Sandvik Coromant 5762573 Indexable Toolholder Shim

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5762573 is an indexable toolholder shim designed to maintain precise insert seating depth and protect the shim pocket in indexable cutting tool assemblies. Manufactured to the 5322 331 shim style, this shim measures 0.1875 inches thick and is sized for inserts with a 1/2 inch inscribed circle. It supports a positive rake geometry and accommodates both left-hand and right-hand cutting directions. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this shim as a replacement or stock component in indexable toolholder systems where consistent insert positioning is critical to surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

This shim is suited for use in indexable turning, boring, or milling toolholders that accept a 1/2 inch inscribed circle insert with the 5322 331 shim seat. It applies to both left-hand and right-hand tool configurations running positive rake insert geometry. Typical applications include production turning and general metalcutting operations where the shim pocket experiences wear or damage during insert changes. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians during routine toolholder maintenance or after pocket damage from insert failure. Always secure the toolholder in a vise or fixture and ensure the machine is fully powered down and locked out before servicing any cutting tool assembly. Clean the shim pocket of chips and debris before seating the new shim, and confirm the shim sits flat without rocking before torquing the insert clamp. Do not reuse a visibly deformed or cracked shim.
