Tool-flo 562658LN4C Grooving Insert GP50 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 562658LN4C is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the FLG-2058L ISO code within the Flo-Lock series, this left-hand insert features a 1.47 mm (0.0579 inch) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm (0.0500 inch). The GP50 manufacturer grade paired with a PVD-applied TiN coating delivers wear resistance and consistent edge performance across a range of workpiece materials. A positive rake angle of 55 degrees reduces cutting forces and heat buildup during interrupted or continuous groove passes.

This insert is suited for grooving applications on CNC turning equipment in job shop, production machining, and toolroom environments. The left-hand orientation positions it for specific tool holder configurations where right-to-left cutting direction is required. Its secondary workpiece material rating includes stainless steel, making it applicable where corrosion-resistant alloys are commonly machined. The Flo-Lock series geometry supports stable, repeatable seating in compatible Flo-Lock-style toolholders used in light to medium-duty grooving work.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD TiN coating for extended wear life
• 1.47 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm
• Positive rake angle (55 degrees) reduces cutting forces and improves chip flow
• Corner radius range of 0.0050 to 0.0100 inch provides edge strength without sacrificing groove profile accuracy
• Left-hand insert orientation for use in right-to-left cutting configurations
• GP50 grade with C5/C6 material grade classification covers steel and stainless steel applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in Flo-Lock series toolholders accepting FLG-2058L style inserts. Confirm toolholder insert pocket specifications before installation to ensure proper seating and clamping.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and removed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer when securing the insert clamp screw - do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure full contact and accurate positioning.
