Sandvik Coromant 5762472 Indexable Shim 3/8 in Positive Rake

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5762472 is an indexable toolholder shim designed to seat and support indexable inserts in compatible turning and milling toolholders. This shim measures 0.375 inches inscribed circle and 0.125 inches thick, conforming to the 5322 236 shim style. It is engineered for positive rake applications and accepts both left-hand and right-hand cutting directions. Machinists and tool crib technicians install this component as a precise seating surface between the insert and the toolholder pocket, protecting the pocket from wear and maintaining consistent insert positioning across tool changes.

This shim is suited for use in metal-cutting environments where indexable insert toolholders require a replaceable seating element. It fits toolholders configured for 3/8-inch inscribed circle inserts with a positive rake geometry. Typical applications include CNC turning centers, manual lathes, and milling setups where tool pocket protection and repeatable insert seating are required. The shim accommodates both left-hand and right-hand cutting directions, making it a versatile stock item for shops running mixed-direction tooling setups.
