Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GR1.0L C2 Grooving Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GR1.0L C2 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to ISO 9001 standards, this left-hand insert features a 1.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 6.00 mm. The C2 carbide grade and full-radius geometry deliver consistent chip control across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. It is screw-mounted into compatible GIE-style toolholders and is intended for use by machinists and toolroom technicians working in production or job-shop turning environments.

This insert is suited for light to medium grooving applications where tight groove width tolerances and controlled chip evacuation are required. The GR chip breaker style and 7-degree lead angle support stable cutting at the depths typical of this insert size. With a cutting height of 7.00 mm and an overall length of 17.00 mm, it fits the compact tooling setups common in Swiss-type and small-part turning. It is part of the Nikcole Mini-Systems series, which targets small-diameter and close-tolerance grooving work.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with C2 grade for wear resistance and edge integrity
• Left-hand cutting orientation for right-to-left grooving passes
• 1.00 mm cutting width with full radius geometry for clean groove profiles
• GR chip breaker for effective chip control in small-groove applications
• Screw-mount insert holding method for secure, repeatable positioning
• ISO 9001 certified manufacturing for consistent dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed for use with GIE-style grooving toolholders in the Nikcole Mini-Systems series. Verify toolholder seat dimensions and insert style code before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and replaced by machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the screw clamp to the toolholder manufacturer's recommendation without over-torquing the insert pocket. Inspect the insert seat and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating the new insert.
