Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GP2.0R L C2 Cutoff Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GP2.0R L C2 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and groove operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 2.00 mm (0.0787 inch) cutting width, a 7-degree left-hand lead angle, and a right-hand insert orientation with a GP chipbreaker geometry. The C2 material grade with coated finish supports consistent performance on non-ferrous metals. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this insert into compatible GIE-series mini-system toolholders for high-accuracy cutoff work.

This insert is suited for cutoff and grooving applications on non-ferrous workpiece materials in both production and job-shop environments. The GP chipbreaker promotes controlled chip evacuation during shallow to moderate-depth grooving passes. With a maximum depth of cut of 6.00 mm (0.2362 inch) and an overall cutting height of 7.00 mm (0.2756 inch), it covers a wide range of standard grooving scenarios on small to mid-size turned components. It is a multi-use tool compatible with both cut-off and grooving operations within the Nikcole Mini-Systems series.

Compatibility

Designed for use with GIE-series Nikcole Mini-Systems toolholders; the manufacturer cross-reference number is GIE-7-GP-2.0 R-L. Confirm toolholder pocket geometry and clamping style match this insert size and hand before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and replaced by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians following standard turning center lockout and energy isolation procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe indexed position before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert key specified by the toolholder manufacturer - do not overtighten the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating to ensure proper contact and repeatable tool height.
