XPMT 050204 AH725 indexable insert for drilling — Tungaloy

XPMT050204R-DW AH725 is a PVD-coated carbide indexable insert designed for general drilling in steel and stainless steels using TDX drill bodies

• AH725 PVD-coated carbide grade
• Breakout-resistant, wide material range
• Compatible with TDX drill bodies
• Cylindrical hole with single countersink

Consistent tool life through a universal, robust grade

The AH725 grade is a PVD-coated carbide developed for process security across a broad spectrum of workpiece materials, notably steel and stainless steels. Its formulation and coating work together to provide stable chip formation and improved wear resistance, which reduces unexpected tool changes and machine downtime. For operations that face varying materials or batch-to-batch variability, this combination supports predictable tool life and consistent output quality without complex parameter adjustments.

Modular system design reduces inventory and changeover time

Designed for the TungDrillTwisted family, the insert fits TDX drill bodies to form a modular full-bore system. The series is differentiated by overhang and L/D ratio as well as the interface, enabling selection of diameter, L/D and shank to match machine capability and application. This modularity simplifies tooling stock, shortens set-up routines and allows quick replacement of worn inserts, delivering tangible savings in cycle time and logistics for production environments.

Geometry engineered for precision and stable cutting

The insert geometry — including a 0.4 mm corner radius, 11° relief, and a plate thickness of 2.38 mm — is optimised for stable cutting and reproducible hole quality, especially with smaller tools and demanding process requirements. The DW chipbreaker promotes controlled chips, while the cylindrical hole with single countersink (40°–60°) secures mounting and alignment on the drill body. These design elements contribute to improved tolerance adherence and surface finish when performing general drilling operations.

Practical application guidance for integration

Selection of the correct insert size, ISO 050204, and matching to machine capability, coolant strategy and workpiece material is key. Where high process security is required, the universal, breakout-resistant nature of this insert makes it suitable for mixed-production environments and short batch runs. Operators benefit from clear mechanical interfaces and repeatable clamping, which minimise set-up variance and support sustained productivity in series and jobbing shops.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The XPMT050204R-DW AH725 insert from Tungaloy is optimised for steel and stainless steels, offering wide material coverage and stable chip formation under varying production conditions.

How does the AH725 coating improve performance?
The PVD-coated AH725 layer increases wear resistance and reduces built-up edge tendencies, resulting in longer, more predictable insert life and improved hole quality when used in the TungDrillTwisted system.

What does the chipbreaker DW provide in drilling?
The DW chipbreaker delivers controlled chip evacuation and reduced vibration, which supports consistent hole tolerances and safer chip handling during general drilling operations.

Is this insert compatible with standard TDX bodies?
Yes — the insert is intended for use in TDX drill bodies as part of the TungDrillTwisted family; correct pairing of insert size and drill interface is essential for optimal performance.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect hole quality?
The 0.4 mm corner radius balances cutting-edge strength and sharpness, helping to maintain surface finish and dimensional accuracy while keeping cutting forces within acceptable limits for smaller tools.
