Komet 1082130503 Indexable Drill Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KOMET 1082130503 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for holemaking operations in CNC machining and production drilling applications. This trigon-geometry insert features a dual-layer TiAlN and TiN coating that improves wear resistance and tool life at elevated cutting temperatures. The inscribed circle measures 0.315 inches, the insert thickness is 0.1496 inches, and the corner radius is 0.0157 inches. It is intended for use in compatible indexable drill bodies and is installed by machinists and tooling technicians on CNC lathes, machining centers, and drill presses.

This insert is suited for production environments requiring repeatable hole quality in steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials. The trigon geometry distributes cutting forces evenly across the insert edges, making it appropriate for moderate to high feed-rate drilling cycles. It fits the BK8425 insert pocket designation within the KOMET indexable drill system. Shops running high-volume hole-making operations will find this insert compatible with that toolholder series.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate for rigidity and heat resistance in demanding drilling applications
• TiAlN and TiN dual-layer coating for extended wear life and oxidation resistance
• Trigon geometry for balanced cutting force distribution
• 0.315 inch inscribed circle diameter for precise pocket fitment
• 0.0157 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping on insert entry and exit
• Designed for indexable drill bodies using BK8425 pocket designation

Compatibility

Designed for use with KOMET indexable drill bodies specifying the BK8425 insert pocket and 03 insert size designation. Verify toolholder pocket geometry and seating torque requirements against the toolholder documentation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct Torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the insert clamp screw - do not over-tighten by feel alone; follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specification. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or damage before seating the new insert.
