Sandvik Coromant 5762496 Indexable Toolholder Shim

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5762496 is a precision shim designed for indexable toolholders used in metal cutting and turning applications. With a 0.5 inch inscribed circle and a thickness of 5/16 inches (0.3125 inches), this shim seats and supports indexable inserts within the toolholder pocket. It is manufactured to a positive rake geometry, accommodating both left hand and right hand cutting directions. The catalog designation for this shim is 5322 234-02. Machinists and tooling technicians install this component as part of toolholder maintenance or insert pocket repair to restore correct insert seating depth and cutting geometry.

This shim is intended for use in indexable toolholders where insert pocket integrity must be maintained for consistent cutting performance. It suits production machining environments - including turning centers and manual lathes - where worn or damaged shim seats require replacement. The positive rake configuration supports chip flow and cutting edge load in standard turning and facing operations. Each order includes one shim per package unit, with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tooling technicians or machinists during toolholder maintenance. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all energy sources are locked out before removing or replacing insert pocket components. Seat the shim flush in the pocket before installing the indexable insert, and verify insert clamp torque using the toolholder manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the shim seat for debris or burrs that could affect seating accuracy.
