XPMT 150512 AH7020 indexable insert for drilling — Tungaloy

XPMT150512R-DS AH7020 is an indexable insert designed for general drilling in modular TDX drill systems, combining a sharp, wear-resistant cutting edge with a controlled DS chip‑forming geometry.

*PVD-coated carbide grade AH7020 for wear resistance
*Optimised DS chipbreaker for controlled chips
*Designed for TDX drill bodies and indexable drilling
*Cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink (40°–60°)

Increased process reliability from a wear‑resistant grade

The PVD‑coated AH7020 carbide delivers wear resistance and improved edge stability for demanding drilling operations. Its composition targets a balance between hardness and fracture toughness, which reduces premature tool failure and supports longer tool life in general drilling tasks. As a result, machining cycles run with fewer interruptions and tool-change events, improving overall productivity and lowering machining costs per hole.

Predictable chip control and consistent hole quality

The DS chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, controllable chips even in mixed materials, which reduces the risk of chip entanglement and stabilises the drilling process. Combined with a 1.2 mm corner radius and an 11° clearance angle, the insert promotes steady cutting forces and consistent surface finish in through‑hole and blind‑hole applications. The cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) supports secure clamping and reliable coolant delivery for stable thermal conditions.

Modular system design for fast integration and flexible production

Built for the TungDrillTwisted family, the insert integrates into TDX/C‑TDX drill bodies with standard clamping screws and keys, enabling rapid reconfiguration according to L/D, shank type and machine capability. The system approach reduces setup complexity and allows matching of insert geometry and coolant strategy to specific materials and machines. For complex specifications or material mixes, technical advice is available via email or phone to assist with selection and process parameters.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The XPMT150512R-DS AH7020 insert is a PVD‑coated carbide grade designed for a broad range of drilling applications and offers reliable performance across common steels and mixed materials where a sharp, wear‑resistant cutting edge is required.

How does the DS chipbreaker affect machining?
The DS chipbreaker on the XPMT insert promotes controlled, short chips for safer chip evacuation and reduced risk of re-cutting; this contributes to more consistent hole quality and fewer process interruptions when used in TDX drill bodies.

Which drill bodies are compatible with this insert?
The insert is part of the TungDrillTwisted system and is compatible with TDX and C‑TDX drill bodies; the modular design uses standard clamping screws and keys for straightforward mounting and exchange.

What geometric data should be considered for setup?
Key geometry to consider includes the 1.2 mm corner radius, 11° clearance angle and the plate size 15; these parameters influence feed, cutting depth and achievable surface finish in the final hole.
