Nikcole Mini-systems GIE7SG1.3R Gold Grooving Insert

Product Description

The NIKCOLE MINI-SYSTEMS GIE7SG1.3R GOLD is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a TiN (titanium nitride) PVD coating for extended tool life and wear resistance. The insert delivers a 1.3 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 6.00 mm, making it well suited for narrow groove applications requiring tight dimensional control. Screw-type insert holding secures the insert firmly in compatible toolholders. This insert is used by machinists and toolroom professionals in production and job-shop turning environments.

The GIE7SG1.3R GOLD is intended for right-hand grooving operations on turning machines. The SG chip breaker geometry is optimized for controlled chip formation in grooving cuts. With a material grade of C6 solid carbide and an overall length of 17.00 mm, this insert fits into GIE-style toolholders from the Nikcole Mini-Systems series. It is suited for both ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials where fine groove widths and clean sidewall finishes are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the clamping screw to the recommended feel - do not overtighten. Verify insert seating and runout before resuming cutting operations.
