Sandvik Coromant 5757495 Indexable Insert Shim

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5757495 is a replacement shim designed for use with indexable insert tooling systems. Shims seat beneath the cutting insert in a tool holder pocket, establishing precise insert height and supporting the insert against cutting forces. This shim measures 0.35 inches in length, 0.35 inches in width, and 0.25 inches in height, and weighs approximately 0.25 pounds. It is sold individually and is intended for installation by machinists, toolroom technicians, or CNC setup personnel performing insert maintenance or tool holder rebuilds.

This shim is suited for use in turning, boring, or milling operations where indexable insert tooling requires accurate pocket support. It is specifically listed as compatible with the 174.30 tool holder. Shim replacement is a standard part of tooling maintenance when a worn or damaged shim causes insert instability, poor surface finish, or inconsistent tool life. One shim is included per order.

Installation Notes
