Tool-flo 564825RAC3R Grooving Insert Flg 4125 AC3

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 564825RAC3R is a carbide grooving insert in the Flo-Lock series, designed for turning and grooving operations on CNC lathes and machining centers. Manufactured to grade AC3 with a PVD-applied AlTiN coating, it delivers heat and wear resistance suited for interrupted cuts and higher-speed applications. The insert carries a right-hand cutting orientation, a neutral rake geometry, and a 0.1250-inch cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 0.2500 inches. Machinists and CNC operators install this insert into compatible Flo-Lock toolholders as a replaceable cutting edge for precision grooving work.

This insert is intended for grooving, parting, and profile turning in both production and job-shop environments. The FLG style and insert size 4125 make it appropriate for applications involving steel and cast iron workpieces where the AlTiN coating provides thermal protection at the cutting edge. The neutral rake reduces cutting forces on thin-wall or chatter-prone setups. It is suited to light-to-medium grooving passes within its rated depth-of-cut range of 0.2000 to 0.3000 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing the insert. Use the correct torx or hex key to the toolholder manufacturer's specified procedure when clamping the insert - do not overtighten the clamp screw. Verify insert seating and clamp integrity before returning the machine to operation.
