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

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GP1.5R N C5 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and groove operations on steel workpieces. Built to the GIE insert style with a GP chipbreaker, it delivers a 1.5 mm cutting width and a neutral lead angle for balanced, straight cuts. The C5 material grade combined with a PVD coating process provides wear resistance and consistent edge performance across repeat use. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC lathe operators working in production and job-shop environments where reliable cutoff geometry and dimensional repeatability are required.

This insert is suited for cut-off and grooving applications on steel in both manual and CNC turning setups. The right-hand orientation and neutral 0-degree lead angle make it a versatile choice for standard parting operations. With an overall length of 17.00 mm and a cutting height of 7.00 mm, it fits toolholders designed for the Nikcole Mini-Systems series. The maximum depth of cut reaches 6.00 mm, making it appropriate for moderate-diameter stock. Multi-use designation means a single insert can serve across both cutoff and grooving tasks without a toolholder change.

Key Features

• 1.5 mm cutting width for precise parting and narrow groove profiles
• Solid carbide construction with C5 material grade for durability on steel
• PVD coating process extends cutting edge life and reduces built-up edge
• GP chipbreaker geometry controls chip flow in cutoff and grooving operations
• Neutral lead angle with right-hand orientation for balanced radial cutting forces
• Maximum depth of cut of 6.00 mm supports moderate stock diameters

Compatibility

Designed for use with Nikcole Mini-Systems series toolholders accepting GIE-style inserts with a 1.5 mm cutting width and right-hand, neutral lead angle configuration.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by qualified machinists following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping specifications. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all energy is locked out before handling inserts or adjusting toolholders. Inspect the insert seat and clamping screw for debris or wear before seating a new insert. Proper seating and clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer's documentation are required to maintain cutting geometry and prevent insert movement during operation.
