Sandvik Coromant 5762511 Indexable Shim 0.5 Inch Ic

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5762511 is an indexable shim designed for use with toolholder applications requiring a 0.5-inch (0.5000 inch) inscribed circle insert seat. At 0.219 inches thick and referencing shim style 5322 380, this component provides the precise seating surface and rake geometry needed to maintain accurate insert positioning during turning and milling operations. It supports positive rake geometry and accommodates both left-hand and right-hand cutting directions. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this shim as part of a complete indexable toolholder assembly to ensure consistent insert clamping and repeatability across cutting passes.

This shim is suited for production and job-shop environments where indexable toolholders are used for turning, boring, or profiling operations. It is specified when replacing worn or damaged shim seats in existing toolholder bodies. The 5322 380 shim style designation corresponds to the manufacturer catalog number 5322 380-11, providing a direct reference for toolroom records and MRO procurement. One shim is included per order. Its positive rake configuration is appropriate for applications where reduced cutting forces and improved chip flow are priorities.

Key Features

• 0.5-inch inscribed circle (0.5000 inch decimal) matches insert seat geometry precisely
• 0.219-inch thickness maintains correct insert height and rake angle
• Positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces and supports clean chip evacuation
• Compatible with both left-hand and right-hand cutting directions
• Shim style 5322 380 - manufacturer catalog number 5322 380-11 for direct cross-reference
• Single-shim pack quantity for targeted MRO replacement

Compatibility

Designed as a direct OEM-style replacement shim for SANDVIK COROMANT indexable toolholders specifying the 5322 380 shim style with a 0.5-inch inscribed circle insert seat and positive rake geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians during toolholder maintenance or insert seat reconditioning. The toolholder must be removed from the machine spindle and fully de-energized before disassembly. Seat surfaces should be cleaned of chips and debris before seating the new shim to ensure flush contact and accurate insert positioning. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specifications for clamping screws as published in the original assembly documentation.
