Sandvik Coromant 5738001 Grooving Insert H13A Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5738001 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Running in the T-Max Q-Cut system under insert style N151.3, this insert carries manufacturer grade H13A and ships in a bright, uncoated finish. The cutting width measures 0.1181 inches (3.00 mm), with a cutting height of 0.2081 inches and a corner radius of 0.0079 inches (0.20 mm). The neutral hand orientation and 11-degree rake angle make it suitable for straight plunge grooving where balanced cutting forces are required. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments are the primary users.

This insert is intended for grooving and parting applications in ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials where a solid carbide uncoated grade performs effectively. The 4G chip breaker geometry assists with chip control during moderate feed-rate grooving cuts. Insert seat size 30 and ISO code N151.3-300-30-4G H13A identify the correct toolholder pocket required. The multi-use designation means the insert can be indexed to extend service life. Typical applications include external grooving, recessing, and parting on lathes programmed for tight-tolerance groove widths.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction, H13A uncoated grade for consistent edge integrity
• 0.1181 inch (3.00 mm) cutting width for precise groove sizing
• 4G chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation during plunge grooving
• Neutral hand orientation allows straight plunge cuts without directional bias
• 11-degree rake angle balances cutting force and edge strength
• Multi-use insert — indexable to extend usable life per insert

Compatibility

Designed for use in T-Max Q-Cut system toolholders that accept insert style N151.3 with seat size 30. ISO code N151.3-300-30-4G H13A identifies the required toolholder pocket geometry. Verify toolholder seat size and insert style designation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and seating screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid cracking the carbide insert or damaging the pocket. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert, and confirm the ISO code on the insert matches the pocket designation.
