Sandvik Coromant 5737532 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide T-max Q-cut

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737532 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the T-Max Q-Cut series, this insert features a neutral hand orientation, a cutting width of 0.125 inches (3.17 mm), and a maximum depth of cut of 0.050 inches (1.27 mm). The uncoated bright finish and positive rake geometry make it well suited for applications requiring sharp cutting action and close dimensional control. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops or production turning environments install this insert as a direct replacement or replenishment unit.

This insert is used in grooving and parting operations on turning centers equipped with compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholders. The N151.2-A insert style and ISO code N151.2-A125-30-4P H13A identify exact fitment to the corresponding insert seat size 30. It is suited for a range of workpiece materials where uncoated solid carbide performs well, including non-ferrous metals and certain steels requiring a free-cutting edge. The 4P chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip formation in shallow groove profiles up to 0.075 inches (2.00 mm) depth of cut range.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with bright uncoated finish for sharp, free-cutting performance
• Neutral hand orientation compatible with both left- and right-hand toolholder setups
• Cutting width of 0.125 inches (3.17 mm) with a corner radius of 0.0625 inches (1.58 mm)
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.050 inches (1.27 mm); depth of cut range up to 0.075 inches (2.00 mm)
• 4P chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation in shallow grooving operations
• Positive rake angle reduces cutting forces and heat generation at the edge

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-Max Q-Cut series toolholders accepting insert seat size 30 and insert style N151.2-A. ISO code N151.2-A125-30-4P H13A confirms exact insert identification for toolholder matching.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the turret locked before changing inserts. Use the appropriate insert key or torx wrench specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the insert firmly without over-torquing the clamping screw. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before installation to ensure proper seating and edge alignment.
