Sandvik Coromant 5762431 Indexable Shim 3/8 in Positive Rake

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5762431 is an indexable toolholder shim designed to seat and support indexable cutting inserts in precision turning and milling toolholders. This shim measures 0.156 inches thick with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, conforming to the 5322 120 shim style. It accommodates positive rake geometry and is compatible with left-hand, neutral, and right-hand cutting directions, making it a versatile seat component for multi-application tooling setups. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this shim to protect the toolholder pocket and maintain accurate insert positioning throughout the insert's usable life.

This shim is used in CNC turning centers, lathes, and milling setups where indexable insert toolholders require a precision seat to distribute cutting forces and prevent pocket wear. The 5322 120 shim style is a recognized format in modular indexable tooling, suitable for use in both production and job-shop environments. It is sold individually per order unit, with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces, making it appropriate for stocking in tool cribs or maintenance inventories that service multiple machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians during insert indexing or toolholder maintenance. Power down and lock out the machine before accessing the toolholder pocket. Ensure the pocket seat is clean and free of chips or debris before placing the shim, as contamination will affect insert seating accuracy. Do not reuse a shim that shows visible deformation or damage from cutting forces.
