Komet 1082230701 Indexable Drill Insert SOEXW8301 BK8425

Product Description

The KOMET 1082230701 is a solid carbide coated indexable drill insert designed for holemaking operations on indexable drilling tools. Offered in the SOEXW8301 insert geometry with a BK8425 grade coating, this square-style insert features a 7.94 mm inscribed circle and a 0.8 mm corner radius. The insert measures 0.1409 inches thick and weighs approximately 0.04 pounds. It is used in place of brazed or solid-drill tooling where indexable insert systems are preferred for cost-per-hole efficiency. Licensed HVAC technicians and trade professionals working with precision metal fabrication or in-field machining applications will recognize this as a standard cataloged cutting insert.

This insert is suited for indexable drilling systems used in metalworking environments, including production machining and maintenance repair operations. The SOEXW8301 geometry and BK8425 coating grade are matched for specific KOMET indexable drill bodies. This insert falls within the holemaking insert category and is intended for use in applications requiring repeatable, consistent hole quality. It is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Indexable drill inserts should be installed by a qualified machinist or tool crib technician using the appropriate torx or hex key specified by the drill body manufacturer. Ensure the drill body pocket and seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Do not overtighten the clamping screw, as this can fracture carbide inserts. Always index or replace inserts before cutting edge degradation leads to tool body damage.
