Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7SG0.7R C2 Grooving Insert Carbide

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7SG0.7R C2 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert features a 0.028 inch (0.70 mm) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.100 inch (2.54 mm), making it suited for tight-tolerance groove profiles. Manufactured to C2 carbide grade with an SG chip breaker geometry, it is held in place via a screw-clamping method. This insert is installed and changed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is intended for right-hand grooving applications in metalworking operations where narrow groove widths and controlled chip evacuation are required. The SG chip breaker geometry supports consistent chip formation during grooving passes. At 17.00 mm overall length and 7.00 mm cutting height, the GIE7SG0.7R C2 fits toolholders designed for the GIE insert style within the Nikcole Mini-Systems series. It is suitable for use on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials where C2 carbide grade performance is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Use the correct torque driver for the clamping screw to avoid insert movement or screw damage - refer to the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque specification. Confirm insert orientation matches the right-hand cutting direction before resuming operations.
