Ingersoll Cutting Tools 6181215 Replaceable-tip Drill

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 6181215 is a replaceable-tip drill body designed for precision hole-making in metalworking and machining applications. Built from steel, it accepts TKA, TMA, TNA, TPA, TPC, and TPF insert styles at seat size 13.5, giving machinists flexibility in cutting geometry selection. The drill covers a diameter range of 0.5315 to 0.5472 inches, reaches a maximum drill depth of 2.68 inches, and carries a 5xD depth-to-diameter ratio. Through-coolant capability channels fluid directly to the cutting zone, supporting chip evacuation and tool life in production environments. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.625 inches in diameter for secure toolholder engagement.

This drill body is suited for CNC machining centers and drilling operations in job shop and production environments where consistent hole quality and repeatable tool changes are required. The replaceable-tip design reduces downtime by allowing insert swaps without removing the body from the machine. It is compatible with SC HYDRO and SC T toolholder styles, making it a practical choice for shops already running those systems. Right-hand cutting direction is standard. Typical applications include ferrous and non-ferrous metal drilling where controlled depth and diameter tolerances are critical.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the drill body from the toolholder. Verify shank seating and clamp torque per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before running. Confirm through-coolant connections are clear and flow is verified before initiating a cutting cycle.
