Kennametal 1198630 Solid Carbide Die Drill Bit 0.3543 in

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1198630 is a solid carbide straight-flute die drill bit engineered for precision hole-making in cast iron and non-ferrous metals. Part of the B411 series, this drill features a 130-degree split point with web thinning to reduce thrust and improve centering accuracy at entry. The 0.3543-inch (9.00 mm) cutting diameter is matched to a 10.00 mm shank and delivers a maximum drilling depth of 1.93 inches (49.00 mm). Internal coolant-through capability via round coolant holes keeps the cutting edge cool during extended production cycles. The bright finish reduces friction and is suited to the workpiece materials this tool targets.

This drill bit is designed for use in production machining environments where consistent hole quality in cast iron and non-ferrous metals is required. The straight-flute geometry makes it particularly well-suited for die work, gun drilling setups, and short-hole applications where chip evacuation is managed through coolant pressure rather than flute geometry. It is a fit for CNC machining centers and drill presses equipped with through-spindle or through-tool coolant delivery. The right-hand cutting direction and 2-flute configuration support standard spindle rotation in most machine tool setups. Machinists and tool and die professionals working to DIN 6537L specifications will find this tool dimensionally compliant.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive workpiece materials
• 130-degree split point with web thinning reduces entry thrust and improves self-centering
• Coolant-through design with round coolant holes supports high-speed production drilling
• Straight-flute geometry suited to die drilling and short-hole applications
• Bright finish with a diameter tolerance of +0.001 to +0.010 mm for precise fit
• Conforms to DIN 6537L specification for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed for machining cast iron and non-ferrous metals. Primary and secondary workpiece materials listed in the specification are cast iron and non-ferrous metals. Requires a machine tool with through-spindle or external coolant capability to fully utilize the coolant-through feature.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or tool and die professionals. Ensure the machine spindle and collet or chuck are rated for the 10.00 mm shank diameter before mounting. Power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Always verify coolant pressure and flow rate are within the tool and machine manufacturer guidelines before beginning a drilling cycle.
