Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GP1.ORNGOLD Cutoff Grooving Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GP1.ORNGOLD is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and groove operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to GIE insert style geometry with a GP chipbreaker, this insert delivers a 1.00 mm (0.0394 inch) cutting width with a neutral lead angle and right-hand orientation. The PVD coating over a C6 carbide grade provides wear resistance and edge stability during interrupted and continuous cuts. Machinists and CNC tooling technicians working in production turning environments are the primary installers of this insert.

This insert is suited for cut-off and grooving applications in both light and medium-duty turning. It fits the Nikcole Mini-Systems GIE-7 series toolholders and is appropriate for use on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces where tight groove widths and controlled chip formation are required. The GP chipbreaker geometry handles chip evacuation in shallow to moderate depth-of-cut scenarios, making it a practical choice for high-volume production cells as well as job-shop turning work.

• GP chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip flow during cut-off and grooving
• Neutral lead angle with right-hand insert hand for standard toolholder setups
• Maximum depth of cut of 6.00 mm (0.2362 inch) suits a range of groove depths
• ISO 9001 certified manufacturing for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Multi-use design compatible with both cut-off and grooving applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with Nikcole Mini-Systems GIE-7 series grooving and cutoff toolholders. Verify toolholder pocket specifications before installation to confirm proper insert seating and clamping engagement.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and indexing should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling technician with the machine in a full stop, locked-out condition. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert clamp to the correct clamping torque per that toolholder documentation. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating the insert, as contamination can affect insert flatness and cutting performance. Never exceed the maximum depth of cut rating for this insert style.
