Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5738105 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries ISO code N151.2-500-50-5G 4225 and belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series. The insert features a multi-layer MT-CVD coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN, which provides wear resistance and thermal stability during continuous and interrupted cuts. The cutting width measures 0.1969 inches (5.00 mm), and the corner radius is 0.0157 inches (0.40 mm). Manufacturer grade 4225 with a 5G chip breaker geometry makes this insert suited for stable, controlled chip evacuation in steel and general-purpose turning materials.

This insert is used in external grooving and cutoff applications on production turning machines. It fits into T-Max Q-Cut compatible toolholders that accept the N151.2 insert style with a seat size of 50. Typical applications include groove turning on bar stock, shaft components, and similar workpieces in job shop and high-volume machining environments. The neutral hand orientation allows use in both left- and right-hand setups depending on the toolholder configuration. This insert is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.
