Sandvik Coromant 5762504 Indexable Toolholder Shim

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5762504 is a positive-rake shim designed for indexable toolholders in metal-cutting applications. Manufactured to Shim Style 5322 141 (catalog number 5322 141-01), it seats between the insert pocket and the cutting insert to set rake angle and provide a stable bearing surface. The shim measures 0.3125 inches (5/16 inch) thick and is sized for a 0.5000-inch inscribed-circle insert. Its positive-rake geometry reduces cutting forces and is compatible with left-hand, right-hand, and neutral cutting directions, making it a versatile replacement component for toolholder maintenance.

This shim is intended for use in turning and boring toolholders that accept 1/2-inch inscribed-circle indexable inserts. It is a direct replacement-style component used in machine shop environments running CNC lathes, manual lathes, or boring bars. Machinists and toolroom technicians typically keep shims on hand as consumable toolholder hardware, replacing them when the seating surface shows wear, deformation, or damage from interrupted cuts or insert failures. Each order includes one shim per package, sold in a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine powered down and the spindle locked. Inspect the shim seat pocket for debris, burrs, or prior damage before seating the new shim. Torque the insert clamp or screw per the toolholder manufacturer specifications — do not over-torque, as this can crack the shim or deform the pocket. Replace the shim any time visible deformation, cratering, or cracking is observed on the bearing surface.
