XPMT 08T308 AH9030 — indexable insert for TDX drilling systems (Tungaloy)

XPMT 08T308 AH9030 is an indexable insert developed for modular full-bore drilling with TDX/C‑TDX bodies, suited to general drilling where sharp cutting edges and process security are required

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH9030
• Compatible with TDX/C‑TDX drill bodies
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink
• 0.8 mm corner radius for precise engagement

Consistent performance through modular system design

The modular drilling family is built around TDX drill bodies and replaceable indexable inserts, enabling quick adaptation to varying overhangs and L/D ratios. The system architecture permits selection of diameter, L/D, shank and insert to match machine capability, workpiece material and cooling strategy, which reduces setup complexity and keeps cycle times predictable. Integration with TDX/C‑TDX bodies supports straightforward seating and secure fixation, promoting steady tool life and fewer unplanned interruptions.

Durable grade and reliable cutting geometry for process security

The AH9030 grade is a PVD‑coated carbide developed for combined wear and chipping resistance where a sharp edge is essential. The coating and substrate pairing maintain a stable cutting edge under fluctuating loads, which contributes to process security and repeatable surface results. For manufacturing environments that prioritise uptime and consistent part quality, the grade offers balanced resistance to abrasion and mechanical stress while preserving edge integrity for extended intervals between indexings.

Precise insert geometry that simplifies clamping and reuse

The insert specification XPMT08T308R‑DW AH9030 features a 0.8 mm corner radius, a plate thickness of 3.97 mm and a cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°), combined with a DW chipbreaker. These attributes ensure reliable seating in the pocket, controlled chip formation and reduced risk of edge breakage during entry. The special plate form and standard clamping screw arrangement permit rapid replacement and consistent positioning, lowering handling time while keeping repeatability high across batches.

Practical advantages for production and workshop environments

As part of a full drilling system, the insert family and bodies aim to increase process efficiency and tool economy in serial production as well as jobbing shops. The combination of a modular drilling system, wear‑resistant grade and measured corner geometry helps to reduce scrap and rework, and supports stable feed and speed selection. Selection of the correct insert size and L/D ratio will align cutting conditions with machine power and coolant delivery to obtain the best compromise between tool life and productivity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert grade intended for?
The AH9030 PVD‑coated carbide insert is designed for applications requiring wear resistance and chipping protection; material selection and cutting data should be matched to the machine and coolant to achieve optimal results.

How does the insert attach to the drill body?
The insert seats in TDX/C‑TDX drill bodies and is secured with clamping screws; the cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink ensures correct orientation and stable fixation.

What does the DW chipbreaker provide?
The DW chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation for improved evacuation and reduced tendency for edge overload during entry, contributing to consistent process behaviour.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength and dimensional control, easing engagement at cut‑in while helping to resist chipping in interrupted cuts.

Is the insert compatible with different overhangs and L/D ratios?
Yes, the modular design of the drilling family allows selection of bodies and inserts aligned with the required L/D ratio and overhang, ensuring adaptability to various production setups.
