Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GP2.0L N C2 Carbide Cutoff Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GP2.0L N C2 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and groove operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to GIE insert style with a GP chipbreaker geometry, it delivers a 2.00 mm (0.0787 inches) cutting width and a neutral lead angle for straight, consistent cuts. The C2 material grade coated carbide construction is optimized for non-ferrous metal workpieces. This insert is a left-hand configuration and is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for cut-off and grooving applications on non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, brass, copper, and similar alloys. The GP chipbreaker promotes chip control during shallow and deep groove passes. With a maximum depth of cut of 6.00 mm (0.2362 inches) and an overall cutting height of 7.00 mm (0.2756 inches), it fits standard GIE-series mini-system toolholders used in both light production and high-precision turning work. The multi-use designation means the insert supports both parting and grooving in a single tool configuration.
