during shallow grooving passes.

This insert is intended for use in precision machining environments where controlled chip evacuation and dimensional accuracy are required. Typical applications include groove turning, face grooving, and light parting on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The ISO code N151.2-A125-30-4P 235 identifies the exact grade and geometry. Insert seat size 30 corresponds to compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholders designed for that seat designation. This insert is sold individually and must be ordered in multiples of 10.

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting insert seat size 30. ISO code N151.2-A125-30-4P 235 identifies the compatible holder and grade pairing. Verify toolholder seat designation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine in a fully stopped and locked-out state. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer - do not overtighten or use substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert seat for debris or damage before seating the new insert. Confirm secure clamping and correct insert orientation before resuming machine operation.
