Sandvik Coromant 5762478 Indexable Shim 1/2 in Positive Rake

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5762478 is an indexable shim designed for toolholder applications in CNC turning and milling setups. This shim seats beneath the insert to establish precise cutting geometry and maintain consistent tool height during indexing cycles. It carries a positive rake configuration and accepts both left-hand and right-hand cutting directions, making it a versatile seating component for shops running mixed-direction operations. The inscribed circle measures 0.5000 inches (1/2 inch nominal) and the shim thickness is 0.2500 inches (1/4 inch nominal). Machining professionals and toolroom technicians use this shim to protect the toolholder pocket and restore accurate insert positioning after wear or damage to the seating surface.

This shim is suited for use in standard indexable toolholders requiring the 5322 155 shim style. It fits turning centers, boring bars, and similar toolholder bodies where insert pocket integrity is critical to dimensional accuracy and surface finish. The positive rake geometry supports lower cutting forces and is commonly specified in finishing and medium-duty roughing applications. One shim is included per order unit. The part corresponds to catalog number 5322 155-02.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians during insert changes or toolholder pocket refurbishment. Before servicing, ensure the machine is powered down and all axes are at a safe position per lockout/tagout procedures. The shim must seat fully and flat in the pocket before the insert is clamped; inspect the pocket surface for debris or damage before placing the shim. Do not overtighten the insert clamp screw without confirming the shim is properly seated, as improper seating can cause insert rocking and premature edge failure.
