XPMT 150512 AH6030 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Take advantage of the combination of a PVD-coated carbide grade (AH6030), secure clamping via a cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink, and a robust 1.2 mm corner radius for reliable full-bodied drilling. Order the insert or consult Metav Werkzeuge for application matching and tool pairing.

XPMT150512R-DW AH6030 (XPMT 150512) indexable insert for TDX full-bodied drilling system — Tungaloy

The XPMT150512R-DW AH6030 is an indexable carbide insert developed for full-bodied drilling with TDX drill bodies, optimised for process security where a sharp cutting edge and wear resistance are required.

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH6030
• Robust 1.2 mm corner radius for stability
• DW chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink

Greater process stability through a wear-resistant grade

The AH6030 grade, supplied as a PVD-coated carbide insert, is engineered for wear and chip resistance, which leads to fewer interruptions and more consistent cycle times in production environments. The coated surface stabilises the cutting edge at elevated temperatures and reduces adhesive wear on the rake face; this translates into more reliable performance during continuous drilling operations. By combining a sharp edge geometry with a wear-oriented grade, the insert offers a balance between cutting precision and longevity, helping to lower tool-change frequency and maintain dimensional consistency in series manufacture.

Secure clamping and reliable chip control for practical productivity

The insert’s cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures repeatable clamping and accurate seat positioning in the TDX-style drill body, reducing the risk of micro-movements under load. The DW chipbreaker is designed to promote controlled chip formation across a range of cutting conditions, simplifying chip evacuation and protecting the cutting edge from unpredictable chip loading. Together, these design elements contribute to steady drilling performance and minimise process variability when paired with the appropriate drill body and coolant strategy.

Geometry tuned for edge strength and surface quality

A 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge toughness and reduces the likelihood of chipping on interrupted or difficult-to-cut surfaces, while the specified relief angle (11°) allows a sharp engagement with the workpiece without compromising stability. These geometric choices support improved surface finish and dimensional control in components where consistent bore geometry is essential. The insert’s special plate form and precise dimensions make it suitable for selection across the TungDrillTwisted family, enabling practical matching of diameter, L/D ratio and shank interface for the machine and material in use.

System compatibility and selection guidance for machining tasks

The insert is part of a TungDrillTwisted indexable full-bodied drilling system that uses TDX/C-TDX drill bodies and XPMT plates; selection should consider the machine spindle, coolant availability and workpiece material. The carbide construction and AH6030 coating make the insert appropriate where a sharp cutting edge and process security are priorities. For best results, match the plate size and chipbreaker to the chosen feed and speed ranges and verify clamping with the recommended TDX clamping screws. If there is uncertainty about the correct combination, application data such as material group and L/D ratio should be supplied for precise advice.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The AH6030 PVD-coated carbide insert is designed for general drilling applications where a sharp cutting edge and process security are required; material suitability depends on workpiece composition and cutting data, so the Tungaloy XPMT150512R-DW AH6030 is typically chosen for a broad range of steels and mixed material batches.

How does the DW chipbreaker influence machining?
The DW chipbreaker on the XPMT plate promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of chip-related edge damage during full-bodied drilling with TDX drill bodies.

Why is the cylindrical hole with countersink important?
The cylindrical hole plus one-sided countersink ensures repeatable seat location and secure clamping in the TDX system, which reduces micro-movement and contributes to consistent bore accuracy and tool life.

Which aspects should be checked when matching the insert to a drill body?
Verify the TDX interface, plate size and the L/D ratio of the drill body, and ensure clamp screws and coolant delivery are compatible; reference the model family TungDrillTwisted and the SKU 6718276-Tungaloy when requesting detailed matching information.

How does the 1.2 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 1.2 mm radius increases edge strength and resistance to chipping, especially on interrupted cuts, and supports improved dimensional stability and surface integrity during series drilling.
