Tool-flo 593031RAC50C Grooving Insert FLR3 AC50 Flo-lock

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 593031RAC50C is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the AC50 manufacturer grade and an AlTiN coating applied via PVD process, this insert delivers wear resistance and heat tolerance when cutting steel workpieces. The right-hand, double-ended FLR3 geometry provides a 0.062-inch cutting width and a full radius profile with a 0.031-inch corner radius. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with Flo-Lock tooling systems will find this insert a direct-fit component for high-precision groove profiles.

This insert is suited for grooving operations in steel in both production and job-shop turning environments. It fits into the Flo-Lock series tooling system and follows the FLR3 insert style with an insert size code of 50. The ISO code designation is FLR50R, and the matching catalog reference is FLR-3031R. It handles a maximum depth of cut of 0.125 inches and is built for right-hand cutting orientation. The double-end configuration allows for two usable cutting edges per insert, extending tool life between changeovers.
