Tool-flo 572462RN4C Grooving Insert GP50 Carbide Tin

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 572462RN4C is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and turning operations. Built to GP50 grade standards with a PVD-applied TiN coating, this right-hand insert delivers consistent cutting performance in steel and secondary ferrous workpiece materials. It carries a cutting width of 1.57 mm (0.0618 inches) and a maximum depth of cut of 2.79 mm (0.1098 inches), making it well suited for fine-tolerance groove profiles. The positive rake geometry and 55-degree rake angle reduce cutting forces and improve chip evacuation in demanding production environments. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production facilities are the primary installers.

This insert fits into the Flo-Lock toolholding system and is intended for use on CNC lathes and turning centers performing external grooving on steel workpieces. The FLGP-2062R ISO code identifies its style and size class. With a cutting height of 0.2190 inches and an overall width of 0.1500 inches, this insert is sized for compact groove geometries where dimensional accuracy is critical. It is a single-use, non-multi-use insert rated for C5 and C6 material grades, covering a broad range of carbon and alloy steels.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD TiN coating for extended tool life in steel cutting
• 1.57 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut range of 2.00 to 3.00 mm
• Positive rake geometry at 55 degrees reduces cutting forces and improves chip flow
• Right-hand orientation for standard external grooving setups on CNC turning centers
• Corner radius range of 0.0050 to 0.0100 inches for controlled edge geometry
• GP50 manufacturer grade rated for C5 and C6 material grades including steel

Compatibility

Designed for use in the Flo-Lock series toolholding system, compatible with FLGP-style insert pockets sized for the 2062 insert class on CNC lathes performing external grooving on steel and secondary steel workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert clamp to the correct clamping torque per the holder documentation. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper seating and edge engagement.
