Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GW55L C2 Threading Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GW55L C2 is a carbide threading insert from the Mini System series, designed for precision thread cutting on both internal and external thread forms. Built to a C2 carbide grade, this insert delivers consistent cutting performance on a range of common engineering materials. It features a left-hand orientation and a 55-degree included angle, making it suited to Whitworth, BSP, and related thread profiles. At 0.0780 inches thick with a maximum corner radius of 0.0050 inches, it is a compact, high-tolerance insert for small-to-medium threading operations on CNC lathes and manual threading equipment.

The GIE7GW55L C2 is intended for use in machining environments where consistent thread geometry and insert repeatability are priorities. The GIE insert style and Mini System series designation indicate compatibility with NIKCOLE Mini System toolholders and threading bars. This insert is applicable to both internal threading of bores and external threading of shafts and fastener stock. It is a suitable choice for production machining shops, tool rooms, and maintenance machining operations working with 55-degree thread standards. Package quantity is 1 insert; minimum order quantity is 10 units.

Installation Notes

Threading inserts of this type are installed and replaced by machinists or tooling technicians on CNC or manual lathes. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer - do not overtighten the clamping screw, as this can fracture carbide. Confirm insert seating and runout before resuming cutting operations.
