Tool-flo 6335094PLN4C Grooving Insert GP50 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 6335094PLN4C is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to FLGD-3094L-CB geometry, this left-hand insert delivers a 0.094 inch cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.25 inches. The GP50 grade substrate carries a PVD-applied Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating, which improves wear resistance and surface finish life. The Flo-Lock series clamping design provides rigid insert retention and repeatable positioning at the toolholder, making it a reliable choice for production turning environments where dimensional consistency matters.

This insert is suited for grooving external diameters on steel and secondary workpiece materials in both production and job-shop turning setups. The CB chip breaker geometry assists with chip control during groove-in and plunge operations. The single-end design means each insert provides one cutting edge. Typical applications include groove forming, snap-ring groove machining, and width-controlled parting on shaft and sleeve components where a left-hand insert orientation is required by the toolholder or cut direction.

Key Features

• Solid carbide GP50 grade with PVD Titanium Nitride coating for extended tool life on steel
• 0.094 inch cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 0.25 inches
• CB chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation during plunge grooving
• Left-hand insert orientation for compatible Flo-Lock series toolholders
• Corner radius range of 0.005 to 0.010 inches for controlled groove edge geometry
• Clamp-style insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating

Compatibility

Designed for use with Flo-Lock series clamping toolholders that accept FLGD-3094 left-hand inserts. Compatible secondary workpiece material is steel. Verify toolholder pocket geometry and insert size code 3094 compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe index position before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully into the toolholder pocket and confirm the clamp is torqued per the toolholder manufacturer specification before resuming cuts. Do not exceed the rated maximum depth of cut for this insert geometry.
