Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GW55RC6 Threading Insert C6

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GW55RC6 is a carbide threading insert in the GIE Mini System series, designed for precision thread-cutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to a C6 carbide material grade, this insert handles both internal and external threading applications in a single geometry. The 55-degree included angle suits Unified, Whitworth, and similar thread forms. It runs right-hand orientation, with a corner radius of 0.004 inches and a maximum corner radius of 0.005 inches. Thickness is 0.078 inches. At 0.06 pounds, the insert is compact and engineered for high-accuracy threading passes in a production or job-shop environment.

The GIE7GW55RC6 is suited for threading operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a 55-degree thread form is required. It fits turning applications on manual lathes and CNC turning centers where Mini System toolholders are in use. The insert supports both internal thread-cutting on bores and external thread-cutting on shafts, making it a versatile choice for shops that run mixed threading work. Machinists and CNC operators handling production threading jobs will find this insert compatible with standard Mini System insert pockets.

Compatibility

Designed for use with NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS Mini System series toolholders that accept GIE-style threading inserts.

Installation Notes

Installation and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine fully stopped and all motion axes at rest. Seat the insert firmly in the pocket and torque the clamping screw to the toolholder specification before resuming cuts. Inspect the insert edge and corner radius before each use to confirm geometry integrity. Follow standard shop safety practices when handling carbide inserts, as edges are sharp and carbide is brittle.
