Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7SG0.9R C6 Grooving Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7SG0.9R C6 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision groove turning and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the GIE insert style with an SG chip breaker geometry, this right-hand insert delivers a 0.9 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 2.54 mm. The C6 carbide grade provides the hardness and wear resistance required for consistent performance in steel, stainless, and non-ferrous materials. Screw-holding retention ensures repeatable seating in compatible toolholders. This insert is manufactured to ISO 9001 standards and is suited for machinists and tooling specialists working in production turning environments.

The GIE7SG0.9R C6 is applied in external grooving, undercut, and necking operations where tight width tolerances are critical. The 0.9 mm cutting width makes it well suited for fine groove work on small-diameter workpieces. It is used in job shops and production machining environments requiring consistent chip control at shallow to moderate depths. The SG chip breaker geometry assists with chip evacuation in confined groove profiles. This insert is a single-use, non-multi-use tooling component in the Nikcole Mini-Systems series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key specified for the clamping screw to avoid stripping the seat. Confirm the insert is fully seated and the clamping screw is snug before resuming cutting operations.
