Tool-flo 593094RN4C Grooving Insert GP50 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 593094RN4C is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the FLR3094 insert style in grade GP50, this right-hand insert features a TiN coating applied via PVD process, which reduces friction and extends tool life when cutting steel and similar workpiece materials. The cutting width measures 0.189 inches (4.80 mm) with a maximum depth of cut of 0.1799 inches (4.57 mm). A full-radius geometry with a corner radius of 0.094 inches and a positive rake angle of 55 degrees promotes clean chip formation and reduces cutting forces during groove profiling.

This insert is suited for external grooving, profiling, and light parting on lathes where a right-hand Flo-Lock series toolholder is in use. The GP50 carbide grade with C5/C6 material grade rating makes it a practical choice for machining steel components in production and job-shop environments. It is installed by machinists and CNC operators following standard insert seating procedures for Flo-Lock style toolholders. The 3/8-inch gage diameter and 3094 insert size code are essential when selecting the correct matching holder.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in grade GP50 (material grade C5/C6) for durability in steel cutting
• TiN coating via PVD process reduces friction and extends cutting edge life
• Full radius geometry with 0.094-inch corner radius for smooth groove profiles
• Positive rake angle (55 degrees) reduces cutting forces and improves chip control
• Right-hand orientation; ISO code FLR-3094R for holder cross-reference
• 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 right-hand grooving toolholders accepting the FLR-3094R insert style. Compatible toolholder selection should reference the 3094 insert size code, 3/8-inch gage diameter, and right-hand orientation. Secondary workpiece material rating is steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Before changing inserts, power down and lock out the machine per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Seat the insert fully into the Flo-Lock pocket and verify positive clamping engagement before resuming operation. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut specification; verify lead angle setup matches the 3-degree lead angle of this insert.
