Tool-flo 562631LAC3R Grooving Insert AC3 Left Hand Flo-lock

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 562631LAC3R is a solid carbide grooving insert engineered for precision grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the AC3 manufacturer grade and features an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating applied via PVD process, delivering improved wear resistance and heat tolerance in demanding cutting environments. The insert is left-hand oriented with a 0.79 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm, making it well suited for narrow grooving and light parting work. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this insert into compatible Flo-Lock series toolholders as a direct, repeatable cutting-edge replacement.

This insert is designed for use in the TOOL-FLO Flo-Lock series insert system, commonly found in production turning and Swiss-style machining environments. Its primary workpiece materials include cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel, covering a broad range of typical shop applications. The clamp-style holding method provides positive insert retention during interrupted cuts or high-feed passes. The FLG insert style and size code 2031 identify the exact seat geometry required in the matching toolholder.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating via PVD process for extended tool life in abrasive and heat-generating cuts
• Left-hand cutting orientation for right-to-left grooving passes
• 0.79 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm
• Corner radius range of 0.0020 to 0.0050 inches for controlled edge geometry
• Clamp-style insert holding for secure, repeatable positioning
• Rated for cast iron, non-ferrous metal, and stainless steel workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed for use with TOOL-FLO Flo-Lock series toolholders accepting the FLG insert style, size code 2031, left-hand orientation. ISO code FLG-2031L and manufacturers catalog number FLG-2031L identify the seat and insert pairing.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer torque and clamping procedures. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut specification for this insert size.
