Sandvik Coromant 5762469 Indexable Shim Positive Rake Toolholder

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5762469 is a replacement shim designed for indexable toolholders in metal-cutting applications. Shims seat beneath indexable inserts to maintain precise cutting geometry and protect the toolholder pocket from wear. This shim features a positive rake configuration and accommodates inserts with a 0.5 inch inscribed circle. At 0.125 inches thick, it conforms to the 5322 236 shim style and supports both left-hand and right-hand cutting directions, making it a versatile stock item for shops running multiple toolholder orientations. Machinists and tool crib technicians handling carbide insert tooling will find this shim a direct-fit component for standard pocket maintenance.

This shim is used in precision metal-cutting environments where indexable insert toolholders require periodic pocket restoration or insert-geometry optimization. It is suited to turning, boring, and similar operations where positive rake toolholder setups are specified. The dual cutting-direction compatibility allows a single part number to serve both left- and right-hand toolholder configurations, reducing the number of line items required in tool inventory. It is packaged individually and sold in multiples of 10, making it appropriate for tool crib stocking as well as machine shop maintenance programs.

Installation Notes

Shim replacement is performed by qualified machinists or tool crib technicians during toolholder maintenance. Always remove the toolholder from the machine and ensure the spindle or turret is fully locked out before disassembling the insert pocket. Inspect the pocket seat for damage before installing the new shim, and verify that the shim seats flush without rocking before torquing the insert clamp. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's specified clamp-screw procedure for the insert style in use.
