Tool-flo 6332125LAC3R Grooving Insert Flo-lock Left Hand

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 6332125LAC3R is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the Flo-Lock series designation and features an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating applied via PVD process, which provides heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous materials. The insert is left-hand orientation with a 0.125 inch cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.437 inches. A clamp-style holding method secures the insert in the toolholder. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop turning environments.

This insert is suited for grooving, undercutting, and parting operations on cast iron and steel workpieces. The AlTiN coating makes it particularly effective in dry or semi-dry cutting conditions where heat buildup is a concern. The Flo-Lock series is designed for secure insert clamping in compatible toolholders, making it a practical choice for interrupted cuts and moderate-to-high feed applications on ferrous materials. Its left-hand orientation suits specific toolholder configurations and spindle-direction requirements.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating via PVD process for heat resistance and wear life on ferrous materials
• 0.125 inch cutting width suited for narrow grooving and parting operations
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.437 inches
• Left-hand orientation for compatible toolholder configurations
• Clamp-style insert holding method for rigid, repeatable seating
• Corner radius range of 0.005 to 0.010 inches for controlled edge geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use in Flo-Lock series clamp-style grooving toolholders that accept FLGT3125 insert style. Primary workpiece materials are cast iron and steel. ISO code FLGT3125L and manufacturer catalog number FLGT-3125L apply to this insert.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine powered down and in a safe, locked-out state before handling tooling. Seat the insert fully in the toolholder pocket and confirm the clamp is torqued per the toolholder manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or debris prior to each insert change. Dispose of worn carbide inserts in accordance with applicable shop safety and waste-handling procedures.
