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

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GP1.5R R C5 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and groove operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 1.5 mm cutting width (0.0591 inches), a 7-degree right-hand lead angle, and a GP chipbreaker geometry. The insert is manufactured to a C5 material grade and finished with a PVD coating for wear resistance. The overall insert length is 17.00 mm (0.6693 inches) and cutting height is 7.00 mm (0.2756 inches). Machinists and tooling technicians working on production turning applications will find this insert suited for steel workpiece materials.

This insert is intended for cut-off and grooving operations in production and job-shop turning environments. It is a right-hand, right-hand-lead configuration, making it appropriate for standard-orientation toolholders in the GIE series. The primary workpiece material is steel, and the maximum depth of cut is 6.00 mm (0.2362 inches). The multi-use designation indicates it can handle both parting and external grooving in a single insert style, reducing the number of tooling setups required on a turning center.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all axes are in a safe position before seating or replacing the insert. Use the correct torque wrench and clamping hardware specified for GIE series toolholders to avoid insert movement or breakage during cuts. Verify insert orientation and lead-angle direction match the intended cut direction before running the first part.
