Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GW60LC6 Threading Insert C6

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GW60LC6 is a carbide threading insert designed for external thread-cutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the Mini-Thread series, this insert is manufactured from C6-grade carbide, suited for threading ferrous and non-ferrous materials at production feed rates. The included angle is 60 degrees, making it compatible with standard unified and metric thread profiles. The left-hand orientation allows threading toward the chuck or on applications where a right-hand insert cannot be positioned correctly. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with precision small-diameter threading applications will find this insert a practical fit for high-volume or repetitive threading cycles.

This insert is sized for use in Mini-Thread toolholders and is intended for external threading passes on turned parts. With a thickness of 2.00 millimeters (0.0780 inches) and a corner radius starting at 0.01 mm up to a maximum of 0.12 mm, it suits fine-pitch threading on small-diameter workpieces. Typical applications include threaded fittings, fasteners, instrumentation components, and precision shaft work where controlled thread geometry is required. This insert sells in multiples of 10 units per order with a package quantity of 1.

Compatibility

Designed for use with NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS Mini-Thread series toolholders accepting GIE-style inserts. Consult the toolholder specification sheet to confirm insert pocket dimensions and clamping compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing any insert. Ensure the insert pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before clamping to achieve proper seating and thread accuracy. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the insert grade and material being threaded.
