XPMT 150512 AH725 indexable insert for full-bore drilling — Tungaloy

The XPMT 150512 AH725 is an indexable insert designed for use in modular full-bore drilling systems, delivering reliable performance for general drilling in steel and stainless steel.

• PVD-coated cemented carbide AH725
• Compatible with TDX/C‑TDX drill bodies
• Corner radius R1.2 for stable cutting
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink

Modular design that reduces inventory and setup time

The TungDrillTwisted family is built as a modular indexable drilling system, consisting of TDX drill bodies, XPMT inserts, clamping screws and a single key for assembly. This modularity enables fast tool changes and fewer complete tools in stock, which reduces setup time and simplifies spare-parts logistics. The PVD-coated cemented carbide grade provides a balance of toughness and wear resistance, making the insert a pragmatic choice for shops that machine varying workpiece materials.

Stable cutting and enhanced process security

A dedicated DG chipbreaker geometry and a corner radius R1.2 promote consistent chip formation and a controlled cutting edge, which supports a stable process when drilling steels and stainless steels. The insert’s 11° relief angle reduces flank contact, lowering friction and heat at the cutting edge; the result is improved repeatability and fewer unplanned tool changes, which benefits cycle-time reliability and overall productivity.

Secure clamping and accurate repeatability

The insert features a cylindrical central hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) to ensure precise seat and consistent clamping torque within the TDX holder. This configuration reduces runout and contributes to axial and radial stability during drilling operations, which is particularly relevant for longer overhangs and higher L/D ratios. Reliable fixation translates directly into predictable hole quality and reduced rework.

Versatility for general drilling applications

As a universal, breakage-resistant grade developed for mixed-material environments, the insert is suitable for general drilling tasks where process security is critical. The TungDrillTwisted family is offered in variants that differ by overhang (L‑D ratio) and interface type, allowing selection of the appropriate holder, shaft and insert combination to match machine power, coolant availability and component geometry. For shops aiming to streamline tool sets without compromising performance, this indexable insert offers a practical compromise between flexibility and durability.

FAQ

What workpiece materials is this insert suitable for?
The XPMT 150512 AH725 insert from Tungaloy is formulated for machining steel and stainless steels, offering breakage resistance where material types change.

Can the insert be used in existing TDX drill holders?
Yes, the insert is compatible with TDX and C‑TDX drill bodies and is intended for the TungDrillTwisted indexable drilling system.

What does the DG chipbreaker provide in practice?
The DG chipbreaker on the XPMT insert improves chip control and stability, reducing the risk of chip congestion and helping maintain a secure process.

How does the central hole and countersink affect clamping?
The cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures a precise seating and secure clamping, which minimises runout and enhances repeatability during drilling.

Which parameters should be matched when selecting a full drill assembly?
Select diameter, L/D ratio, holder shaft and the XPMT insert grade to match the machine power, coolant conditions and workpiece material for optimal process security.
