Kennametal 1505194 Replaceable-tip Drill Ksem Series

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1505194 is a replaceable-tip drill body in the KSEM series, designed for precision deep-hole drilling in metalworking applications. The body accepts KSEM1188 insert tips at an insert seat size 8, covering a drill diameter range of 30.16 to 30.66 mm (1.1874 to 1.2071 inches). Maximum drill depth is 160 mm (6.30 inches), supporting a 5xD depth-to-diameter ratio. The 31.75 mm Weldon Flat shank provides positive rotational drive and is standard for use in milling machines and machining centers. Through-coolant capability is built in, with NPT-threaded coolant ports at both the body side and shank end. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this tool in production and job-shop environments.

The 1505194 drill body is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous material removal in medium to large bore applications, particularly where consistent hole diameter and straightness over extended depths are required. The replaceable-tip design allows insert changes at the machine without removing the body from the spindle, reducing downtime on high-volume production runs. The KSEM series platform is a modular system; the body pairs exclusively with KSEM1188-style insert tips. Overall length is 298.45 mm (11.75 inches), and flute length is 197.49 mm (7.78 inches), giving adequate chip evacuation clearance for the rated depth range.

Key Features

• Through-coolant design with NPT body side port (1/8-27) and shank end port (1/4-18) for effective chip flushing and heat control
• Weldon Flat shank at 31.75 mm diameter provides secure, slip-resistant drive in standard Weldon-style holders
• 5xD depth-to-diameter ratio supports maximum drill depth of 160 mm (6.30 inches)
• Maximum depth range extends to 200 mm (7.87 inches) depending on insert tip configuration

Compatibility

Compatible with KSEM1188 replaceable insert tips at insert seat size 8. This body is part of the KENNAMETAL KSEM modular drill series. No other compatible model numbers or cross-references were specified in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped. Confirm the Weldon Flat holder bore matches the 31.75 mm shank diameter before mounting. Connect through-coolant supply lines to the appropriate NPT ports using thread sealant rated for coolant fluids; verify port sizes (1/8-27 body side, 1/4-18 shank end) before fitting. Follow the tool manufacturer's recommended clamping torque for the Weldon set screw and inspect the insert seat for debris before seating a new KSEM1188 tip.
