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

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7SG1.1R C2 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the GIE style with an SG chip breaker geometry, this right-hand insert delivers a 1.1 mm (0.0433 inch) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 6.00 mm (0.2362 inches). The C2 grade solid carbide construction provides the hardness and wear resistance required for consistent performance in high-volume production environments. Screw-held mounting ensures secure insert positioning and repeatable edge location during operation.

This insert is suited for external grooving and profiling applications on metalworking lathes in both production shop and job shop environments. It is intended for use with compatible NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS toolholders designed for the GIE insert style. Typical applications include groove turning, face grooving, and light parting on ferrous and non-ferrous materials where tight tolerance and fine surface finish are required. Machinists and CNC operators working in aerospace, automotive, and general precision machining will find this insert appropriate for small-groove work.
