Sandvik Coromant 5738002 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5738002 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for the T-Max Q-Cut system. It carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, providing wear resistance and extended tool life in demanding parting and grooving operations. The insert features a neutral hand orientation, a 0.1181-inch cutting width, and a 4G chip breaker geometry. It is sized for insert seat size 30 and conforms to ISO code N151.3-300-30-4G 1125. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert in compatible T-Max Q-Cut toolholders for precision groove milling and cutoff work on lathes and turning centers.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting applications on CNC turning centers and lathes in both production shop and job shop environments. The 1125 grade with TiAlN finish is intended for use on a range of workpiece materials where a PVD-coated carbide grade is recommended. The neutral rake and 4G chip breaker geometry support consistent chip control across a variety of groove depths and feed conditions. The multi-use designation means the insert supports both grooving and turning operations within compatible tooling setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD-applied TiAlN coating for wear resistance
• 0.1181-inch cutting width with a 0.0079-inch corner radius
• 4G chip breaker for controlled chip evacuation during grooving and parting
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible toolholder mounting
• Multi-use capable: supports grooving and turning in the same insert
• Rake angle of 11.00 degrees for consistent cutting geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use in SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max Q-Cut toolholders compatible with insert seat size 30 and the N151.3 insert style. ISO code N151.3-300-30-4G 1125 identifies the precise toolholder and seat specifications required for proper fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the turret or tool station locked out before inserting or replacing cutting inserts. Use the appropriate insert key or torx driver specified by the toolholder manufacturer to achieve proper clamping force without over-torquing the insert pocket screw. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for wear or debris before seating the new insert.
