XPMT 050204 AH7030 exchangeable-insert drill — Tungaloy

The XPMT 050204R-DS AH7030 is an exchangeable-insert drilling solution designed for general drilling with TDX-series drill bodies, offering wear resistance and process stability.

• Modular TDX exchangeable-insert system
• PVD-coated AH7030 carbide for wear resistance
• DS chipbreaker for improved chip control
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink

Greater process reliability through robust insert chemistry

The combination of a PVD-coated cutting material and the specialised AH7030 grade delivers a balance of wear resistance and edge strength that supports consistent drilling cycles. The coated carbide composition reduces flank wear during extended runs, which leads to fewer interruptions for insert changes and more predictable tool life. This stability proves advantageous where process security and repeated hole quality are priorities, reducing scrap rates and enhancing throughput without complex intervention.

Cleaner chips and fewer interruptions with optimised geometry

The insert geometry, featuring a DS chipbreaker and a 0.4 mm corner radius, is tailored for controlled chip formation and evacuation. The cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) improves coolant flow and reduces the chance of chip packing in the flute, which in turn lowers the risk of insert breakage and unstable drilling. As a result, cycle times remain steady and surface quality is preserved, delivering a measurable improvement to production continuity and operator confidence.

Flexible system design that matches machines and materials

As part of the TungDrillTwisted family, this insert fits TDX/C‑TDX drill bodies and is available across differing overhang lengths and L/D ratios, so the drilling arrangement can be matched to machine capability and part geometry. Selecting the right diameter, shank and insert variant keeps tooling inventories efficient while enabling rapid adaptation to new components or materials. The modular approach supports quick changeovers and reduces set-up complexity on the shop floor.

Practical advantages from precise insert specifications

Key dimensional qualities such as the 2.38 mm plate thickness, the 11° clearance angle and the ISO designation 050204 give clear parameters for process planning and CAM setup. The XPMT050204R‑DS insert format facilitates consistent seating and repeatability across operations, while the edge geometry is engineered for applications that demand a sharp cutting edge combined with high process reliability. This makes the insert well suited where repeatable hole tolerances and surface finishes are required.

FAQ

What is the primary benefit of the AH7030 grade for drilling?
The AH7030 grade in the XPMT insert offers a PVD-coated carbide composition that balances wear resistance and edge strength, providing reliable cutting performance and extended insert life for drilling operations.

Can the insert be used with different overhangs and L/D ratios?
Yes, the TungDrillTwisted family and TDX/C‑TDX bodies allow selection by overhang and L/D ratio, so the insert can be configured to match machine and component requirements.

How does the DS chipbreaker improve machining?
The DS chipbreaker on the XPMT insert promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing the likelihood of chip packing and improving stability during continuous drilling.

Is the XPMT050204R‑DS suitable for precision hole quality?
The insert’s geometry, including the 0.4 mm corner radius and 11° clearance, supports repeatable seating and consistent cutting, contributing to improved hole quality and surface finish.

What mounting components are required with the insert?
The system is supplied as part of a TDX exchangeable-insert drilling system and requires compatible TDX or C‑TDX drill bodies, plus the specified clamping screws and keys for secure assembly.
