Komet 1082230901 Indexable Drill Insert Carbide

Product Description

The KOMET 1082230901 is a carbide-coated indexable drill insert in the SOEXW8301 geometry with BK8425 grade designation. Indexable drill inserts are precision cutting elements seated in the pocket of an indexable drill body, performing the actual metal-removal work during holemaking operations. When the cutting edge dulls, the insert is indexed or replaced rather than resharpening or replacing the entire tool body. This insert features a 90-degree square geometry, making it suited for applications requiring accurate, flat-bottomed entry and consistent chip formation in a range of workpiece materials.

This insert is intended for use in compatible KOMET indexable drill bodies used in CNC machining centers, turning centers with live tooling, and similar holemaking setups. Typical applications include production drilling in metalworking environments such as aerospace, automotive, and general machining shops. Installation and insert changes are performed by machining professionals and toolroom technicians as part of routine insert management during production runs.

Key Features

• Carbide-coated construction for wear resistance and extended tool life
• SOEXW8301 insert geometry for consistent chip control during drilling
• BK8425 grade designation for identification and grade-specific performance matching
• 90-degree square form suited for flat-bottom holemaking entry
• Indexable design allows edge rotation or replacement without discarding the drill body
• Single-piece packaging with an MOQ of 1 for flexible procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement indexable drill insert for compatible KOMET indexable drill bodies that accept the SOEXW8301 insert form and BK8425 grade. Verify pocket geometry, seating, and screw interface against the specific drill body specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician following the drill body manufacturer's torque and clamping guidelines for the insert screw. Always power down and lock out the spindle before accessing the insert pocket. Inspect the pocket seat and clamping screw for wear or damage before seating a new insert. Use the correct insert key to avoid stripping the clamping screw head.
