Tool-flo 592031LJ5R Grooving Insert GP3 Solid Carbide Tin

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 592031LJ5R is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Flo-Lock series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a GP3 manufacturer grade with a TiN (titanium nitride) PVD coating for extended tool life. The insert has a 1.57 mm cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 2.79 mm, and a positive rake angle of 55 degrees. The full-radius geometry and micrograin carbide substrate make it well suited for consistent, clean groove profiles in demanding applications. This is a left-hand insert intended for use in compatible Flo-Lock toolholders.

This insert is intended for grooving operations in metalworking environments, particularly where stainless steel and similar materials are machined. The ISO code FLR-2031L identifies its geometry and hand orientation. It fits applications where a 3/16-inch gage diameter and a maximum depth of cut in the 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm range are required. Machinists and toolroom technicians working on production turning and finishing operations will find this insert applicable to both light and moderate grooving tasks where dimensional accuracy and finish quality are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide substrate for hardness and wear resistance
• TiN PVD coating improves surface finish and extends insert life
• 1.57 mm cutting width with full-radius geometry for consistent groove profiles
• Positive rake angle (55 degrees) reduces cutting forces
• Left-hand orientation; ISO code FLR-2031L
• Rated for secondary workpiece material: stainless steel

Compatibility

Designed for use in TOOL-FLO Flo-Lock series grooving toolholders that accept the FLR-2031L insert style. Verify toolholder compatibility using the ISO code FLR-2031L and insert size code 2031 before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine powered off and the spindle locked. Seat the insert fully in the toolholder pocket before tightening the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before each use, as contamination can affect insert seating and dimensional accuracy. Follow the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when changing cutting inserts.
