TPMX 170408 AH9130 – Indexable Insert for Drilling (TPMX170408R-B) by Tungaloy

The TPMX170408R-B AH9130 is a triangular indexable insert engineered for precision drilling with changeable-insert drilling systems, providing a sharp cutting edge and high process reliability in workpiece machining.

• Triangular insert; 60° cutting angle
• PVD-coated carbide AH9130 for wear resistance
• 0.8 mm corner radius for versatile drilling
• Designed for indexable-insert drilling systems

Highest process reliability through a wear-resistant cutting grade

The PVD-coated AH9130 grade on cemented carbide substrate ensures stable wear behaviour and resistance to chipping in drilling applications. This combination translates into a longer effective edge life and fewer unscheduled tool changes, which supports higher machine uptime and predictable production output. The coating also helps maintain a sharp cutting edge under intermittent engagement, delivering consistent drilling cycles and reduced scrap rates.

Geometry tailored for consistent hole quality and chip control

The triangular form with a 60° cutting angle and 0.8 mm corner radius gives a balanced compromise between strength and edge definition, enabling clean starts and reliable hole centring. The integrated chipbreaker B promotes controlled chip formation during internal and external cutting passes, lowering the risk of chip packing and improving hole surface finish. Matching insert geometry to the drill body and insert seat ensures repeatable hole tolerances and less manual rework.

Quick integration into insert drill systems for efficient production

Designed for use in a modular drilling system—consisting of a drill body, compatible insert seat, clamping screw and key—this insert allows fast replacement and straightforward inventory management. The special hole (Sonder) configuration and standard ISO code 170408 mean compatibility checks are simple; verify the drill diameter and plate seat before installation to ensure secure clamping and correct indexation. The result is shorter downtime during changeovers and a predictable production rhythm.

Application guidance and practical benefits for the workshop

This grade is intended specifically for drilling where a sharp cutting edge and process security are required. The cemented carbide substrate combined with PVD coating suits a broad range of materials while prioritising wear resistance and edge stability. If there is any uncertainty about fitment or operating parameters, customised cutting data and application advice are available; Metav Werkzeuge can assist with selection to match spindle speeds, feeds and coolant strategies to the component material and drilling conditions.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TPMX170408R-B AH9130 insert is formulated for a broad range of materials where wear resistance and edge integrity are required; the cemented carbide substrate with PVD coating supports machining under demanding drilling conditions.

How should the insert be matched to the drill body?
Match the ISO designation (170408), insert size (17 mm) and the insert seat geometry of the drill body; proper alignment of the insert seat and secure clamping with the correct screw ensure stable cutting performance.

What benefit does the 0.8 mm corner radius provide?
A 0.8 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and cutting sharpness, helping to reduce chipping on entry while delivering acceptable surface finish and hole geometry.

How does the chipbreaker B influence machining?
The chipbreaker B is designed for controlled chip formation during drilling operations, reducing the risk of long stringy chips and improving coolant flow and evacuation from the hole.

Is the AH9130 grade suitable for interrupted cuts common in drilling?
Yes, the AH9130 grade combines toughness and wear resistance to withstand intermittent cutting edges and provides stable process behaviour in drilling cycles.
