Sumitomo 1AHD024 WDXT07H ACK300 Indexable Drill Insert

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 1AHD024 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable drill tooling systems. Manufactured to the WDXT07H insert style in ACK300 grade, this parallelogram-shaped insert features a PVD coating applied to solid carbide substrate for extended wear resistance at the cutting edge. The inscribed circle measures 0.2953 inches, thickness is 0.1378 inches, and the corner radius is 0.0236 inches. Cutting direction is right hand. This insert is suited for machining centers and CNC drilling operations where consistent hole quality and insert repeatability are required. Installation and replacement are performed by machining professionals in metalworking and production environments.

The 1AHD024 carries a universal primary workpiece material designation, with material codes covering cast iron (K), stainless and heat-resistant alloys (M), non-ferrous materials (N), steel (P), and superalloys (S). This broad compatibility makes it a practical stock choice for job shops and production facilities running varied workpiece materials on the same drill body. The H chipbreaker geometry supports chip control across these material groups during drilling operations.

Key Features

• WDXT07H insert style with parallelogram geometry for positive seating in compatible drill bodies
• ACK300 solid carbide grade with PVD coating for wear resistance and edge integrity
• 0.0236 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping on entry and exit
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard CNC and manual spindle configurations
• H chipbreaker promotes chip evacuation across universal workpiece materials
• Inscribed circle of 0.2953 inches and insert size code 07 for precise toolholder fit

Compatibility

Designed for use in indexable drill bodies and tooling systems accepting WDXT-style inserts with insert size code 07. Verify seat geometry and clamping configuration against the drill body specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement is performed by machining technicians with the spindle powered off and the machine locked out per facility LOTO procedures. Use the manufacturer-specified torx or hex key at the recommended seating torque for the drill body clamp screw - do not use impact tools on insert screws. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or damage before installing a new insert. Confirm cutting direction matches spindle rotation before resuming operation.
