Sandvik Coromant 5737546 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide T-max Q-cut

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737546 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the ISO designation N151.2-600-50-4G 235 and belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series, a system engineered for controlled chip evacuation and stable cutting performance. The insert features a CVD-applied TiCN and TiN coating for wear resistance and extended tool life. With a 0.2362 inch (6.00 mm) cutting width and a neutral hand orientation, it suits a wide range of groove profiles in steel, stainless, and similar machinable materials. Licensed machinists and CNC operators typically specify this insert for high-volume production turning applications.

This insert is used in grooving and parting operations on turning centers in both production and job-shop environments. The 4G chip breaker geometry is intended for applications where consistent chip control is critical, particularly in medium-depth grooving passes. The neutral rake orientation makes it suitable for use on both left- and right-hand toolholders compatible with the N151.2 insert seat size 50. It is a multi-use insert appropriate for external grooving, face grooving, and parting on workpieces where groove width accuracy is essential.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or clamp key specified for the T-Max Q-Cut holder to secure the insert without over-torquing the clamping mechanism. Inspect the insert seat for chips or contamination before installation to ensure proper seating and accurate cutting geometry.
