Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GP1.5L L C5 Carbide Cutoff Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GP1.5L L C5 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and slot operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 1.5 mm (0.0591 inches) cutting width, a 7-degree left-hand lead angle, and a C5 material grade with a TiN coating for extended tool life. The insert measures 17.00 mm (0.6693 inches) in overall length and 7.00 mm (0.2756 inches) in cutting height, with a maximum depth of cut of 6.00 mm (0.2362 inches). It is installed and changed out by machinists and CNC toolroom technicians.

This insert is suited for cut-off and grooving applications on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in production turning environments. The left-hand orientation makes it appropriate for specific toolholder configurations where right-to-left cutting direction is required. The GIE insert style is part of the Nikcole Mini-Systems series, a product line focused on small-diameter and precision grooving tooling commonly found in high-volume turning operations and Swiss-style machining cells.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the insert - do not overtighten the clamp screw. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for chips or debris before mounting to ensure proper seating and runout control.
