Tool-flo 563805RAC3R Grooving Insert FLG3105 AC3 Flo-lock

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 563805RAC3R is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision turning and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the FLG-3105R ISO code within the Flo-Lock series, this double-ended insert features an AlTiN coating applied via PVD process, delivering strong heat resistance and extended tool life. It provides a 0.105 inch cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.18 inches, making it suited for moderate-depth grooving passes. Machinists and tooling technicians working in production and job-shop environments install and index this insert on compatible Flo-Lock grooving toolholders.

This insert is intended for use on CNC turning equipment handling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel workpieces. The right-hand cutting orientation and neutral rake geometry make it appropriate for standard OD grooving applications. The double-end design allows the insert to be flipped for a second cutting edge, improving cost efficiency per insert in high-run production settings. Insert seat size 3 positions it within the mid-range of the Flo-Lock toolholder family.
