Tool-flo 563647PRN4C Grooving Insert GP50 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 563647PRN4C is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision groove-turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the FLG-3047R-CB geometry in manufacturer grade GP50, this insert features a titanium nitride (TiN) coating applied via PVD process, delivering extended wear resistance and improved surface finish on ferrous and stainless steel workpieces. The cutting width is 1.19 mm and the maximum depth of cut is 1.91 mm, making it well-suited for narrow, controlled grooving passes. It is a double-end insert, providing two usable cutting edges per insert body.

This insert is part of the Flo-Lock series and is configured for right-hand cutting operations. It is intended for use in precision machining environments where tight groove tolerances are required. The CB chip breaker geometry is optimized for applications involving stainless steel and similar secondary workpiece materials. Machinists and CNC programmers working in job shop or production turning environments will find this insert appropriate for internal and external grooving applications requiring consistent chip control at fine widths.

Compatibility

Designed for use in Flo-Lock series grooving toolholders accepting FLG-style inserts with insert size code 3047CB. ISO code for this insert is FLG-3047R-CB. Verify toolholder compatibility against the FLG insert size and clamping method before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine fully stopped and all axes at rest. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the clamp securely without overtightening, following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping guidelines. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure proper contact and runout. Confirm correct insert orientation for right-hand cutting direction before resuming operation.
