XPMT 040104 AH7030 — XPMT040104R-DW insert for drilling by Tungaloy

The XPMT040104R-DW AH7030 is a PVD-coated carbide insert designed for interchangeable full-bore drilling systems with TDX bodies, optimised for process security and sharp cutting performance.

• PVD-coated AH7030 grade for wear resistance
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise hole edges
• Compatible with TDX full-bore drilling systems
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink

Secure drilling through optimised coating and grade

The combination of a PVD-coated carbide substrate and the AH7030 grade provides a balance between wear resistance and edge stability. This material pairing reduces flank and crater wear under typical drilling conditions, which in turn maintains dimensional accuracy over longer production runs. Emphasis on a stable cutting edge means fewer interruptions for reconditioning or insert changes, improving overall process efficiency while delivering repeatable hole geometry.

Geometry and chip control that improves cycle reliability

A 0.4 mm corner radius contributes to robust edge strength without sacrificing hole finish, while the DW chipbreaker helps manage chips in through-hole drilling. The insert’s cylindrical hole with single-side countersink (40°–60°) supports reliable coolant feed and secure mounting, reducing the risk of insert movement. Together these features enhance chip evacuation and temperature control, which lowers the likelihood of edge breakdown and supports consistent cycle times.

System compatibility for fast integration and flexible setups

Designed for use in TDX bodies (TDX/C-TDX), the insert is part of a modular full-bore drilling family that is differentiated by overhang (L/D) and interface. The system comprises the drill body, XPMT inserts, clamping screws and the required key, enabling straightforward assembly and repeatable clamping. Specifying the correct diameter, L/D ratio and shank for the machining centre keeps setup time down and simplifies inventory by using a common insert type across multiple body lengths.

Application guidance and process benefits

Engineered for general drilling tasks where a sharp cutting edge and process security are required, the insert’s wear- and break-resistant character suits interrupted cuts and varying component materials. The PVD coating increases thermal resistance, allowing competitive cutting parameters while maintaining surface finish. For selection, match insert size and geometry to the chosen body and machining strategy; Metav Werkzeuge can advise on combinations to meet throughput and surface quality targets.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The insert in grade AH7030 is specified for demanding drilling operations requiring a sharp cutting edge and process security; its PVD-coated carbide construction supports a broad range of workpiece materials commonly encountered in general drilling.

How is the insert clamped in the drilling system?
Clamping is achieved using the system’s clamping screws and key as part of the TDX/C-TDX drill body assembly; the cylindrical hole with single-side countersink secures the insert and supports coolant routing.

Can this insert be used across different overhangs (L/D ratios)?
Yes, the TungDrillTwisted family is differentiated by overhang and interface, allowing selection of an appropriate body and L/D ratio while retaining the same XPMT insert geometry for flexibility.

What benefits does the DW chipbreaker provide?
The DW chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation during full-bore drilling, improving cycle reliability and reducing the risk of built-up edge or tool failure.

Which component parts form the complete drilling system?
The system comprises the TDX/C-TDX drill body, XPMT inserts, clamping screws and the assembly key; these elements together deliver repeatable clamping and simple integration.
