YG-1 32000001 Wcmx Indexable Drill Insert Solid Carbide Tialn

Product Description

The YG-1 32000001 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert in the WCMX series, designed for use in indexable insert drills in metalworking and machining operations. The insert carries a TiAlN coating that improves heat resistance and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous cutting applications. With a 5/16 inch inscribed circle, 1/8 inch thickness, and a 1/32 inch corner radius, this insert fits standard WCMX-style drill bodies requiring the 050308 insert size. The right-hand cutting direction makes it suitable for conventional spindle rotation on CNC machining centers and drill presses. Machinists and tool-room technicians working in production or job-shop environments are the primary installers.

The 32000001 is intended for use in WCMX-compatible indexable drill bodies requiring an 050308-size insert with a right-hand cut. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling in steel, cast iron, and similar materials on CNC machining centers, turret lathes, and drilling machines. The TiAlN coating makes this insert a practical choice for dry or minimum-quantity-lubrication cutting where heat buildup is a concern. This insert is sold individually and is a direct replacement for worn or chipped positions in multi-insert drill heads.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding drilling operations
• TiAlN coating improves thermal stability and extends cutting life at elevated temperatures
• WCMX insert style with 050308 size designation for compatibility with standard WCMX drill bodies
• 5/16 inch (0.3130 inch) inscribed circle provides consistent cutting geometry
• 1/32 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge
• Right-hand cutting direction for use with standard clockwise spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use in indexable drill bodies that accept WCMX-style inserts in the 050308 size. Confirm insert style, inscribed circle, thickness, and corner radius against the drill body specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians using the torque wrench or hex key specified by the drill body manufacturer for the insert clamping screw. Power down and lock out the spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket for debris, damage, or wear before seating the new insert. Never exceed the clamping torque specified by the drill body manufacturer, as over-torquing can fracture the insert or damage the pocket.
