Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GR 2.0LGOLD Grooving Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GR 2.0LGOLD is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision turning and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a TiN (titanium nitride) coating applied via PVD process, providing wear resistance and extended tool life. The insert features a 2 mm cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 6 mm, and a full radius profile with a 1 mm corner radius. Material grade C6 solid carbide makes it suitable for a range of workpiece materials where consistent groove geometry and surface finish are required. It is secured using a screw-clamping method for rigid, repeatable positioning.

This insert is intended for left-hand grooving applications in precision machining environments, including job shops, production turning cells, and toolroom operations. It fits within the Nikcole Mini-Systems series tooling platform and is well suited for producing external or internal grooves where tight width and depth tolerances are critical. Typical users include CNC machinists and tooling specialists working with compatible Nikcole Mini-Systems toolholders. The GR chip breaker geometry supports chip control during grooving cuts.

Key Features

• Solid carbide C6 grade construction for wear resistance and dimensional stability
• TiN coating via PVD process for extended cutting edge life
• 2 mm cutting width with full radius and 1 mm corner radius for consistent groove form
• Maximum depth of cut of 6 mm, with a usable range of 5 mm to 10 mm
• Left-hand insert orientation with screw-clamp holding method for secure seating
• GR chip breaker geometry for effective chip evacuation during grooving
• ISO 9001 certified manufacturing standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with Nikcole Mini-Systems series toolholders that accept GIE-style inserts with screw-clamp retention. Confirm toolholder seat dimensions and insert style code before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the pocket and torque the clamping screw to the toolholder specification before resuming cutting operations. Do not exceed the stated maximum depth of cut or cutting width for the insert size.
