Komet 1082340801 Indexable Drill Insert WOEXW2901 P40

Product Description

The KOMET 1082340801 is a solid carbide uncoated indexable drill insert with insert designation WOEXW2901 in P40 grade. It features a 12 mm inscribed circle, 0.189 inches thickness, a 0.4 mm corner radius, and an 84-degree trigon geometry. This insert seats into compatible indexable drill bodies to form the cutting edge during holemaking operations. It is used by machinists and tooling technicians in production drilling applications where repeatability and edge consistency are critical.

This insert is suited for holemaking operations in metalworking environments, including production machining shops and job shops running CNC or manual equipment. The P40 grade designation indicates it is formulated for steel and steel alloy cutting applications at moderate to heavy feeds. The solid carbide uncoated construction provides wear resistance without a coating layer, which is preferred in certain interrupted-cut or abrasion-sensitive setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide uncoated construction for consistent edge performance in steel cutting
• P40 grade designation suited for steel and steel alloy drilling at moderate to heavy chip loads
• 12 mm inscribed circle for precise seating in compatible indexable drill bodies
• 0.4 mm corner radius for controlled edge geometry and reduced chipping risk
• 84-degree trigon geometry for efficient chip formation during drilling
• 0.189 inches insert thickness provides rigidity under axial drilling loads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard indexable insert for use in compatible WOEXW2901-style indexable drill bodies requiring a P40 solid carbide uncoated insert. Confirm seat geometry and clamping style with the drill body manufacturer before ordering.

Installation Notes

Indexable drill inserts are installed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing any insert. Use the correct torx or hex key specified by the drill body manufacturer to achieve proper clamping torque without cracking the carbide. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating to ensure full contact and accurate positioning.
