Tool-flo 641132FN4C Profiling Insert FLPL132 GP50 Carbide

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 641132FN4C is a solid carbide profiling and turning insert in the FLPL series, designed for precise material removal on CNC lathes and turning centers. This left-hand, parallelogram-shaped insert carries a GP50C manufacturer grade and features a TiN coating applied via PVD process for improved wear resistance and surface finish. At 0.188 inches thick with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 0.031-inch corner radius, it delivers consistent geometry across profiling passes. With two cutting edges and a positive rake angle of 10 degrees, it is suited for finish and semi-finish turning operations where edge sharpness and chip control are critical.

This insert is intended for profiling and turning applications in production and job-shop environments. It fits standard FLPL-series toolholders that accept the 132F insert size code. The 8-degree relief angle and common chipbreaker geometry make it a practical choice for both ferrous and non-ferrous turning work at moderate to high cutting speeds. It is typically installed by CNC machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and machining technicians working with manual or automated turning equipment. The maximum depth of cut reaches 0.515 inches, providing flexibility across a range of profiling pass depths.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with GP50C grade for wear resistance in turning and profiling
• TiN PVD coating for extended tool life and reduced built-up edge
• Parallelogram insert shape with 55-degree included angle for profiling geometry
• Positive rake angle of 10 degrees promotes clean cutting action and reduced cutting forces
• Two cutting edges per insert for cost-effective use
• Corner radius of 0.031 inches for controlled surface finish on profiled contours

Compatibility

Designed for use in FLPL-series toolholders accepting the FLPL-132F insert size and clamp or pin holding method. Confirm toolholder bore and clamping style before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or machining technicians. Shut down the spindle and confirm the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before seating or indexing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer for clamp screws - do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or damage before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and repeatable geometry.
