XPMT150512 AH725 indexable insert for drilling (PVD-coated carbide) – Tungaloy

XPMT150512 AH725 is an indexable insert for drilling within the TungDrillTwisted system, optimised for reliable material removal in general drilling applications.

• PVD-coated carbide AH725
• Universal grade for steel and stainless
• Corner radius 1.2 mm for robustness
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink

Consistent cutting with a universal, PVD-coated grade

The AH725 grade is a PVD-coated carbide designed as a universal, fracture-resistant option for drilling across steel and stainless steels. Its composition and coating enhance wear resistance while maintaining edge stability during interrupted cuts. Integrated into the TungDrillTwisted family, the insert supports predictable tool life and reduced scrap rates by offering a balance between toughness and hardness suitable for varying workpiece materials. Compatibility with TDX bodies ensures straightforward integration into existing drilling toolsets.

Geometry that stabilises the cut and reduces downtime

The combination of a corner radius 1.2 mm and a 11° relief angle strengthens the cutting edge and reduces the risk of chipping under load. A one-sided chipbreaker directs swarf efficiently, improving chip control in through-hole and blind-hole drilling. The cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink (40°–60°) secures precise clamping and repeatable seating, which lowers vibration and the need for rework. These geometry choices translate into fewer indexings and longer net cutting time per insert.

System advantages for faster setup and predictable output

As part of the TungDrillTwisted system, the insert works with TDX/C‑TDX drill bodies, matching XPMT inserts, clamping screws and keys to create a modular drilling solution. Selection of diameter, L/D ratio, shank and the XPMT insert can be aligned to machine capability, material and coolant strategy to optimise cycle time. The modular approach simplifies inventory, shortens tool-change intervals and supports stable production sequences — all contributing to measurable process security and lower unit costs. The insert’s design is particularly suited to applications where mixed material batches and high availability are priorities.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The XPMT150512 AH725 insert is formulated for steel and stainless steels, the PVD-coated carbide grade offering fracture resistance across mixed-material production.

Which drill bodies are compatible with this insert?
The insert is designed for the TungDrillTwisted system and fits TDX and C‑TDX drill bodies; use the specified clamping screws and key for secure assembly.

How does the corner radius influence tool life?
A corner radius of 1.2 mm increases edge strength and reduces chipping under load, which typically extends insert life and improves process stability.

Does the insert provide effective chip control?
Yes, the one-sided chipbreaker and the insert geometry promote controlled swarf formation and evacuation, supporting consistent hole quality.
