Tool-flo 593094RJ5R Grooving Insert GP3 Solid Carbide Tin

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 593094RJ5R 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 coating applied via PVD process, delivering wear resistance and extended tool life on a range of workpiece materials including stainless steel. The insert features a right-hand cutting orientation, a 4.80 mm (0.1890 inch) cutting width, and a maximum depth of cut of 4.57 mm (0.1799 inch). The full-radius geometry with a 3/32 inch corner radius and a positive 55-degree rake angle promotes clean chip formation and reduced cutting forces. This insert is installed and serviced by machinists and CNC tooling technicians.

The 593094RJ5R is suited for grooving, recessing, and face grooving applications on turning centers in both production and job-shop environments. Its micrograin carbide substrate and PVD TiN finish make it a practical choice for interrupted cuts and finishing passes on steel and stainless steel components. The insert size code is 3094, with ISO code FLR-3094R, and it fits toolholders designed for the Flo-Lock insert system. Typical applications include external groove profiles, undercuts, and snap-ring groove machining where consistent width and depth control are required.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide substrate for rigidity and edge retention in demanding cuts
• PVD TiN coating for improved wear resistance and reduced built-up edge on steel and stainless steel
• Full radius geometry with 3/32 inch corner radius for smooth groove base finish
• Positive rake angle (55 degrees) reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• Right-hand cutting orientation, ISO code FLR-3094R
• Maximum depth of cut range of 4.00 mm to 5.00 mm (0.1500 inch to 0.2000 inch)

Compatibility

Designed for use with Flo-Lock series toolholders that accept the FLR-3094 insert style. The ISO code FLR-3094R is compatible with toolholder designations referencing the FLR-3094R/L insert family. Confirm toolholder pocket geometry and clamping system before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians following standard insert seating procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is locked before indexing or replacing inserts. Seat the insert firmly against the pocket locating surfaces and verify torque on the clamping screw per the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert to prevent incorrect positioning or premature edge failure.
