XPMT 150512 AH7020 — XPMT150512R-DW indexable drilling insert for TungDrillTwisted (Tungaloy)

A versatile XPMT 150512 AH7020 indexable insert engineered for general drilling within the TungDrillTwisted full-drilling system, offering PVD-coated carbide durability and optimised chip control for stable, high-quality holes.

• PVD-coated AH7020 for wear resistance
• DW chipbreaker for controlled chips
• 1.2 mm corner radius for edge stability
• Compatible with TDX indexable drill bodies

Secure process reliability through advanced coating and geometry

The PVD-coated AH7020 grade provides a fine, wear-resistant surface that supports a sharp cutting edge and reduced flank wear, which translates into longer tool life and predictable component quality. The DW chipbreaker is designed to shape chips consistently, improving evacuation and lowering the risk of re-cutting. For users seeking process security, this combination reduces machining interruptions and helps maintain dimensional stability across production runs.

Flexible system design for a range of drilling tasks

Built for the TungDrillTwisted family, the insert forms part of a replaceable-insert full-drilling solution that separates the insert from the drill body (TDX/C-TDX). Selection of diameter, L/D ratio, shank style and the appropriate XPMT insert allows adaptation to machine capability, workpiece material and coolant strategy. The modular approach supports economical operations by limiting replacement to worn inserts rather than entire tools, improving uptime and lowering operational cost per hole.

Geometry and fastening features that support repeatable accuracy

The special plate form with cylindrical hole plus one-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure seating and reliable clamping with the supplied screws. A 1.2 mm corner radius and an 11° relief angle contribute to a robust cutting edge that resists chipping during entry and exit, particularly in general drilling applications. The insert size (15 mm) and unique DW break geometry provide stable cutting behaviour and a consistent surface finish when matched to appropriate parameters and coolant.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The XPMT150512R-DW AH7020 is a PVD-coated carbide grade designed for a broad range of general drilling tasks; suitability depends on cutting data and machine setup.

How does the DW chipbreaker affect performance?
The DW chipbreaker on the XPMT150512R-DW shapes chips for consistent evacuation, reducing chip-related interruptions and supporting steady drilling cycles.

Can the insert be used in different TungDrillTwisted bodies?
Yes, the XPMT150512R-DW insert is compatible with TDX and C-TDX indexable drill bodies within the TungDrillTwisted system when the insert size and interface match.

What is the significance of the 1.2 mm corner radius?
A 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge robustness and reduces the likelihood of chipping at entry and exit, improving tool life and hole quality when machining variable conditions.

Is the insert delivered with fastening hardware?
The full system comprises TDX/C-TDX drill bodies, XPMT inserts, clamping screws and the required key; confirm scope of delivery when ordering.
