Tool-flo 563647PLAC3R Grooving Insert Left Hand Flo-lock

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 563647PLAC3R is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the Flo-Lock series, this left-hand insert carries the AC3 manufacturer grade and features an aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN) coating applied via PVD process. The cutting width measures 0.047 inches with a maximum depth of cut of 0.075 inches, making it suited for narrow, controlled grooving passes. Machinists and tool room technicians use this insert where tight dimensional tolerances and consistent tool life are required across production runs.

This insert is intended for use in Flo-Lock style clamping toolholders on manual or CNC turning equipment. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel. The double-end configuration extends usable life per insert. The neutral rake angle and CB chip breaker geometry help manage chip flow in continuous or interrupted grooving cuts. This insert is a single unit sold as part of a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces per order.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and changed by qualified machinists or tool room technicians. Power down the machine and engage all safety locks before replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer - do not overtighten the clamp screw. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper contact and dimensional accuracy.
