Tool-flo 593062RN4C Grooving Insert GP50 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 593062RN4C is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Flo-Lock series, designed for right-hand grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a GP50 manufacturer grade and a PVD-applied TiN coating for extended tool life on steel workpieces. The insert delivers a cutting width of 0.125 inches (3.18 mm) and a maximum depth of cut of 0.1799 inches (4.57 mm). A full-radius geometry with a 0.062-inch corner radius and a positive 55-degree rake angle support clean chip formation and reduce cutting forces during grooving passes. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators in production turning environments.

The 593062RN4C is suited for grooving applications on steel workpieces in both production and job-shop turning operations. Its ISO code FLR-3062R designates its geometry for right-hand external or face grooving. The insert fits toolholders compatible with the Flo-Lock insert style FLR at insert size 3062, with a 3/8-inch (0.375-inch) gage diameter. Typical applications include O-ring grooves, snap-ring grooves, and profile grooving on turned components where consistent width and depth control are required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD TiN coating for wear resistance on steel
• GP50 grade rated for material grades C5 and C6
• Full-radius geometry with 0.062-inch corner radius for smooth groove floors
• Positive rake angle (55 degrees) reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• Right-hand orientation with 3-degree lead angle for directional grooving control
• Maximum depth of cut range of 0.150 to 0.200 inches (4.00 to 5.00 mm)

Compatibility

Designed for use with Flo-Lock series toolholders accepting FLR-style inserts at insert size 3062 with a 3/8-inch gage diameter. Secondary workpiece material compatibility is listed as steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator following the toolholder manufacturer's torque and clamping specifications. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing the insert. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping mechanism for wear or debris before installation. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut range specified for this insert size.
