Built to the FLG3250 insert style in manufacturer grade GP50, this left-hand insert features a 0.25-inch (6.35 mm) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.18 inches (4.57 mm). The carbide substrate receives a PVD-applied TiN coating for improved wear resistance and extended tool life. It belongs to TOOL-FLO's Flo-Lock series, which uses a clamp-style insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating during interrupted and continuous grooving cuts. Licensed machinists and CNC turning technicians are the primary installers and users of this insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for grooving operations on a range of workpiece materials, with stainless steel listed as a secondary workpiece material, making it a viable choice in shops handling corrosion-resistant alloy components. The Flo-Lock series is designed for external grooving applications in production turning environments, both in job shop and manufacturing settings. The GP50 grade and TiN PVD coating combination targets applications where a balance of toughness and surface hardness is needed. The left-hand designation determines the direction of tool approach and must be matched to the toolholder orientation and machine setup before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with PVD-applied TiN coating for wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.25-inch (6.35 mm) cutting width for consistent groove sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum depth of cut of 0.18 inches (4.57 mm); operating range 0.15 to 0.20 inches (4.00 to 5.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand insert orientation for specific toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorner radius in the range of 0.020 to 0.025 inches for controlled edge geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamp-style insert holding method for secure and repeatable seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for stainless steel and comparable workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert corresponds to ISO code FLG3250L and manufacturer catalog number FLG-3250L within the Flo-Lock series.

Before changing inserts, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in a safe, locked-out state per shop lockout\/tagout procedures. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket before tightening the clamp to avoid insert movement during cutting. Verify insert hand orientation and cutting direction against the programmed toolpath before resuming operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (6.35 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 inches (4.57 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth of Cut Operating Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 to 0.20 inches (4.00 to 5.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.344 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGage Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.020 to 0.025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: GP50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: FLG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3250\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flo-Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: FLG3250L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TOOL-FLO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 573050LN4E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TOOL-FLO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67916735545650,"sku":"573050LN4E","price":51.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2a3ba6158f73fbfc293c7097afd70a5f.jpg?v=1791259043","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/tool-flo-573050ln4e-grooving-insert-gp50-left-hand-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
