Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7SG1.1L C2 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7SG1.1L C2 is a solid carbide left-hand grooving insert designed for precision groove turning and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. With a cutting width of 1.1 mm (0.0433 inches) and a maximum depth of cut of 6 mm (0.2362 inches), this insert handles tight-tolerance groove work where dimensional accuracy is critical. The C2 carbide grade provides a balance of hardness and wear resistance suited to a range of workpiece materials. Installation is secured via screw-hold clamping. The SG chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation in grooving applications.

This insert is intended for use in left-hand grooving toolholders within the Nikcole Mini-Systems series. It is suited for residential and industrial machining shops performing small-diameter groove work, O-ring groove cutting, undercut operations, and similar precision turning tasks on metal workpieces. Machinists, CNC operators, and tool-and-die professionals working with compatible Nikcole Mini-Systems toolholders are the primary installers of this insert.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped. Use the correct torque driver for the screw-clamp fastener per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or damage before seating a new insert. Handle solid carbide inserts with care to avoid chipping the cutting edge prior to use.
