TPMX 170408 UC2220 Indexable insert for drilling — Tungaloy

The TPMX170408R-G UC2220 is an indexable insert for drilling systems, engineered for wear resistance and stable cutting-edge performance in changeable-plate drilling tools.

• Tungaloy UC2220 grade for wear resistance
• Carbide construction for edge stability
• 60° triangular insert for secure seating
• 0.8 mm corner radius for precise finishes

Improved process stability through a balanced cutting grade

The UC2220 grade combines hardness and toughness specifically for drilling operations, reducing flank wear and delaying edge chipping. By selecting this grade, shops achieve a measurable improvement in tool life and less frequent index changes, which translates into lower downtime and steadier cycle times. The material choice of carbide supports a consistent cutting edge even under intermittent drilling loads, producing reliable hole quality across medium-duty production runs.

Precision geometry that supports repeatable hole quality

A triangular insert with a 60° seating angle and 0.8 mm corner radius creates a secure contact with the drill body and helps maintain true hole centres. The chipbreaker G controls chip formation during entry and evacuation, lowering the risk of chip re-cutting and improving surface finish. Matching the insert geometry to the drill diameter and the designated plate seat is essential; the plate thickness of 4.76 mm and 17 mm size ensure mechanical stability and predictable clamping when used in compatible drilling bodies.

System compatibility and predictable integration in workshop setups

The drilling system comprises the drill body, matching insert, clamping screw and key for fast and safe assembly; this indexable solution simplifies replacement and inventory management. The special hole style and plate seat require the correct matching of drill body and insert to ensure secure fixation and repeatable performance. For production environments seeking consistent cycle-to-cycle quality, the combination of a robust insert geometry, UC2220 grade and controlled chip formation delivers dependable results with reduced inspection frequency.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TPMX170408R-G UC2220 insert is designed for drilling applications and performs well on a wide range of engineering materials when paired with appropriate cutting parameters; the UC2220 grade balances wear resistance and toughness for reliable operation.

How does the chipbreaker G affect drilling performance?
The chipbreaker G promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation during drilling, which improves surface finish and reduces the chance of chip entanglement when using the TPMX170408R-G UC2220 in compatible drilling bodies.

Is the insert compatible with standard triangular insert seats?
Compatibility depends on the drill body design and seat geometry; the TPMX170408R-G has a 60° seating angle and requires a matching seat and clamping system to ensure secure fixation and repeatable concentricity.

What is the recommended corner radius for fine finishing?
The 0.8 mm corner radius on the TPMX170408R-G UC2220 balances edge strength and hole surface finish, making it suitable for accurate, repeatable hole production in many general machining scenarios.

Can this insert be used in interrupted cuts or entry holes?
The UC2220 grade and carbide construction provide improved edge stability for applications with intermittent engagement, but correct parameter selection and matching to the drill system are essential for optimal results.
