Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GP1.OR-N C2 Cutoff Grooving Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GP1.OR-N C2 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the GIE insert style with a C2 material grade and GP chipbreaker geometry, this insert delivers a 1 mm (0.0394 inches) cutting width with a neutral lead angle and right-hand orientation. The coated carbide construction provides wear resistance suited to non-ferrous metal workpieces. Maximum depth of cut reaches 6 mm (0.2362 inches), making it effective for moderate grooving depths in production turning environments.

This insert is intended for cut-off and grooving applications on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, and similar alloys. It fits into compatible GIE-series toolholders from the Nikcole Mini-Systems platform. The GP chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation during grooving passes. It is well suited for high-volume production turning where consistent groove width and clean parting cuts are required. Installation requires a compatible GIE-style insert seat and toolholder pocket of appropriate size.

Compatibility

Designed for use with GIE-series toolholders in the Nikcole Mini-Systems platform. Intended for cut-off and grooving operations on non-ferrous metal workpieces in compatible turning center insert pockets.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing inserts. Ensure the toolholder pocket and clamping mechanism are clean and free of chips before inserting. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque guidelines and do not exceed the recommended depth of cut for the insert size.
