Iscar 3201038 Replaceable-tip Drill Weldon Flat Shank

Product Description

The ISCAR 3201038 is a replaceable-tip drill body designed for precision hole-making in metal cutting applications. It accepts IDK, IDM, IDN, and IDP series insert tips, allowing the operator to swap worn cutting tips without replacing the entire tool body. The drill covers a diameter range of 0.472 to 0.508 inches and reaches a maximum depth of 1.41 inches, making it suited for moderate-depth drilling operations. Through-coolant capability delivers cutting fluid directly to the tip for improved chip evacuation and tool life. Part of the ISCAR ChamDrillJet series, this body is built around a DSM toolholder style with a 0.625-inch Weldon Flat shank. Machinists and tooling specialists working in production or job-shop environments are the primary users.

This drill body is used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with a compatible Weldon Flat tool holder sized for a 0.625-inch shank. The 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio suits through-hole and blind-hole work in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials where the ChamDrillJet insert platform is commonly applied. The body length is 1.99 inches and the shank length is 1.98 inches, giving a 3.97-inch overall length that fits standard spindle clearances in most vertical and horizontal machining setups.

Compatible with IDK, IDM, IDN, and IDP series replaceable drill tip inserts. Designed for use with DSM-style toolholders accepting a 0.625-inch Weldon Flat shank. Part of the ISCAR ChamDrillJet series platform.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is de-energized before mounting or changing insert tips. Seat the Weldon Flat shank fully into the holder and tighten the set screw to the holder manufacturer's specification before cutting. Verify coolant-through passages are clear and unobstructed before beginning any drilling cycle.
