XPMT 150512 AH7030 – XPMT indexable insert for drilling by Tungaloy, PVD-coated, R1.2

A XPMT150512R-DW AH7030 indexable insert developed for interchangeable full-bore drilling with TDX bodies, offering wear- and chipping-resistant performance for general drilling applications

• PVD-coated carbide AH7030 for wear resistance
• R1.2 corner radius for robust cutting edge
• DW chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink

Greater process stability through optimised cutting edge and coating

The combination of a PVD coating and the AH7030 cemented carbide grade ensures improved resistance to flank wear and edge chipping, which translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions in production. The corner radius R1.2 is designed to strengthen the cutting edge while retaining the required profile for hole finishing; this balance reduces the risk of premature breakout and keeps tolerances consistent. When used in a TDX-compatible drilling body, the insert’s geometry supports repeatable engagement conditions, helping to lower cycle-time variability and maintain consistent hole size in mixed-batch production runs.

Reliable chip control and predictable performance for safe machining

Built with a DW chipbreaker, the insert provides controlled chip formation across a broad range of materials suitable for general drilling. Controlled chips reduce the likelihood of re-cutting and tool damage, which improves component surface quality and reduces machine downtime. The insert’s central hole with a cylindrical form and a single-side countersink (40°–60°) secures repeatable clamping in TDX systems, so the clamping force and position remain constant. This predictability is especially valuable where process security and repeatability are priorities during medium- to high-volume manufacturing.

Flexible system integration to match machine, material and cooling

The insert is part of the TungDrillTwisted family and is intended for use in TDX / C‑TDX drill bodies together with the specified clamping screws and key; this modular approach allows selection of diameter, L/D ratio and shank style to suit the machine and the job. Material versatility is achieved by the cutting grade and chipformer design, enabling productive drilling across common engineering materials encountered in general drilling tasks. As the system is modular, tooling inventory can be matched precisely to production needs, reducing tool-change times and simplifying stock management.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this insert?
The XPMT150512R-DW AH7030 insert is a PVD-coated cemented carbide grade designed for general drilling and delivers broad material coverage; matching the cutting data to the workpiece material yields optimal performance.

How is the insert secured in the drilling system?
The insert is clamped in TDX-compatible drill bodies using the specified clamping screws and key; the cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink ensures stable seating and repeatable positioning.

Does the AH7030 grade resist chipping during interrupted cuts?
Yes, the AH7030 grade is formulated for wear and chip resistance in drilling applications, and the R1.2 corner radius increases edge robustness for interrupted or unstable cutting conditions.

What benefit does the DW chipbreaker provide?
The DW chipbreaker promotes consistent chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving surface finish and process reliability when the insert is used in the designed drilling system.

Is this insert compatible with other Tungaloy drilling bodies?
The insert is part of the TungDrillTwisted family and is intended for TDX / C‑TDX bodies; compatibility should be confirmed against the specific body interface and L/D requirements for each application.
