Komet 1082320501 Indexable Drill Insert WOEXW2901 BK72

Product Description

The KOMET 1082320501 is a solid carbide coated indexable drill insert designed for holemaking operations in indexable drilling systems. Carrying the WOEXW2901 BK72 insert designation, this trigon-geometry insert features an 8 mm inscribed circle, a thickness of 0.1496 inches, and a 0.4 mm corner radius. The 84-degree trigon form provides a stable cutting edge geometry suited for demanding drilling applications. Installation and changeout are performed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians working with compatible indexable drill bodies in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is intended for use in indexable drill bodies that accept the WOEXW2901 seat geometry. It is applicable in CNC machining centers, turning centers with live tooling, and dedicated drilling machines where indexable insert drills are used in place of solid-drill tooling. The BK72 grade designation indicates a coated carbide substrate suited for a range of workpiece materials. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials in both production and maintenance machining contexts.

Key Features

• Solid carbide coated construction for extended tool life and wear resistance
• 8 mm inscribed circle for precise seating in compatible insert pockets
• 0.1496 inch insert thickness provides rigidity at the cutting zone
• 0.4 mm corner radius for controlled chip formation and edge strength
• 84-degree trigon geometry for stable, repeatable indexing
• BK72 grade designation indicating a coated carbide substrate for broad material compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for indexable drill bodies accepting the WOEXW2901 insert seat geometry. Confirm pocket geometry, insert size, and grade requirements against your tool body specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Indexable drill inserts are installed and replaced by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out all machine spindles before handling or indexing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key at the manufacturer-specified seating procedure to avoid insert rocking or improper clamping. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before seating a new insert.
