Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GP2.0R N C2 Cutoff Grooving Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GP2.0R N C2 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and groove operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a 2 mm (0.0787 inches) cutting width, a neutral lead angle, and a right-hand orientation, making it suitable for straight plunge cuts without lateral cutting force bias. The C2 carbide grade and coated finish provide wear resistance across a range of turning applications. The GP chipbreaker geometry promotes chip control during cut-off and grooving passes. This insert is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians working with compatible GIE-series toolholders.

This insert is used in cut-off and grooving operations on non-ferrous metal workpieces, including aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials. It fits into the GIE 7 insert style toolholder platform within the Nikcole Mini-Systems series. Typical applications include production turning on CNC lathes where consistent groove width and clean parting cuts are required. The neutral lead angle suits direct radial plunge cuts, and the multi-use designation allows it to serve both grooving and cutoff functions in a single setup.
