Tool-flo 593078RJ5R Grooving Insert GP3 Solid Carbide Tin

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 593078RJ5R is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Flo-Lock series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built from micrograin solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiN coating, the insert delivers a cutting width of 0.1559 inches (3.96 mm) and a maximum depth of cut of 0.1799 inches (4.57 mm). The GP3 manufacturer grade and positive rake geometry work together to reduce cutting forces and extend tool life across a range of workpiece materials. This is a right-hand insert intended for professional machinists and toolroom technicians.

The 593078RJ5R is suited for external and face grooving applications on turning equipment in both production shop and toolroom environments. Its full-radius profile, with a corner radius of 0.0780 inches (7/64 inch), makes it appropriate for groove-bottom finishing and undercut work. The secondary workpiece material rating for stainless steel indicates suitability for tougher alloy applications. Typical users include CNC machinists and turning specialists working with ferrous and stainless workpieces requiring consistent groove geometry.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide substrate for wear resistance in demanding turning applications
• PVD TiN coating improves surface hardness and reduces built-up edge on compatible workpiece materials
• Full radius geometry with a 0.0780-inch corner radius supports smooth groove-bottom profiles
• Positive rake angle of 55 degrees reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• ISO code FLR-3078R confirms Flo-Lock series compatibility for direct toolholder matching
• Right-hand orientation with a 3-degree lead angle for standard right-hand turning setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in TOOL-FLO Flo-Lock series toolholders accepting the FLR-3078R insert style. ISO code FLR-3078R is consistent with MSC/Manufacturer Number FLR-3078R/L. Confirm toolholder seat geometry and insert size code 3078 before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's torque and clamping specifications. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Do not exceed the rated maximum depth of cut for the insert grade and workpiece material combination. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and prevent premature edge failure.
