Tool-flo 563631RJ5R Grooving Insert GP3 Solid Carbide Tin

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 563631RJ5R is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured in the FLG3031 insert style with a GP3 micrograin carbide grade, it features a PVD-applied TiN coating that extends cutting edge life in demanding turning applications. The insert is right-hand oriented with a 0.79 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm, making it well suited for fine groove work where dimensional accuracy is critical. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops or production turning environments install and index this insert as part of routine tooling maintenance.

This insert fits into the Flo-Lock series toolholding system and is intended for grooving applications where tight groove widths and controlled depths are required. The positive rake geometry and 55-degree rake angle help reduce cutting forces, which is advantageous when machining softer ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 3-degree lead angle and corner radius range of 0.0020 to 0.0050 inch contribute to clean groove walls and controlled surface finish. This insert is a single-use, non-multi-use design intended for dedicated grooving rather than general-purpose turning.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin GP3 grade for wear resistance and edge retention
• PVD TiN coating extends tool life and reduces built-up edge
• 0.79 mm cutting width with maximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm for precision groove dimensions
• Positive rake geometry with 55-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces
• Right-hand insert orientation for standard Flo-Lock series holders
• Corner radius range of 0.0020 to 0.0050 inch for controlled groove corner geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use with TOOL-FLO Flo-Lock series grooving toolholders accepting FLG-3031R style inserts with a 3/8-inch gage diameter.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and indexed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or clamp-screw driver specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert without over-torquing the clamp. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper seating and accurate groove geometry.
