Kennametal 1191617 Carbide Die Drill Bit 0.4724 in

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1191617 is a solid carbide straight-flute die drill bit engineered for precision drilling in demanding industrial applications. Measuring 0.4724 inches (12.00 mm) in diameter with an overall length of 118.00 mm, this bit features a 130-degree split point and web-thinned geometry for accurate entry and reduced thrust. The bright finish and through-coolant design support extended tool life in high-production environments. Two right-hand flutes evacuate chips efficiently, making this bit a reliable choice for machinists and toolroom professionals working with tight tolerances and difficult materials.

This die drill bit is suited for drilling cast iron and non-ferrous metals in production machining and die-and-mold applications. Its straight-flute design is particularly effective in materials that generate short, brittle chips. The maximum drilling depth reaches 56.00 mm (2.2000 inches), and the shank diameter matches the body at 12.00 mm for secure chuck or collet retention. It conforms to DIN 6537L specification, making it a recognized standard for industrial tooling environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• 130-degree split point reduces walking and lowers entry thrust
• Web-thinned geometry improves chip flow and cutting efficiency
• Through-coolant capability via round coolant holes extends tool life in deep-hole operations
• Straight-flute design optimized for cast iron and non-ferrous metal drilling
• Conforms to DIN 6537L specification for consistent dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in machining centers, drill presses, and CNC equipment capable of accepting a 12.00 mm straight shank, targeting cast iron and non-ferrous metal workpieces in die, mold, and general production applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet and verify runout before beginning a cut. Enable through-coolant flow before engaging the workpiece to protect the cutting edge and aid chip evacuation. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting spindle speed and feed rate for carbide tooling.
