Tool-flo 563662RA3 Grooving Insert FLG3062 C3 Carbide

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 563662RA3 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the Flo-Lock series standard, this right-hand insert carries a C3 micrograin carbide grade with a bright, uncoated finish. It delivers a cutting width of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches) and a maximum depth of cut of 3.05 mm (0.120 inches). The FLG3062 insert style uses a clamp-style holding method, making it compatible with standard Flo-Lock toolholders. Machinists and CNC operators in metalworking and production turning shops are the primary users of this insert.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting operations in production turning environments where tight groove width tolerances are required. The right-hand orientation and 3-degree lead angle position it for conventional radial grooving passes. The corner radius range of 0.005 to 0.010 inches allows for controlled root geometry at the base of the groove. The uncoated micrograin carbide construction makes it a practical choice for non-ferrous metals and materials where coating adhesion or heat buildup is a concern.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle before seating or replacing the insert. Verify the clamp and toolholder pocket are clean and free of chips before securing the insert. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting tool offsets and confirming depth-of-cut parameters.
