Tool-flo 563694PRN4C Grooving Insert GP50 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 563694PRN4C is a solid carbide grooving insert from the Flo-Lock series, designed for precise grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a Titanium Nitride (TiN) finish applied via PVD coating, which improves wear resistance and extends tool life in demanding cuts. The insert is right-hand orientation with a cutting width of 0.0941 inches and a maximum depth of cut of 0.18 inches. Grade GP50 construction makes it well suited for consistent performance in both ferrous and stainless steel applications. Machinists and toolroom technicians specify this insert for tight-tolerance groove profiles where controlled chip formation is required.

The 563694PRN4C is intended for use in grooving applications on CNC turning equipment, particularly where stainless steel is a primary workpiece material. It fits the Flo-Lock insert style FLG-3094R-CB and is designed for use with compatible Flo-Lock toolholders. The CB chip breaker geometry assists in chip control during grooving passes. With a lead angle of 3 degrees and a gage diameter of 0.375 inches, this insert suits applications requiring precise groove geometry with controlled corner radii between 0.005 and 0.01 inches.

Compatibility

Designed for use with compatible Flo-Lock series toolholders accepting the FLG insert style. ISO code FLG-3094R-CB and insert size code 3094CB apply when cross-referencing to Flo-Lock tooling systems. Secondary workpiece material compatibility includes stainless steel as specified in product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician using compatible Flo-Lock toolholder hardware. Before changing inserts, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is placed in a safe, locked-out state per your facility lockout/tagout procedures. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as required by the toolholder to seat the insert securely without overtightening. Verify insert orientation is right-hand before beginning a test cut.
