Allied Machine OP-080508-1PW Indexable Drill Insert AM300

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING OP-080508-1PW is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable drilling systems that accept the OP08 insert style. Manufactured to grade AM300 with a coated finish, this trigon-shaped insert features a 0.5000 inch inscribed circle and carries material grade classification C1. The coating improves wear resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting applications. It is sized at insert code 08, corresponding to the 080508 insert size designation. This insert is intended for professional machining environments and is installed by tool and die machinists, CNC operators, and maintenance machinists working with indexable drill bodies.

This insert is suited for drilling operations in non-ferrous metals and steel, corresponding to ISO workpiece material codes N and P. Typical applications include production drilling on CNC machining centers and lathes where repeatable hole quality and insert interchangeability are required. The trigon geometry and AM300 grade make it applicable across a range of light to moderate cutting conditions in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 2.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the drill body manufacturer torque and clamping procedures for indexable inserts. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before seating the new insert. Ensure the insert is fully seated and the clamping screw is secured before resuming cutting operations.
