Sandvik Coromant 5757740 Indexable Shim 10 Pack

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5757740 is an indexable insert shim designed to seat and support cutting inserts within compatible tool holders. Shims provide the precision contact surface between the insert pocket and the cutting insert, maintaining correct insert positioning and protecting the tool holder body from wear and impact damage. This order includes 10 shims per package, making it well suited for shop inventory replenishment or multi-station setups. The 5757740 measures 3.74 inches in length, 1.54 inches in width, and 0.43 inches in height, and weighs 0.25 pounds per package. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with SANDVIK COROMANT indexable tooling systems rely on OEM-matched shims to maintain repeatability and extend tool holder service life.

This shim is intended for use in metal cutting applications where indexable insert tooling is employed, including turning, milling, and boring operations in production and job shop environments. The 5757740 is specified for use with the SANDVIK COROMANT 174.30 complete tool holder. Replacing worn or damaged shims at each insert index or at scheduled maintenance intervals is standard practice to prevent pocket damage and maintain dimensional accuracy at the cutting edge. These shims are installed by machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup personnel as part of routine insert tooling maintenance.

Installation Notes

Shim replacement is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians during insert indexing or scheduled tool holder maintenance. Always power down and lock out the machine before accessing the tool holder or insert pocket. Inspect the insert pocket seat and shim seating surface for debris or damage before installing a new shim. Use manufacturer-specified torque procedures for insert clamping screws — do not over-torque, as this can crack the shim or damage the pocket.
