Allied OP-080508-PWHR Indexable Drill Insert OP08 AM300 Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING OP-080508-PWHR is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable drilling tool systems. Formatted to the OP08 insert style with a triangle shape, it carries the AM300 manufacturer grade and a PVD-applied coating for extended tool life under demanding cutting conditions. The inscribed circle measures 1/2 inch, the insert thickness is 0.2310 inches, and the corner radius is 0.0310 inches. This insert is sized to the 080508 insert code and is intended for installation by machinists and tooling technicians working with CNC or manual drill tooling setups.

This insert is suited for drilling operations on non-ferrous metals and steel workpieces in both production and job-shop environments. The AM300 grade with PVD coating supports consistent performance across moderate to high cutting speeds on these material groups. It is a per-piece consumable replacement component for compatible OP08-style indexable drill bodies. Minimum order quantity is 2 units; each package contains 1 insert. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling in aerospace, automotive, and general metalworking operations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the drill body is fully removed from the machine spindle and the tool is secured before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the drill body manufacturer when torquing the insert clamp screw. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for wear or debris before installing a new insert.
