Tool-flo 563647RAC50C Grooving Insert Flg 3047 AC50

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 563647RAC50C is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured in the Flo-Lock series under insert style FLG, it carries the AC50 manufacturer grade with a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)-applied AlTiN coating. The cutting width measures 0.047 inches, and the maximum depth of cut reaches 0.075 inches. The neutral rake geometry and right-hand orientation make it a standard choice for machinists and toolroom technicians working in production turning environments where consistent groove profiles and tool life are critical.

This insert is suited for grooving steel workpieces in both production and job-shop turning applications. The AlTiN coating provides elevated heat resistance, supporting higher surface speeds on ferrous materials. The Flo-Lock series is designed for rigid, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders, reducing insert-to-insert variation during high-volume runs. It is typically installed by machinists and CNC operators on lathes equipped with Flo-Lock style toolholding systems. The ISO code for this insert is FLG-3047R.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with material grades C5 and C6 for wear resistance on steel
• AlTiN coating applied via PVD process for improved heat and oxidation resistance
• Cutting width of 0.047 inches with a maximum depth of cut of 0.075 inches
• Corner radius range of 0.005 to 0.010 inches for controlled groove edge geometry
• Neutral rake, right-hand orientation for standard OD grooving setups
• Flo-Lock series design for secure, repeatable insert seating in compatible holders

Compatibility

Designed for use with Flo-Lock series toolholding systems that accept FLG-style grooving inserts with insert size code 3047. ISO code FLG-3047R. Primary workpiece material is steel. Consult the TOOL-FLO Flo-Lock catalog to confirm holder compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the lathe is in an energy-isolated state before changing inserts. Seat the insert firmly in the Flo-Lock pocket and verify clamping integrity before resuming cuts. Do not exceed the rated maximum depth of cut of 0.075 inches to avoid insert fracture or workpiece damage.
