Tool-flo 573494RN4C Grooving Insert GP50 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 573494RN4C is a solid carbide grooving insert engineered for precision groove cutting in metalworking applications. Designated manufacturer grade GP50 with a PVD-applied TiN coating, this right-hand insert delivers a 2.39 mm (0.0941 inch) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 4.57 mm (0.1799 inch). It carries a positive rake angle of 55 degrees and a lead angle of 3 degrees, supporting controlled chip flow and reduced cutting forces. Part of the Flo-Lock series, it is designed for use in TOOL-FLO Flo-Lock grooving toolholders and is installed by machinists and CNC lathe operators in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for grooving operations on steel workpieces in both production turning and secondary machining operations. The FLGP insert style, size code 3094, fits a 3/8 inch (0.3750 inch) gage diameter toolholder. The ISO code FLGP-3094R identifies the exact seat geometry required. Typical applications include external grooving and parting on CNC and manual lathes where consistent groove width and depth control are critical. This insert is a single-use, non-multi-use design intended for dedicated grooving setups.

Key Features

• Corner radius range of 0.0050 to 0.0100 inch for controlled groove edge geometry
• Flo-Lock series insert style for use with compatible TOOL-FLO toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with Flo-Lock series grooving toolholders accepting the FLGP-3094R insert seat, with a 3/8 inch gage diameter. Compatible workpiece material is steel. ISO insert code FLGP-3094R identifies the required holder geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully into the Flo-Lock holder pocket and tighten the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque using the appropriate wrench. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before installation to ensure proper seating and accurate cutting geometry.
