When the cutting edge wears, the insert is indexed or replaced — maintaining consistent hole quality and drill performance without regrinding. AIMS Industrial stocks changeable drill bit sets and individual bodies and inserts for CNC, lathe and machining centre applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdvantages Over Solid Drills\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndexable insert drills offer several advantages in production machining. There is no regrinding cost or delay — inserts are replaced in seconds on the machine. Consistent edge geometry is maintained from hole to hole, ensuring consistent hole size, surface finish and position. Higher cutting speeds and feed rates are achievable with carbide inserts versus HSS solid drills, reducing cycle time in high-volume production. The drill body is reused indefinitely, with only the inserts replaced when worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInsert Grades and Coatings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarbide insert grade selection for changeable drills is determined by the workpiece material. Uncoated carbide suits cast iron and non-ferrous materials; TiN, TiAlN or AlTiN-coated grades are used for steel and stainless steel at high cutting speeds. Multi-edge inserts (two cutting edges per insert) double insert life before replacement is needed, reducing insert cost per hole. Insert grades are typically manufacturer-specific and matched to the drill body design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChangeable drill bits are the preferred choice for production machining of repetitive hole patterns in steel, cast iron, aluminium and similar materials where hole volume makes solid drill regrinding uneconomical.
