Tool-flo 563631LN4C Grooving Insert GP50 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 563631LN4C is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision groove turning and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the FLG-3031L ISO code specification, this insert features a TiN (titanium nitride) coating applied via PVD process, which enhances surface hardness and wear resistance. The GP50 grade is suited for a range of grooving applications including general-purpose and stainless steel workpieces. With a cutting width of 0.79 mm (0.0310 decimal inch) and a maximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm (0.0500 decimal inch), this insert is engineered for tight-tolerance groove profiles. It is double-ended, offering two usable cutting edges per insert.

This insert is intended for use in Flo-Lock series toolholders and is configured for left-hand cutting. Typical applications include external and internal grooving, recessing, and undercut operations on ferrous and stainless steel workpieces in production machining environments. The clamp-style holding method provides secure seating in compatible Flo-Lock toolholder blocks. This insert is used by CNC machinists and toolroom technicians in job shop and production settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing the insert. Use the appropriate clamp key or torx driver as specified by the Flo-Lock toolholder documentation to secure the clamp without overtightening. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating to ensure accurate positioning and prevent premature edge failure.
