Tool-flo 593831RN4C Grooving Insert GP50 Solid Carbide Tin

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 593831RN4C is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Flo-Lock series, designed for precision external grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the FLRP-3031R ISO code, it features a 1.57 mm (0.0618 inch) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3.18 mm (0.125 inch). The insert carries a GP50 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiN coating, a full radius corner profile, and a positive rake angle of 55 degrees. It is right-hand oriented and suited for tight-tolerance grooving in production machining environments.

This insert is configured for right-hand toolholders in the Flo-Lock series and is primarily applied to grooving operations on steel workpieces in both job-shop and high-volume production settings. The FLRP 3031 insert size fits corresponding Flo-Lock grooving toolholders with a 3/8 inch (0.375 inch) gage diameter seat. Its positive rake geometry helps reduce cutting forces, making it effective on smaller-diameter workpieces where deflection and vibration are concerns. Machinists and tooling specialists working with CNC turning equipment are the typical end users.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Flo-Lock series right-hand grooving toolholders accepting the FLRP 3031 insert size with a 3/8 inch gage diameter. Secondary workpiece material compatibility is listed as steel per manufacturer specifications.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed with the machine powered down and the spindle locked. Use the appropriate Flo-Lock toolholder wrench or torx key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer - do not overtighten the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure full, even contact. Replace the insert at the first sign of edge wear or chipping to avoid workpiece damage or toolholder seat damage.
