Komet 1082231201 Indexable Drill Insert SOEXW8301 BK8425

Product Description

The KOMET 1082231201 is a solid carbide coated indexable drill insert designed for holemaking operations in machining environments. Cataloged under the SOEXW8301 insert geometry and BK8425 grade designation, this insert seats into compatible indexable drill bodies to deliver consistent cutting performance in metal-removal applications. The square insert profile features a 12.7 mm inscribed circle and a 0.8 mm corner radius, with a thickness of 0.2032 inches. It is intended for use by machinists, toolroom technicians, and production drilling operations requiring repeatable insert indexing.

This insert is suited for indexable drilling operations in production machining settings, including CNC machining centers and drill press applications where replaceable carbide inserts are used in place of solid-drill assemblies. The BK8425 grade coating is matched to the SOEXW8301 geometry for use in compatible KOMET indexable drill bodies. Typical applications include holemaking in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in job shop and production environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or indexing inserts. Use the manufacturer-specified torque wrench and insert screw to secure the insert in the pocket - do not overtighten by feel alone. Inspect the insert pocket for damage or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and alignment.
