Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7GW60RC2 Threading Insert Carbide

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7GW60RC2 is a carbide threading insert designed for external thread cutting applications. Manufactured to C2 carbide grade, it delivers consistent edge retention and thermal resistance during threading operations. The insert features a 60-degree included angle and a right-hand cutting orientation, making it suited for standard unified and metric external thread profiles. At 0.0780 inches thick, this insert is part of the Mini-Thread series, engineered for compact threading tool holders used in precision machining environments. Machinists and tool and die professionals install this insert as a direct replacement in compatible boring bars and threading toolholders.

The GIE7GW60RC2 is used in external threading operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers where tight thread tolerances are required. Its Mini-Thread series designation indicates compatibility with small-profile toolholders commonly used for threading in confined spaces or on smaller-diameter workpieces. The right-hand configuration and 60-degree angle cover the most common external threading scenarios encountered in production and job shop environments. Corner radius ranges from 0.01 mm to a maximum of 0.12 mm, allowing selection flexibility based on thread root form requirements.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement threading insert for Mini-Thread series toolholders accepting GIE-style inserts with a 60-degree external thread profile and C2 carbide grade.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and replaced by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and insert screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert without cracking the carbide. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping hardware for wear or debris before seating the replacement insert.
