Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GP2.0RRGOLD Cutoff Grooving Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GP2.0RRGOLD 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 mm cutting width, a 7-degree right-hand lead angle, and a GP chipbreaker geometry suited for general-purpose material removal. The insert carries a PVD coating over a C6 carbide grade substrate, improving edge wear resistance during interrupted or continuous cuts. Overall length is 0.6693 inches and cutting height is 0.2756 inches. Installation is straightforward into compatible GIE-series toolholders.

This insert is suited for cut-off and grooving applications in both production turning and job-shop environments. The right-hand lead angle and GP chipbreaker make it appropriate for standard OD grooving, parting-off stock, and shallow profile cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The multi-use designation means a single insert style can serve across cutoff and grooving operations without retooling. Machinists and tooling technicians working with CNC or manual lathes will find this insert fits standard GIE-series blade-style toolholding systems.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine powered down and all axes at rest. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to the toolholder manufacturer's specified clamping procedure - do not overtighten the clamp screw. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating the new insert. Confirm insert orientation matches the right-hand lead angle requirement of the toolholder before resuming operations.
