Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GR1.0 R C6 Grooving Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GR1.0 R C6 is a solid carbide right-hand grooving insert engineered for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to C6 material grade with a full radius corner profile, this insert delivers a 1.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 6.00 mm, making it well suited for tight-tolerance groove work in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. A screw-type holding method ensures rigid clamping during interrupted cuts. Machinists and tooling specialists working in production turning environments will find this insert ready for demanding, repeatable grooving cycles.

This grooving insert fits applications requiring consistent groove geometry in medium-duty turning operations. The GR chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation in both through-coolant and dry cutting setups. With a 7-degree lead angle and a 0.50 mm corner radius, the insert is particularly appropriate for groove profiles where surface finish and dimensional repeatability are critical. It is suited for use in automated production lines and manual turning cells alike, typically installed by machining technicians and toolroom professionals.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with C6 manufacturer grade for wear resistance in ferrous grooving
• 1.00 mm cutting width for precise, narrow-groove applications
• 6.00 mm maximum depth of cut with an operational range of 5.00 mm to 10.00 mm
• Full radius profile with 0.50 mm corner radius for smooth groove floor geometry
• GR chip breaker for controlled chip formation and evacuation
• Screw-type holding method for secure, repeatable insert seating

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and production grooving insert for toolholders in the Nikcole Mini-Systems series that accept GIE-style inserts with a 7GR10 size code and right-hand orientation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machining technicians. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to secure the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer specification - do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide. Verify insert seating and edge indexing before resuming cutting operations.
