Tool-flo 562658RN4C Grooving Insert GP50 Solid Carbide Tin

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 562658RN4C is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to FLG2058 geometry in the Flo-Lock series, it features a TiN coating applied via PVD process, a right-hand cutting orientation, and a GP50 manufacturer grade rated for C5 and C6 material grades. The cutting width is 1.47 mm (0.0579 inches) with a maximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm (0.0500 inches). A positive rake angle of 55 degrees reduces cutting forces and improves chip evacuation. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC tooling specialists working in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting operations on steel and stainless steel workpieces. The FLG style geometry and Flo-Lock series toolholding interface make it appropriate for high-precision finishing passes where controlled chip flow and dimensional accuracy are critical. The 3-degree lead angle and positive rake support clean entry into narrow groove profiles. Applications include OD grooving, snap ring grooves, and undercut profiles on turned components in aerospace, hydraulic, and general machining applications.

Key Features

• Maximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm (0.0500 inches) within a range up to 2.00 mm (0.0750 inches)
• Positive rake angle of 55 degrees reduces cutting forces and promotes chip control
• Right-hand cutting orientation; ISO code FLG-2058R
• Corner radius range of 0.0050 to 0.0100 inches for controlled groove edge geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use with Flo-Lock series toolholders accepting FLG-2058R style inserts. Compatible with C5 and C6 material grade workpieces including carbon steel and stainless steel. Verify toolholder seat dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is locked before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to the toolholder manufacturer's specified clamping procedure. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping wedge for wear or debris before seating a new insert.
