Tool-flo 563662PRAC3R Grooving Insert Flo-lock Carbide

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 563662PRAC3R is a solid carbide grooving insert engineered for precision turning and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the Flo-Lock series, this insert carries the AC3 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied AlTiN coating for improved heat resistance and tool life at elevated cutting speeds. It features a 0.062 inch cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 0.12 inches, and a neutral rake angle. The double-end configuration maximizes usable life per insert. A clamp-style holding method provides rigid seating in compatible Flo-Lock toolholders. Installed by machinists and toolroom technicians working in production or job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for grooving and turning applications in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel. The AlTiN coating performs well in dry or semi-dry cutting conditions common in stainless and cast iron work. The 0.375 inch gage diameter and FLG insert style make it a fit for Flo-Lock series toolholders requiring the FLG-3062R-CB profile. Corner radii range from 0.005 to 0.010 inches, providing a controlled edge for finish-sensitive grooving passes. The 3-degree lead angle contributes to stable entry in interrupted or continuous cut scenarios.

Compatibility

Designed for use in Flo-Lock series toolholders accepting FLG-style inserts with an FLG-3062R-CB profile and a 0.375 inch gage diameter. ISO code FLG-3062R-CB. Verify toolholder seat specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Ensure the clamp and insert pocket are free of chips and debris before seating the insert to prevent improper registration. Do not exceed the rated maximum depth of cut of 0.12 inches for this insert style.
