This left-hand insert carries a GP50 manufacturer grade and features a PVD-applied TiN coating for improved wear resistance and extended tool life. With a cutting width of 0.178 inches (4.52 mm) and a maximum depth of cut of 0.180 inches (4.57 mm), it is sized for controlled, repeatable grooving in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It belongs to the Flo-Lock series and is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for grooving applications on lathes where left-hand orientation is required, including O-ring groove cutting, snap-ring groove work, and part-off operations. The FLG insert style fits Flo-Lock compatible toolholders designed for the 3\/8-inch gage diameter and 3178 insert size designation. It is appropriate for both light and moderate-duty cuts within its rated depth range of 0.150 to 0.200 inches (4.00 to 5.00 mm), making it a practical choice for shops running medium to fine finishing passes on turned components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with PVD TiN coating for wear resistance in continuous and interrupted grooving cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand insert orientation for left-hand toolholder configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCutting width of 0.178 inches (4.52 mm) with maximum depth of cut of 0.180 inches (4.57 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorner radius range of 0.005 to 0.010 inches for controlled groove geometry with a non-full-radius profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGP50 grade with C5\/C6 material grade rating, suitable for a broad range of turning materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlo-Lock series, FLG insert style with 3-degree lead angle and 55-degree rake angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Flo-Lock series toolholders accepting the FLG insert style in the 3178 insert size with a 3\/8-inch gage diameter.
