Kennametal 1245835 Hts Dft Inner Drill Cartridge

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1245835 is a Series HTS DFT inner drill cartridge designed for use in multi-insert indexable drilling systems. Positioned at the inner location within the drill body, this cartridge accepts three DFT 06T308 inserts and works as part of a coordinated cutting assembly where separate inner and outer cartridges share the drilling load across a workpiece. Typical end users are machining professionals operating CNC turning centers, machining cells, or production drilling setups where insert-style tooling is required for repeatable, high-volume hole-making. The cartridge is a direct OEM-style component intended as a replacement or spare for existing HTS DFT tooling systems.

This cartridge is used in industrial metal-cutting applications that demand precise insert positioning at the inner cutting zone of a multi-insert indexable drill. It fits into Series HTS DFT drill bodies designed to run three inserts at the inner position. Typical applications include production drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials on CNC lathes and machining centers. Shops running HTS DFT tooling will stock this cartridge as a replacement component to minimize downtime when cartridge seats wear or when reconfiguring drill assemblies.

Key Features

• Inner cartridge location for Series HTS DFT indexable drill bodies
• Accepts three DFT 06T308 finishing inserts per cartridge
• Designed for high-production drilling environments requiring consistent insert positioning
• Lightweight component at 0.34 pounds for easy handling during changeover
• UNSPSC Code 23291503 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed for use in Series HTS DFT drill bodies requiring an inner cartridge. Compatible with DFT 06T308 inserts as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all energy sources are locked out before accessing the drill body or changing cartridges. Seat the cartridge fully into the inner pocket of the drill body and secure fasteners to the tool manufacturer's specified procedure before resuming cutting operations. Inspect insert seats and cartridge contact surfaces for wear or damage prior to each installation.
