Sandvik Coromant 5762549 Indexable Toolholder Shim

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5762549 is a precision shim designed for indexable toolholders. It provides a stable seating surface for indexable inserts, maintaining correct cutting geometry and pocket depth when inserts are indexed or replaced. The shim features a positive rake configuration and supports left-hand, neutral, and right-hand cutting directions, making it adaptable across a range of turning and boring operations. It is compatible with inserts having a 1/2 inch inscribed circle. This component is typically installed by machinists and tool crib technicians during routine insert changes or toolholder refurbishment.

This shim is suited for use in production turning, boring, and facing operations where consistent insert seating is critical to dimensional accuracy. It fits toolholders requiring the 5322 266 shim style and is applicable in both manual and CNC lathe setups. The multi-directional cutting compatibility allows a single shim style to serve multiple toolholder orientations, reducing the number of stocked components in a tool crib.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians during insert indexing or toolholder maintenance. Ensure the toolholder is removed from the machine and all clamping force is released before replacing or inspecting shims. The shim pocket and seating surface should be cleaned of chips and debris before installing the new shim. Verify that the shim seats fully and flush in the pocket before torquing the insert clamp.
