Allied OP-090608-PWHR Indexable Drill Insert AM300 Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING OP-090608-PWHR is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable drilling operations across a range of machining applications. This triangular insert features a 9/16 inch inscribed circle, a thickness of 0.262 inches, and a 0.031 inch corner radius. Manufactured to the AM300 grade and applied with a PVD coating process, this insert delivers reliable cutting performance on non-ferrous metals and steel workpieces. It is installed and replaced by machinists and tooling specialists in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for indexable drill tooling systems that accept the OP09 insert style. Typical applications include drilling into non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper alloys, as well as steel workpieces classified under material grade C5. It is commonly used in CNC machining centers and lathe turrets where consistent hole quality and insert indexability are required. The triangular shape provides multiple cutting edges per insert, reducing per-hole tooling cost in high-volume drilling runs.

Key Features

• AM300 manufacturer grade engineered for consistent performance on N and P workpiece material codes
• Triangle shape with 9/16 inch inscribed circle and 0.031 inch corner radius
• Insert size code 09 with 0.262 inch thickness for OP09-style drill bodies
• Manufactured to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards
• Material grade C5 classification for broad steel and non-ferrous compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in indexable drill tool bodies that accept the OP09 insert style. Compatible with primary workpiece materials classified as non-ferrous metal and steel (material codes N and P).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before indexing or replacing inserts, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the drill body manufacturer to seat the insert securely without overtightening the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for wear or debris before seating the new insert.
