Kennametal 1153169 Carbide Jobber Drill Bit 5/32 in

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1153169 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in demanding production environments. Built to DIN 6537L standards, it features a 130-degree point angle with web thinning for reduced thrust and clean entry. The bright uncoated carbide construction suits applications where coating is unnecessary or where the base substrate performance is preferred. At 2.6 inches overall length with a 1.06-inch flute length, this K10 material grade bit is engineered for consistent performance across cross hole, inclined hole exit, and standard drilling operations. Machinists and toolroom professionals rely on this bit for high-tolerance work where dimensional accuracy is critical.

This bit is rated for drilling, cross hole, and inclined hole exit applications. The 5/32-inch cutting diameter with a 3/16-inch straight-cylindrical shank provides rigidity and positive chuck engagement. A 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and regular spiral geometry support efficient chip evacuation. The 2-flute helical design and parallel web configuration make it well suited for CNC machining centers and manual drill presses handling ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces requiring tight tolerances.

Key Features

• Solid carbide K10 material grade for rigidity and wear resistance
• 130-degree point angle with web thinning reduces entry thrust
• DIN 6537L specification for dimensional consistency
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of base materials
• Right-hand cut, 2-flute helical geometry for efficient chip removal
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling selection within the KENNAMETAL K105 series for jobber-length carbide drill bit applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before changing tooling. Verify chuck or collet runout is within acceptable limits before seating the shank to protect the cutting edge and maintain diameter tolerance. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines for carbide tooling handling.
