Tool-flo 563647LAC3R Grooving Insert Flo-lock Left Hand

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 563647LAC3R is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the Flo-Lock series, this double-ended, left-hand insert features an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) PVD coating that extends tool life when cutting ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a cutting width of 0.047 inches and a maximum depth of cut of 0.075 inches, it is built for tight-tolerance groove applications where consistent width and finish are critical. The AC3 manufacturer grade and C2/C3 material grade ratings make it well suited for production turning environments.

This insert is intended for use in ferrous and non-ferrous machining applications including cast iron, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals. It fits into Flo-Lock series toolholders that accept size 3 insert seats. The neutral rake geometry and 0 degree lead angle support stable cutting action across a range of materials. It is a practical choice for machinists running repetitive grooving cycles where insert changeover speed and dimensional repeatability matter.

• Left-hand orientation, double-ended for extended usable life per insert
• Cutting width: 0.047 inches; maximum depth of cut: 0.075 inches
• Corner radius range: 0.005 to 0.010 inches for controlled edge geometry
• Neutral rake, 0 degree lead angle for broad material compatibility
• Insert size 3047, fits Flo-Lock series size 3 insert seats

Compatibility

Designed for use with Flo-Lock series toolholders accepting a size 3 insert seat. ISO code FLG3047L and catalog number FLG-3047L apply. Compatible with cast iron, non-ferrous metal, and stainless steel workpiece materials as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician during tool setup on a CNC or manual turning center. Power down the machine and engage the spindle lock before seating or removing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert clamp to the correct clamping torque per that toolholder's documentation. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before seating a new insert to avoid seating errors that affect cutting geometry.
