Sandvik Coromant 5737516 Grooving Insert T-max Q-cut

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737516 is a solid carbide grooving insert engineered 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 extends tool life in a wide range of workpiece materials. The insert features a 0.125 inch (3.17 mm) cutting width, a neutral hand orientation, and a 4G chip breaker geometry that promotes reliable chip control during interrupted and continuous groove cuts. With a cutting height of 0.2672 inches (6.78 mm) and a corner radius of 0.0075 inches (0.19 mm), this insert delivers consistent dimensional accuracy in finish and semi-finish grooving applications. It is intended for installation by machinists and tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is designed for use in SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max Q-Cut grooving and parting systems. It is suited for external grooving, face grooving, and parting-off operations on CNC turning equipment. The neutral rake angle of 7 degrees and the 4G chip breaker make it appropriate for moderate feed rates and a broad spectrum of materials including steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The insert seat size is 25, and the ISO code designation is N151.2-A125-25-4G 235, which corresponds directly to the manufacturers catalog number.

Key Features

• 0.125 inch cutting width with tight corner radius tolerance (0.0055 to 0.0095 inch range)
• 4G chip breaker geometry for reliable chip evacuation in grooving and parting operations
• Neutral hand insert style accommodates standard T-Max Q-Cut toolholders
• Grade 235 substrate optimized for steel and general-purpose turning applications
• Multi-use capable across grooving, parting, and face grooving operations

Compatibility

Designed for use with SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max Q-Cut grooving and parting toolholders accepting insert seat size 25. ISO code N151.2-A125-25-4G 235 identifies the exact holder and seat pairing required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked before insert exchange. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert clamp to the correct clamping torque indicated on the holder documentation. Inspect the insert seat for chips, debris, or wear before seating the new insert. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for grade 235 solid carbide in the applicable material application.
