Tool-flo 562825RN4C Grooving Insert GP50 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 562825RN4C is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the FLG2125 insert style in the GP50 grade, it features a TiN (titanium nitride) coating applied via PVD process, providing improved surface hardness and wear resistance. The insert is right-hand oriented with a 3.18 mm (0.1252 inch) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 2.79 mm (0.1098 inch). A positive rake angle of 55 degrees reduces cutting forces and improves chip flow. Machinists and CNC operators in metalworking shops install this insert as part of the Flo-Lock tooling system.

This insert is suited for grooving steel workpieces in production environments where consistent groove width and depth are required. The Flo-Lock series is intended for use in compatible TOOL-FLO grooving toolholders designed for the FLG insert style. With a material grade rating of C5 and C6, this insert handles a range of steel turning applications. The lead angle of 3 degrees and full-radius-free geometry make it appropriate for standard external grooving where a controlled corner radius between 0.005 and 0.010 inch is acceptable.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in GP50 grade for wear resistance in steel applications

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine in a fully stopped and locked-out state before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert clamp hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert. Inspect the insert seat and clamping surfaces for debris or damage before seating the insert. Verify correct hand orientation and insert size code before resuming cutting operations.
