Kennametal 1606882 Replaceable-tip Drill Ksem Series 5xd

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1606882 is a replaceable-tip drill body in the KSEM series, designed for precision hole-making in metalworking and machining applications. It accepts KSEM0672 insert style tips at insert seat size 1, allowing the cutting edge to be swapped without replacing the full drill body. The tool covers a diameter range of 17.07 to 17.57 mm (0.672 to 0.6917 inches) with a maximum drill depth of 89.92 mm (3.54 inches), giving a 5xD depth-to-diameter ratio. Through-coolant delivery via a 3.50 mm coolant hole supports chip evacuation and thermal management at the cutting zone. This body is intended for use in CNC machining centers by machinists and tooling technicians.

This drill body is suited for medium-depth hole production in ferrous and non-ferrous materials on CNC turning and milling platforms. The straight-cylindrical shank at 19.05 mm diameter provides consistent clamping in standard ER or hydraulic chucks. With an overall length of 165.1 mm (6.5 inches) and a flute length of 110.24 mm (4.34 inches), the 1606882 fits typical vertical and horizontal machining center setups where 5xD drilling is required. The 50.80 mm shank length supports stable tool holding in standard tool holders.

Key Features

• 5xD depth-to-diameter ratio supports medium-deep hole production in a single pass
• Through-coolant delivery via 3.50 mm internal coolant hole improves chip flushing and cutting zone cooling
• Straight-cylindrical 19.05 mm shank is compatible with standard ER collet and hydraulic chuck systems
• 165.1 mm overall length with 110.24 mm flute length accommodates typical CNC machining center setups
• KSEM series design provides repeatable tip indexing and consistent hole diameter across insert changes

Compatibility

Designed for use with KSEM0672 compatible insert tips at insert seat size 1. Part of the KENNAMETAL KSEM series replaceable-tip drill platform.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine powered down and spindle fully stopped. Ensure the straight-cylindrical shank is properly seated and torqued in the tool holder per the machine tool manufacturer specifications before operation. Verify through-coolant connections are clear and delivering adequate flow before running the drill at depth. Always inspect the insert seat and clamping surfaces for debris or damage prior to mounting a new KSEM0672 tip.
