Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7SG0.7R Gold Grooving Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7SG0.7R GOLD is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precise, narrow-groove turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert features a 0.70 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 2.54 mm, making it suited for fine grooving, parting, and profiling applications where tight tolerances are required. A PVD-applied TiN coating improves surface hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The GIE insert style is secured via screw-holding method for repeatable indexing. This insert is intended for use by machinists and tooling professionals operating precision turning equipment.

This insert is used in CNC turning and grooving operations on lathes in job shop, production machining, and precision manufacturing environments. The SG chip breaker geometry supports chip control in shallow-to-medium groove depths ranging from 2.00 to 3.00 mm. Right-hand orientation suits standard spindle rotation setups. The C6 material grade positions this insert for cutting medium-hardness steels and similar workpiece materials. It is a single-use, non-multi-use insert intended for high-precision work where dimensional accuracy at the groove face is critical.

Key Features

• 0.70 mm cutting width for narrow, high-precision grooves
• Solid carbide construction with PVD TiN coating for wear resistance
• SG chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation
• Screw-holding insert mount for secure, repeatable indexing
• Right-hand cutting orientation for standard lathe setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement grooving insert for NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS series toolholders that accept GIE-style screw-clamped inserts with a 7SG insert size code.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all power is locked out before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat and torque the clamping screw per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify insert seating and tool nose runout before resuming cutting operations.
