Kennametal 1127923 Pilot Drill Insert 30mm Hts Dft

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1127923 is a high speed steel pilot drill insert designed for use in HTS DFT modular drilling systems. Manufactured to Insert Style B510 and Manufacturer Grade AS3, this insert features a 30mm diameter cutting geometry with a 118-degree point angle. The titanium nitride (TiN) coating reduces surface friction and extends tool life in demanding drilling applications. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians install this insert as a replaceable cutting component within compatible HTS DFT drill bodies, reducing downtime by allowing the insert to be swapped without replacing the full drill assembly.

This pilot drill insert is suited for production machining environments where high-speed steel cutting performance is required at 30mm diameter. It fits into HTS DFT modular drill systems and is appropriate for operations on steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous workpiece materials. The B510 insert style is a specific form factor within the Kennametal HTS DFT platform, making this a direct drop-in replacement for worn or damaged inserts in that system. Typical applications include CNC machining centers and manual drill presses running production runs that demand repeatable hole quality.

Key Features

• 30mm cutting diameter in B510 insert style for HTS DFT modular drill bodies
• 118-degree point angle for general-purpose drilling geometry
• High speed steel (HSS) construction rated to Manufacturer Grade AS3
• Titanium nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction and improves wear resistance
• Replaceable insert design minimizes full-tool replacement cost

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement insert for KENNAMETAL HTS DFT series modular drill bodies requiring a 30mm diameter B510-style pilot drill insert.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with modular drill insert systems. Power down and de-energize all spindle drives before servicing the drill body. Follow the drill body manufacturer torque and seating procedures specified in the HTS DFT system documentation — do not substitute generic values. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for wear or damage before seating the new insert.
