Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5101008 Indexable Drill Insert

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5101008 is a square indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable drill bodies across metal-cutting operations. Manufactured in the SHLT-N-FS series, this insert features a carbide substrate with a PVD-applied TiCN coating and grade IN1030, optimizing it for cutting steel, stainless steel, super-alloys, and titanium. The insert has a 0.56-inch inscribed circle, 0.229-inch thickness, and a 0.03-inch corner radius. With four cutting edges and a positive rake geometry, it delivers efficient chip evacuation and extended tool life in demanding drilling applications. Licensed HVAC and metalworking trade professionals and CNC machinists are the primary installers and users.

This insert is suited for precision drilling in both production and job-shop environments handling ferrous and exotic alloy workpieces. Compatible drill styles include the 15C, 15S, and DHU indexable drill bodies. The insert size code is 14, with ANSI and ISO code SHLT140508N-FS. It is appropriate for neutral-direction cutting setups where consistent hole quality and insert repeatability are required across moderate to high material hardness ranges.

Installation Notes

Indexable drill inserts are installed by machinists or tool-room technicians following the drill body manufacturer torque and seating specifications. Always ensure the drill body pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before seating the insert. Use the correct torx or hex key as specified by the drill body manufacturer and do not overtighten the clamping screw. Inspect the insert seat for wear or damage before indexing to a fresh cutting edge.
