Tool-flo 594062RJ5R Grooving Insert GP3 Solid Carbide Tin

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 594062RJ5R is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Flo-Lock series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. This right-hand insert carries a GP3 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiN coating over a micrograin carbide substrate, delivering wear resistance and edge integrity in demanding cuts. The insert produces a 3.18 mm (0.1252 inch) cutting width and reaches a maximum depth of cut of 6.35 mm (0.2500 inch). A full radius profile with a 1/16 inch corner radius and a positive rake angle of 55 degrees help reduce cutting forces and improve chip flow in finish grooving applications. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists are the primary installers of this insert type.

This insert is suited for grooving stainless steel and similar secondary workpiece materials where edge retention and surface finish are critical. The Flo-Lock series targets applications requiring consistent groove geometry in high-mix, precision-turned part production. The FLR insert style and ISO code FLR-4062R identify the specific seat geometry and hand orientation required for correct toolholder pairing. Typical applications include external groove forming on shafts, fittings, and precision components in aerospace, medical device, and fluid-system manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide substrate for toughness and edge stability
• PVD TiN coating enhances surface hardness and reduces built-up edge on stainless steel
• Full radius profile with 1/16 inch (0.0620 inch) corner radius for smooth groove floors
• 3.18 mm cutting width and up to 6.35 mm maximum depth of cut
• Positive rake angle (55 degrees) reduces cutting forces and improves chip evacuation
• Right-hand orientation, ISO code FLR-4062R, compatible with Flo-Lock toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with Flo-Lock series toolholders accepting the FLR-4062 insert seat geometry. ISO code FLR-4062R and MSC/Manufacturer Number FLR-4062R/L confirm seat and hand compatibility. Verify toolholder seat dimensions and clamping style before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling technician following the toolholder manufacturer's torque and clamping specifications. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the toolholder seat for debris or damage before seating the insert to ensure proper contact and prevent premature edge failure. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine tool manufacturer guidelines for insert indexing and replacement.
