XPMT150512R-DS AH7030 (XPMT 150512) — Indexable insert for drilling, PVD‑coated carbide, 1.2 mm radius (Tungaloy)

The XPMT150512R-DS AH7030 is an indexable insert intended for general drilling within the TungDrillTwisted family, optimised for process security and consistent chip control when used with TDX drill bodies.

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH7030
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust edge
• DS chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink

Reliable wear resistance for uninterrupted drilling

The TungDrillTwisted concept pairs a proven insert geometry with a PVD‑coated AH7030 grade that is engineered for both wear and breakout resistance. The coating and substrate combination provides extended tool life in common drilling operations, meaning fewer index changes and less machine downtime. As a result, machining cycles remain more predictable and the process stability is improved, which supports consistent production flow and reduced scrappage. The description of the insert emphasises a balance between a sharp cutting edge and robust edge stability to maintain hole quality across varied steels and general workshop materials.

Geometry that ensures hole quality and chip control

Precision geometry—including a 1.2 mm corner radius and an 11° clearance angle—is designed to deliver repeatable hole profiles and surface finish. The DS chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of chip packing in deep holes; the insert’s cylindrical hole with single‑sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping and correct seating in the drill body. These features together reduce vibrations and support consistent cutting forces, which is particularly beneficial when selecting overhangs and L/D ratios within the TungDrillTwisted family.

A modular system for easy integration and inventory efficiency

The system structure comprises TDX/C‑TDX drill bodies, the XPMT series of indexable inserts, clamping screws and the corresponding key, allowing straightforward assembly and interchangeability. The family is differentiated by overhang (L‑D) and interface, so bodies and inserts can be matched to machine capability, material and coolant strategy. Using standardised inserts such as this one simplifies stocking and speeds up set‑ups, while the special plate form and size 15 ensure compatibility with the intended drill carriers. This modular approach supports efficient workshop logistics and rapid adaptation to changing production demands.

Practical advantages for process security and versatility

Selected for general drilling tasks, the insert’s combination of carbide substrate and AH7030 coating supports a wide material range and consistent performance at moderate cutting data. The design reduces the likelihood of premature edge failure and eases reconditioning cycles. In applications where a reliable cutting edge and predictable chip behaviour are required, the insert contributes directly to improved throughput and lower process variability. The product is suitable for customers seeking a balance of economy and dependable machining results.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The XPMT150512R-DS AH7030 insert, with its PVD coating and carbide substrate, is aimed at general drilling tasks and performs well across a broad range of workshop materials where a sharp, wear‑resistant cutting edge is required.

How does the DS chipbreaker affect drilling performance?
The DS chipbreaker on this indexable insert promotes stable chip formation and evacuation, which reduces the risk of chip congestion and helps maintain consistent cutting forces during drilling cycles.

Which drill bodies are compatible with these inserts?
Inserts of this type are designed to be used with TDX and C‑TDX drill bodies within the TungDrillTwisted system; the full system includes clamping screws and the assembly key for secure mounting.

What does the cylindrical hole with single‑sided countersink provide?
The cylindrical hole plus a single‑sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures accurate seating and secure clamping in the drill body, helping to maintain repeatable positioning and improved coolant access when the system is assembled.

How should overhang and L/D ratio be chosen for reliable operation?
Selection of overhang and L/D should be based on machine rigidity, material and coolant conditions; the TungDrillTwisted family is differentiated by these ratios so that appropriate bodies and inserts can be combined to match the application.
