TPMX170408R-G AH9130 – Triangular indexable insert for drilling (Tungaloy)

The TPMX170408R-G AH9130 is a triangular indexable insert designed for drilling systems, offering a combination of wear-resistant PVD carbide and geometry optimised for repeatable hole making.

• PVD-coated carbide AH9130 for durability
• Triangular 17 mm plate with 0.8 mm radius
• Chipbreaker G for improved chip control
• Clearance angle 11° for stable cutting

Consistent edges for repeatable hole quality

The insert’s PVD-coated carbide composition and the AH9130 grade provide wear resistance that translates directly into longer tool life and fewer tool changes. A defined corner radius of 0.8 mm reduces the risk of chipping at the cutting edge and preserves hole geometry over run lengths, which is particularly important for batch drilling or high-volume production. The benefit is measurable: fewer rejects and more predictable tool-change intervals, improving process planning and reducing unplanned downtime.

Stable chip control for efficient machining

Equipped with chipbreaker G, the insert guides chips away from the hole, reducing re-cutting and heat build-up in the cutting zone. For drilling applications, controlled chip formation supports consistent surface finish and steadier feed forces, which helps to protect the drill body and clamping components. The result is a smoother machining process, with reduced risk of burr formation and easier downstream handling of workpieces.

Geometry and system compatibility that simplify integration

The triangular 17 mm plate and the specified ISO designation (170408) make it straightforward to match the insert to compatible drill bodies and seats. With a clearance angle of 11° and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, the geometry is balanced to deliver rigidity while allowing effective chip evacuation. This clarity in dimensions simplifies inventory management and ensures compatibility across standard modular drilling systems.

Practical benefits for production planning and quality control

Using the TPMX170408R-G AH9130 in drilling routines supports process reliability and reproducibility. The PVD surface treatment combined with robust carbide microstructure yields stable cutting edges even under intermittent cutting conditions. For production engineers, this means easier parameter validation, longer intervals between regrinds or changes, and a predictable impact on component tolerances. The insert’s design addresses both productivity and quality requirements in industrial metalworking.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The TPMX170408R-G AH9130 is specified for general drilling duties where a wear- and chip-resistant PVD-coated carbide grade is advantageous; compatibility with specific materials should be confirmed against the AH9130 performance profile.

How does the chipbreaker affect drilling performance?
The chipbreaker G on this triangular insert improves chip control during drilling, which leads to reduced re-cutting, better surface quality and lower thermal load on both the tool and the workpiece when using the TPMX170408R-G AH9130.

Which drill bodies accept this insert format?
The insert follows the ISO designation 170408 and a triangular 17 mm form, so it fits drilling systems designed for that insert family; check the drill body seat dimensions against the listed plate size and plate thickness.

Is the corner radius suitable for finishing holes?
With a corner radius of 0.8 mm, the insert balances edge strength and finish capability, making it suitable for many production drilling tasks where a controlled edge is required for hole quality.

What should be considered when replacing inserts in the system?
When replacing TPMX170408R-G AH9130 inserts, ensure correct seating, torque for the clamping screw and alignment with the drill body; consistent mounting preserves the clearance angle and the intended cutting geometry.
