Sandvik Coromant 5738112 Cutoff Insert Carbide 5mm T-max Q-cut

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5738112 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the manufacturer catalog designation N151.2-500-5F 1125 and belongs to the T-Max Q-Cut series. The insert features a 5.00 mm cutting width, a neutral lead angle, and a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process. Grade 1125 carbide with TiAlN coating provides wear resistance suited for steel and stainless steel parting applications. The 5F chipbreaker geometry promotes chip control during cutoff. This insert is installed and changed by machinists and CNC toolroom technicians during routine insert indexing.

This insert is suited for parting, grooving, and cutoff operations on turning equipment where a 5.00 mm wide cut is required. The neutral hand designation makes it applicable to standard right-hand and left-hand turret positions depending on the toolholder configuration. The T-Max Q-Cut series is designed for use with compatible SANDVIK COROMANT Q-Cut toolholders that accept the N151.2 insert style with an insert seat size of 50. Applications include general-purpose cutoff work on bar stock in production turning environments.
