Komet 1082130603 Indexable Drill Insert Carbide

Product Description

The KOMET 1082130603 is a carbide indexable drill insert designed for holemaking operations in metalcutting applications. Finished with a TiAlN and TiN dual coating, this insert delivers thermal resistance and edge hardness suited for drilling in steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials. The trigon geometry provides three usable cutting edges per insert, maximizing tool life per unit. It is installed by machinists and tooling technicians into compatible indexable drill bodies as a consumable cutting element.

This insert is used in indexable drilling applications across manufacturing, machining, and fabrication environments. It fits into the 03 pocket designation within the BK8425 insert series, making it a holemaking insert for drill bodies that accept this seat geometry. Typical applications include production drilling on CNC machining centers and turning centers where repeatable hole quality and insert changeability are priorities.

Key Features

• Carbide substrate provides hardness and wear resistance for demanding drilling cycles
• TiAlN and TiN finish improves thermal stability and extends cutting edge life
• Trigon shape delivers three indexable cutting edges per insert
• 03 pocket designation matches BK8425 series drill body seats
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds, minimizing added mass in the tool assembly

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement holemaking insert for indexable drill bodies accepting the 03 BK8425 seat geometry within the KOMET indexable drill system.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or indexing an insert. Use the correct torx or hex key specified by the drill body manufacturer to torque the insert clamp screw - do not overtighten or use impact tools. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before securing the new insert.
