Sandvik Coromant 5738037 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5738037 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision groove-turning and parting 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 stability across a range of workpiece materials. The insert features a neutral hand orientation, a 0.1575 inch (4.00 mm) cutting width, and a 7-degree rake angle. The 5G chip breaker geometry promotes reliable chip control in moderate to heavy grooving cuts. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians as a replacement or production-run consumable in the T-Max Q-Cut tooling system.

The 5738037 insert belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series and fits insert seat size 40 holders. It is suited for grooving operations in both production and job-shop environments on a range of metallic workpiece materials. Its ISO code is N151.2-400-40-5G 4225, and the manufacturer catalog number is N151.2-400-40-5G 4225. The multi-use designation means a single insert body may be indexed or repositioned depending on holder configuration. Typical applications include external grooving, face grooving, and parting on steel and stainless steel components.

Compatibility

Designed for use in SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max Q-Cut series holders accepting insert seat size 40. ISO code N151.2-400-40-5G 4225 can be used for direct holder and tooling-system cross-reference. Verify holder seat size and clamping style before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the pocket and torque the clamping screw according to the holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the insert seat and clamping components for wear or debris before installing a new insert.
