Sandvik Coromant 5762537 Indexable Shim 1/2 in Positive Rake

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5762537 is a replacement shim designed for indexable toolholder assemblies. Shims seat beneath the insert pocket to maintain precise insert height, support cutting loads, and protect the toolholder body from damage during machining operations. This shim follows the 5322 331 shim style with a positive rake orientation and accommodates a 1/2-inch inscribed circle insert. At 3/16 inch (0.1875 inch) thick, it provides a consistent seating surface for left-hand and right-hand cutting directions. Machinists and tool crib personnel working with indexable tooling systems are the typical end users.

This shim is suited for use in turning and boring operations where indexable inserts with a 1/2-inch inscribed circle are seated in positive-rake toolholders. It supports both left-hand and right-hand cutting directions, making it applicable across a range of toolholder configurations. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units per order, it is well suited for shop stock replenishment or toolroom inventory programs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool crib technicians during toolholder setup or insert change procedures. Ensure the toolholder is removed from the machine and all cutting forces are fully relieved before servicing the insert pocket. Clean the pocket seat thoroughly before placing the shim to prevent seating errors. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's torque specifications for the insert clamping screw — do not over-torque, as this can crack the shim or damage the pocket.
