This replacement shim sits beneath the cutting insert in the toolholder pocket, providing a stable, repeatable seating surface that protects the holder body from insert wear and impact damage. Machined to a thickness of 0.189 inches, the 9HSM420 features a neutral rake geometry and is compatible with both left-hand and right-hand cutting directions. It accepts rectangular insert shapes and is intended for use by machinists and toolroom technicians working with indexable insert tooling in turning and grooving applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shim seat is suited for production turning, grooving, and threading operations on CNC and manual lathes. It is used in applications where insert seats require replacement due to wear, damage, or insert size changes. The neutral rake profile makes it appropriate for a broad range of workpiece materials and cutting conditions. The SM series designation aligns with specific TOOL-FLO FLSR and FLSL toolholder families used in external grooving and threading operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSM shim style with neutral rake for broad material compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.189 inch thickness provides precise, repeatable insert seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with both left-hand and right-hand cutting directions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits rectangular insert shapes in FLSR and FLSL toolholder bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect replacement shim seat to protect toolholder pocket from wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 27112800 for procurement system compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirmed compatible with the following TOOL-FLO complete toolholder models: FLSL-164D, FLSL-204D, FLSR-164D, and FLSR-204D.

Power down and lock out the machine before removing or installing any toolholder components. Ensure the shim seat pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before seating the shim, as surface contamination can affect insert height and cutting geometry. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specifications for the clamp screw when securing the insert over the shim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShim Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: SM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shim Seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: SM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.189 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Insert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rectangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand and Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndexable Tool Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grooving and Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToolholder Style Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: FLSR and FLSL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Toolholder Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: FLSL-164D, FLSL-204D, FLSR-164D, FLSR-204D\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturers Catalog Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SM-420\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112800\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TOOL-FLO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9HSM420\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TOOL-FLO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67909750194482,"sku":"9HSM420","price":27.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e7e13a15f7b93644dd03f2844239fa9f.jpg?v=1791191192","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/tool-flo-9hsm420-indexable-shim-seat-grooving-threading","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
