Tool-flo 563678RJ5R Grooving Insert GP3 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 563678RJ5R is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the FLG-3078R ISO code, this right-hand insert features a 1.98 mm (0.0780 inch) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3.05 mm (0.1201 inch). The GP3 grade micrograin carbide substrate is finished with a PVD-applied TiN coating for wear resistance and extended tool life. Machinists and tooling specialists working in production turning environments install this insert into compatible Flo-Lock toolholders for consistent groove geometry and repeatable performance.

This insert is suited for grooving operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in both job shop and production settings. The positive rake geometry at a 55-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and supports clean chip evacuation in tight groove profiles. The 3-degree lead angle and corner radius range of 0.0050 to 0.0100 inch make it appropriate for applications where groove edge condition and surface finish matter. It is typically installed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians as part of a Flo-Lock insert system setup.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin substrate for rigidity and edge retention in grooving applications
• PVD TiN coating applied for improved wear resistance and reduced friction at the cutting edge
• 1.98 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 3.05 mm for precise groove geometry
• Positive rake angle of 55 degrees promotes lower cutting forces and cleaner chip flow
• Corner radius range of 0.0050 to 0.0100 inch supports controlled groove edge profiles
• Right-hand orientation for standard CNC lathe grooving setups using Flo-Lock toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with TOOL-FLO Flo-Lock series toolholders accepting the FLG-3078R insert style. Cross-reference number FLG-3078R/L is noted in manufacturer documentation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine powered down and in a safe, locked-out state. Seat the insert fully into the Flo-Lock toolholder pocket and secure the clamping mechanism according to the toolholder manufacturer torque guidance. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for debris or wear before installation to ensure proper seating and to prevent edge chipping. Do not exceed the stated maximum depth of cut range of 0.1000 to 0.1500 inch for this insert size.
