It features a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating applied via Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process, which improves surface hardness and wear resistance during interrupted or continuous cuts. The insert is left-hand orientation, sized at 17 mm in length (0.6690 decimal inch) with a width of 3.17 mm (0.1250 inch) and a thickness of 0.1248 inch. Grade C5 carbide construction makes it suitable for moderate-to-high cutting speeds on ferrous materials. It is held in place via screw clamping and offers two cutting edges per insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for grooving applications in production and job-shop turning environments. Its primary workpiece materials are stainless steel and steel, designated by workpiece material code M. The Mini-Systems series is built for small-part turning and grooving where precision groove width and depth control are critical. A maximum depth of cut of 0.2360 inch and an insert size code of 7 keep it well-suited for light to medium grooving passes. Machinists and CNC operators working with tight-tolerance components in aerospace, medical, or general metal fabrication will find this insert a practical fit for their tool holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction, Grade C5, for consistent performance on stainless steel and steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating via PVD process for enhanced wear resistance and longer tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand insert orientation for appropriate tool holder pairing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo cutting edges per insert for extended service before replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew-held insert style for secure, repeatable seating in compatible tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum depth of cut: 0.2360 inch  -  suitable for light to medium grooving passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in NIKCOLE Mini-Systems series left-hand screw-clamp tool holders accepting GIE-style inserts with insert size code 7 and a 1\/8-inch width.

Ensure the insert pocket and seating surface are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Use the manufacturer-specified torx or hex key to torque the clamping screw  -  do not over-tighten, as this can fracture the carbide. Confirm correct left-hand orientation relative to the tool holder before resuming cutting operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17.00 mm (0.6690 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.17 mm (0.1250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1248 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2360 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grooving\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mini-Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\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: NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIE-7SC3L C5PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67907121676594,"sku":"GIE-7SC3L C5PVD","price":333.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/830eb360773d5c16abaf6653b51810b7.jpg?v=1791174622","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nikcole-mini-systems-gie-7sc3l-c5pvd-turning-insert-grooving","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
