The Original Korloy WCMT030208-C20N PC5335 (ANSI: WCMT 1.81.52) is a high-performance Indexable Drill Insert designed for General Purpose Shallow Hole Machining (U-Drills). Utilizing the versatile PC5335 PVD Grade, this insert provides an exceptional balance of toughness and wear resistance. The C20N Chipbreaker is specifically engineered to control chip formation in ductile materials, ensuring smooth evacuation and preventing damage to the drill body during high-feed operations.
The Drilling Specialist: PC5335 is Korloy's premier grade for drilling applications. Its specialized PVD coating is designed to handle the variable cutting speeds across the insert's edge, offering superior resistance to thermal cracking and mechanical shock.
Technical Specifications (Metric & ANSI):
| ISO Designation | WCMT 030208-C20N |
| ANSI Designation | WCMT 1.81.52 |
| Thickness (S) | 2.38 mm |
| Corner Radius (r) | 0.8 mm |
| Grade | PC5335 (Tough PVD Coated) |

Core Performance Benefits:
- Extreme Versatility: PC5335 grade excels in multiple material groups, making it the ideal "one-grade" solution for shops dealing with varied jobs in steel and stainless.
- Impact-Resistant PVD Coating: The TiAlN-based coating is optimized for the interrupted-cut nature of drill entry and exit, preventing premature chipping.
- Optimized C20N Geometry: Specifically designed for chip curling. It forces chips into a compact "C" shape, which is easily flushed out by coolant through the drill's internal channels.
- Stable Tool Life: High resistance to crater wear and plastic deformation ensures consistent hole diameters over long production runs.
Recommended Cutting Parameters:
| Material Group | Cutting Speed (Vc) | Feed Rate (fn) |
|---|---|---|
| Low Carbon Steel | 120 - 220 m/min | 0.06 - 0.15 mm/rev |
| Stainless Steel (304/316) | 100 - 180 m/min | 0.05 - 0.12 mm/rev |
Pro Tip: Successful U-Drilling
Internal coolant is mandatory for WCMT inserts. High pressure is required to flush the compact chips out of the hole. Lack of pressure is the #1 cause of insert breakage in drilling.
WCMT 03 inserts are usually the peripheral (outer) inserts. Ensure your grade selection (PC5335) matches the higher surface speeds encountered on the outer diameter of the drill.
Packaging: 10 pieces per box.
