Kennametal 1522132 Indexable Insert Drill 4xd 3/4 in

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1522132 is a steel-body indexable insert drill designed for general-purpose drilling in metal cutting applications. It accepts two DFT-style inserts and delivers a maximum drill depth of 3 inches at a 4xD depth-to-diameter ratio. The nominal drill diameter is 3/4 inches, with a maximum drill diameter of 0.850 inches. A 1-1/4 inches Weldon Flat and Flange shank provides secure tool holding in compatible drill bodies and machining centers. Coolant-through capability supports chip evacuation and tool life in production drilling environments. This tool is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators in job shop and production settings.

The 1522132 is suited for drilling operations in ferrous and general-purpose workpiece materials where controlled depth and consistent hole quality are required. The right-hand cutting direction and axial concentric coolant entry make it a practical choice for vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers, and lathe turret applications. The DFT insert compatibility and 4xD depth ratio position this drill for through-hole and blind-hole work in production or maintenance machining scenarios.

Compatibility

Designed for use with DFT-series indexable insert drill bodies and DFT0303. compatible inserts. Insert lock screw size is M2.5-0.45x5.9T8. Verify insert seat condition and shank bore fit before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by qualified machinists following standard lockout/tagout procedures with the machine powered down and spindle at rest. Ensure the shank bore and Weldon flat engagement meet machine tool manufacturer specifications before tightening. Do not operate without confirming insert seating and screw torque with the appropriate T8 Torx driver. Coolant lines should be purged and confirmed clear before resuming cutting operations.
