Ingersoll Cutting Tools 6181212 Replaceable-tip Drill

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 6181212 is a replaceable-tip drill designed for precision hole-making in metal fabrication, machining, and manufacturing environments. This style of drill uses an indexable or swappable cutting tip seated on a carbide or alloy body, allowing machinists to replace only the worn tip rather than the entire tool. The result is reduced tooling cost per hole and consistent cutting geometry across production runs. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers in shop environments requiring repeatable, high-quality bore entry and through-hole performance.

The 6181212 is suited for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and turning centers where replaceable-tip tooling systems are specified. Typical applications include drilling operations in carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and similar workpiece materials found in general metalworking and production machining. The tool body accepts a matched replaceable tip, making it appropriate for shops running high-volume drilling programs where tip changeover speed and accuracy matter.

Key Features

• Replaceable-tip design reduces per-hole tooling cost compared to solid-body drills
• Consistent cutting geometry maintained across tip changes
• Compatible with standard coolant-through or external coolant delivery setups common in CNC drilling operations
• Lightweight build at 0.25 pounds for easy handling and spindle loading
• UNSPSC Code 23291502 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replaceable-tip drill body for use with matched cutting tips in industrial CNC and manual drilling applications. No specific compatible models or systems were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation and tip changes should be performed by a qualified machinist following the tool manufacturer's assembly instructions. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before mounting or removing the tool or replacing the tip. Use the appropriate torque wrench and tip-seat cleaning procedure to ensure proper tip seating and runout control. Follow applicable shop safety and tooling standards during setup.
