Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GR2.0L C2 Grooving Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GR2.0L C2 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the GIE insert style with a C2 carbide grade, this left-hand insert delivers a 2.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 6.00 mm. The full-radius geometry (1.00 mm corner radius) and GR chip breaker promote controlled chip evacuation during interrupted and continuous grooving cuts. Screw-clamping provides rigid, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders. This insert is manufactured to ISO 9001 standards and suits production environments where dimensional accuracy and insert consistency are critical.

This insert is intended for use in metalworking and precision machining applications where tight-tolerance grooves, O-ring channels, or undercuts are required. It is suited to ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials compatible with C2 uncoated carbide. The left-hand orientation makes it appropriate for specific toolholder setups and approach directions on turning equipment. Machinists, CNC programmers, and tool crib personnel working in job shops or production machine shops will find this insert applicable to a range of grooving and profiling operations within the stated depth-of-cut range.

Compatibility

Designed for use with GIE-style toolholders within the Nikcole Mini-Systems series that accept screw-clamped grooving inserts of this geometry and cutting width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before changing inserts, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out per shop safety procedures. Use the correct screw-drive tool to seat the insert without over-torquing the clamping screw. Verify insert orientation and seating before resuming cutting operations.
