Sandvik Coromant 5737664 Grooving Insert T-max Q-cut

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5737664 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a multi-layer MT-CVD coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN, which provides wear resistance and thermal protection across a broad range of workpiece materials. The insert features a neutral hand orientation, a 0.25 inch cutting width, and a 7-degree rake angle. It belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series and uses the N151.2 insert style with a 5G chip breaker geometry. Machinists and CNC operators install this insert in compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholders for production turning and grooving work.

This insert is suited for grooving, parting, and turning applications in both production and job-shop environments. The 5G chip breaker geometry is optimized for controlled chip formation in medium-duty grooving passes. With an insert seat size of 60 and an ISO code of N151.2-A250-60-5G 4225, this insert fits the standard T-Max Q-Cut system. The grade 4225 designation places it in a coated carbide category appropriate for steel and stainless steel machining at moderate to high cutting speeds.

• Neutral hand orientation for use in standard grooving toolholders
• 5G chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation in grooving and parting operations
• 7-degree rake angle suited for medium-duty metal removal on steel and stainless materials
• Multi-use insert compatible with T-Max Q-Cut system toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max Q-Cut system toolholders accepting N151.2 series inserts with an insert seat size of 60. ISO code N151.2-A250-60-5G 4225 identifies the exact seat and geometry requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Always bring the machine to a full stop and confirm the spindle is locked before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or insert-clamping wrench specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the insert fully against the pocket. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the grade 4225 coating to avoid premature edge failure.
