Komet 1082231213 Indexable Drill Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KOMET 1082231213 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for holemaking applications in precision machining environments. This square-geometry insert features a TiAlN and TiN dual coating that improves wear resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions. With a 0.5 inch inscribed circle, a thickness of 0.2031 inches, and a corner radius of 0.0315 inches, it is engineered for consistent chip formation and accurate bore entry. It is intended for use in indexable drill bodies designated for the BK8425 insert system and is installed by machinists and toolroom professionals working on CNC drilling operations.

This insert is suited for holemaking operations in metalworking and precision machining environments, including production and job-shop settings. It fits indexable drill bodies that accept the series 13 BK8425 insert seat configuration. The square geometry and dual-layer coating make it applicable across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous base materials where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are critical. It is sold individually, making it straightforward to replace a single worn position without purchasing a full set.

Compatibility

Designed for use with KOMET BK8425 series 13 indexable drill bodies that accept this insert seat geometry. Verify seat configuration and clamping method against your drill body specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before replacing an insert, power down and lock out the machine spindle per standard LOTO procedures. Use the appropriate torx or hex key specified by the drill body manufacturer to seat and torque the clamping screw; do not substitute driver sizes. Inspect the insert pocket for chips, debris, or wear before seating the new insert to ensure full and flat contact.
