Kyocera TKC09471 Indexable Drill Insert ZCMT06 PR1230

Product Description

The KYOCERA TKC09471 is an indexable drill insert designed for use with compatible indexable drill bodies in metal-cutting applications. It carries the ANSI code ZCMT06T204 PR1230 and ISO code ZCMT06T204, fitting the ZCMT insert style in size 06. The insert is manufactured from solid carbide with a PVD coating in the PR1230 grade, offering wear resistance suited to steel and stainless steel cutting. The diamond shape provides a positive rake angle with a 7-degree relief angle and four usable cutting edges. Corner radius measures 0.0157 inches (0.40 mm), keeping the edge geometry consistent across all edges. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators performing deep-hole or indexable drilling operations.

This insert is built for the KYOCERA DRZ series indexable drill system. Primary workpiece material is steel (ISO material code P), with a secondary application in stainless steel (ISO material code M). Typical use cases include production drilling on CNC machining centers and turning centers where repeatable hole geometry and consistent tool life across high-volume runs are required. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional spindle rotation in these environments.

Key Features

• ZCMT06T204 insert style, size 06, compatible with KYOCERA DRZ series drill bodies
• PR1230 grade solid carbide with PVD coating for steel and stainless steel cutting
• Diamond shape with positive rake and 7-degree relief angle for clean chip formation
• Four cutting edges per insert, maximizing cost-per-edge value in production runs
• Corner radius of 0.0157 inches (0.40 mm) for controlled edge geometry
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard CNC spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use with KYOCERA DRZ series indexable drill bodies accepting ZCMT06T204 style inserts. Optimized for primary workpiece materials of steel (P) and secondary workpiece materials of stainless steel (M).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Before indexing or replacing inserts, fully power down the machine and confirm spindle is locked. Use a torx or hex key of the correct size for the insert screw as specified by the drill body manufacturer - do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper seating and edge alignment.
