Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GP2.0R R C5 Carbide Cutoff Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GP2.0R R C5 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a 2.00 mm (0.0787 inches) cutting width, a 7-degree right-hand lead angle, and a TiN coating for improved wear resistance. The C5 carbide grade provides the hardness and thermal stability needed for consistent performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this insert into compatible GIE-series toolholders as a replaceable cutting element.

This insert is suited for cut-off and grooving applications in production turning environments, including both high-volume and job-shop settings. Its right-hand orientation and 7-degree lead angle make it appropriate for standard OD grooving and parting on conventional lathe setups. The multi-use designation confirms it is rated for both cut-off and grooving work within the same tool system. Overall insert length is 17.00 mm (0.6693 inches) and cutting height is 7.00 mm (0.2756 inches), placing it in a compact form factor suitable for close-clearance work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the turret indexed to a safe position before seating or removing cutting inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and insert screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer - do not over-torque the clamping screw, as this can fracture the insert body. Confirm insert seating and edge condition before resuming cutting operations.
