XPMT 150512 AH7020 — Indexable insert for drilling (Tungaloy)

The XPMT150512R-DJ AH7020 is an indexable insert developed for the TungDrillTwisted full-drill system, designed for general drilling where edge stability and consistent process reliability are required.

• XPMT insert AH7020 PVD-coated carbide
• Optimised DJ chipbreaker for secure chip control
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust cutting edge

High process reliability from advanced grade and coating

The combination of a PVD-coated carbide base and the AH7020 grade delivers a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness that supports stable cutting edges during drilling. This is particularly relevant in mixed-production environments where a single insert must cope with varying workpiece materials. The PVD layer reduces flank wear while maintaining a sharp cutting line, which in turn helps to prolong tool life and reduce unplanned tool changes. For operators and production engineers, this translates into fewer interruptions and a more predictable machining cycle.

Geometry engineered for consistent chip control and edge life

A 1.2 mm corner radius combined with an 11° clearance angle provides mechanical strength at the cutting edge while still permitting efficient penetration at the start of the cut. The DJ chipbreaker is engineered to control chip form in moderate cutting conditions, lowering the risk of chip jamming and improving evacuation through the flute. The insert’s cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink (40°–60°) secures positive clamping in the TDX pocket and supports repeatable seating, which reduces micro-movements and contributes to consistent surface finish and dimensional stability.

System compatibility and straightforward application selection

Designed for the TungDrillTwisted family, this insert integrates into TDX/ C-TDX drill bodies with standard clamping hardware. Selection should consider the desired diameter, L/D ratio and machine capabilities; matching the XPMT150512R-DJ insert to the correct body and coolant strategy ensures optimal chip evacuation and thermal management. The system approach—bodies, XPMT inserts, clamping screws and keys—facilitates fast replacement and minimal setup times. For production planners, the modular design reduces tool inventory complexity while maintaining flexibility across drilling tasks.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine effectively?
The XPMT150512R-DJ AH7020 insert is formulated for general drilling and provides good performance across a broad material mix thanks to the AH7020 grade and PVD coating.

How does the DJ chipbreaker benefit production?
The DJ chipbreaker promotes consistent chip form and evacuation, reducing the likelihood of chip entanglement and supporting uninterrupted drilling cycles with the TungDrillTwisted system.

Is the insert compatible with existing TDX drill bodies?
Yes. The insert is designed for use in TDX and C-TDX bodies; correct seating is ensured by the cylindrical hole and single-side countersink interface.

What does the 1.2 mm corner radius mean for tool life?
A 1.2 mm corner radius increases the mechanical robustness of the cutting edge, improving resistance to chipping and extending the serviceable life of the insert under typical drilling conditions.

Are replacement inserts and clamping hardware available separately?
Replacement XPMT inserts and the required clamping screws and key are available as part of the TungDrillTwisted system supply; consult Metav Werkzeuge for matching components.
