XPMT 08T308 AH6030 indexable insert for TDX full-bore drilling (Tungaloy)

XPMT 08T308 AH6030 is an indexable insert intended for the TungDrillTwisted full-bore drilling system, designed to deliver process security and long tool life in general drilling applications

• PVD-coated AH6030 carbide
• DJ chipbreaker for process security
• 0.8 mm corner radius for smooth finish
• Compatible with TDX drill bodies

Performance that keeps production moving

The indexable full-bore system construction offers a cost-effective route to high-volume drilling: by combining exchangeable XPMT inserts with TDX/C-TDX drill bodies, tool changeover is rapid and on-machine downtime is reduced. The PVD-coated carbide grade provides a balance between wear resistance and toughness, enabling consistent cycle times. For production planning, the design translates into fewer tool replacements and more predictable spindle utilisation, which supports tighter scheduling and lower unit costs.

Coating and grade engineered for stability

The AH6030 grade is a PVD-coated carbide optimised for wear and chipping resistance when a sharp cutting edge and secure process behaviour are required. PVD (physical vapour deposition) forms a thin, hard film that reduces friction at the cutting edge and improves thermal stability under elevated cutting speeds. As a result, operators can maintain surface quality and dimensional stability in a wider range of steels and common workshop materials while benefitting from extended edge life compared with uncoated grades.

Geometry that improves hole quality and chip control

The insert geometry — 0.8 mm corner radius and 11° relief angle with a 3.97 mm plate thickness — is tuned to deliver a consistent finish and reduce the risk of edge failure. The DJ chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation and evacuation, especially when paired with the TDX drill body’s coolant and flute geometry. The insert’s cylindrical hole with single-side countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping and repeatable seating, which contributes directly to hole accuracy and repeatability in serial production.

Practical application and service guidance

Integration of these inserts into a TungDrillTwisted system supports flexibility: select insert size, L/D and shank style to match machine capability, workpiece material and coolant strategy. For complex setups or materials at the limit of the insert’s range, Metav Werkzeuge offers technical advice to ensure the correct combination of insert, drill body and process parameters. Trust in the component’s engineered features to reduce rejects and improve overall machining reliability while keeping setup straightforward.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The AH6030 PVD-coated carbide insert is designed for general drilling tasks and offers good wear and chipping resistance across a broad range of workshop materials, supporting stainless and alloyed steels as well as common ferrous materials when used with the correct parameters.

How does the DJ chipbreaker affect performance?
The DJ chipbreaker on the XPMT08T308R-DJ promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, improving process stability and hole finish when combined with the TungDrillTwisted drill body and appropriate coolant strategy.

Can the insert be used in any TDX drill body?
The insert is intended for use with TDX/C-TDX drill bodies within the TungDrillTwisted system family; matching the insert size and seating to the specific drill body and L/D ratio is essential for optimal performance.

What are the key geometric benefits of this insert?
A 0.8 mm corner radius and 11° relief angle deliver a robust cutting edge for improved surface finish and reduced edge chipping, while the 3.97 mm plate thickness ensures secure clamping and stability.

Is there a recommended application range for L/D ratios?
The TungDrillTwisted family is differentiated by overhang length and L/D ratio; select the drill body and insert combination that matches machine capability and workpiece geometry for best results.
