Sandvik Coromant 5753171 Grooving Insert TLG2 1125

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5753171 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the Top Lok series and designated ISO code TLG-2031R 1125, this insert features a TiCrAlN and TiAlN PVD coating applied via physical vapor deposition for extended tool life and heat resistance. With a cutting width of 0.79 mm (0.0310 inches) and a maximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm (0.0500 inches), it is suited for fine, narrow groove work requiring tight dimensional control. The grade 1125 carbide substrate paired with PVD coating handles a range of workpiece materials with consistent edge performance. Machinists and tooling technicians install this insert as part of a Top Lok toolholder system.

This insert is used in precision turning and grooving applications where narrow groove widths and controlled depth of cut are critical. It is a right-hand cutting insert with a neutral rake angle of 10 degrees, making it appropriate for standard external grooving passes on CNC lathes. The insert size 2 designation fits compatible Top Lok series toolholders. Typical applications include groove machining on metal workpieces in production and job-shop environments where consistent finish and repeatability are required.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Top Lok series toolholders accepting insert seat size 2. ISO code TLG-2031R 1125 identifies the insert geometry and grade for toolholder matching. Confirm toolholder seat size and insert hand orientation before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine powered down and spindle locked. Use the appropriate torx or clamping key specified by the Top Lok toolholder to secure the insert to the manufacturer-recommended seating torque range for the holder style. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before seating the insert, as contamination can affect clamping security and cutting geometry. Never force the insert into the pocket or use makeshift tools that could damage the carbide or seat surfaces.
