Komet 1082130813 Indexable Drill Insert Size 13 Carbide

Product Description

The KOMET 1082130813 is a size 13 indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable drilling systems. Manufactured from carbide with a TiAlN and TiN finish, this trigon-geometry insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding holemaking operations. It is intended for professional machinists and tooling technicians working with indexable drill bodies that accept size 13 inserts. The insert seats into the drill body pocket and is indexed or replaced when cutting edges are worn, reducing downtime compared to reground tooling.

This insert is suited for production drilling applications in metalworking environments, including job shops and manufacturing facilities. It fits indexable drill bodies requiring a size 13 BK8425 insert. The trigon geometry and dual-layer TiAlN and TiN coating make it appropriate for drilling steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials at moderate to high cutting speeds. It is sold individually and is designed for quick changeover on the shop floor.

Key Features

• Carbide substrate provides hardness and resistance to edge wear in holemaking operations
• TiAlN and TiN dual-layer coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life
• Trigon insert geometry for reliable cutting action and stable seating in compatible drill bodies
• Size 13 designation for direct replacement in BK8425-series indexable drill bodies
• Indexable design allows edge rotation or replacement without removing the drill body from the machine

Compatibility

Designed for use in indexable drill bodies that accept a size 13 BK8425 insert. Verify insert size and seat geometry against the drill body specification before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Before seating or indexing the insert, power down the machine and follow lockout/tagout procedures per applicable safety standards. Use the correct torx or insert-clamping key specified by the drill body manufacturer to secure the insert - do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and alignment.
