Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GP1.5L R C5 Cutoff Grooving Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GP1.5L R C5 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and groove operations on metalworking lathes and turning centers. It features a 1.5 mm (0.0591 inches) cutting width and a 7-degree right-hand lead angle, making it suited for right-hand approach cuts on steel workpieces. The insert carries a C5 material grade with a PVD coating applied over solid carbide substrate. Overall length is 17.00 mm (0.6693 inches) and cutting height is 7.00 mm (0.2756 inches). This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

The GIE7GP1.5L R C5 is intended for cut-off and grooving applications on steel workpieces in both manual and CNC turning operations. The GP chipbreaker geometry supports chip control during grooving passes. With a maximum depth of cut of 6.00 mm (0.2350 inches), it handles moderate-depth parting operations on typical turned diameters. This insert is part of the Nikcole Mini-Systems series and is designated as a multi-use tooling solution. It is applicable in production shops requiring consistent, repeatable insert changeovers with indexable toolholders compatible with GIE-series seating.
