Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GP1.5R L C2 Carbide Cutoff Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GP1.5R L C2 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and groove operations on non-ferrous metal workpieces. Built to the GIE insert style with a GP chipbreaker geometry, it delivers a 1.5 mm cutting width and a 7-degree left-hand lead angle with right-hand insert orientation. The C2 material grade and coated finish support consistent performance in production environments. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians will find this insert suited for high-repeatability cutoff work where tight dimensional control is required.

This insert is used in cutoff and grooving applications on CNC lathes and turning centers where non-ferrous material such as aluminum, brass, or copper is being machined. The left-hand lead angle and GP chipbreaker combination supports controlled chip evacuation during parting operations. It is part of the Nikcole Mini-Systems series, which is designed for small-diameter and precision grooving work. The multi-use designation means a single insert geometry can serve both cutoff and grooving tasks, reducing tooling inventory on the shop floor.

Installation Notes

Installation and indexing of carbide grooving inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing any insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to the toolholder manufacturer's specified seating procedure - do not overtighten the clamping screw. Verify insert seating and runout before resuming cutting operations.
