Sandvik Coromant 5753165 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5753165 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Top Lok series, designed for precision grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. This left-hand insert carries a TiCrAlN and TiAlN dual-layer PVD coating applied over a grade 1125 carbide substrate, delivering wear resistance and thermal stability in interrupted and continuous grooving cuts. The cutting width is 3.17 mm (0.125 inches) with a maximum depth of cut of 3.81 mm (0.150 inches). A 0.19 mm corner radius and 10-degree rake angle support clean, controlled chip formation in a range of workpiece materials. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this insert as a direct replaceable cutting edge in compatible Top Lok toolholders.

This insert is suited for grooving, parting, and groove-turning applications in both production and job-shop environments. The left-hand orientation directs cutting forces away from the spindle in right-to-left grooving passes. The neutral rake geometry combined with the multi-use designation makes it adaptable across a range of materials and groove profiles. Typical applications include external and internal grooves on turned components in aerospace, automotive, and general metalworking where tight groove width tolerances and surface finish consistency are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the insert. Ensure the insert pocket and clamping surfaces are clean and free of chips or debris before seating to avoid insert rocking and premature edge failure. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque guidance and verify insert seating visually before resuming cuts.
