Kennametal 1715069 Indexable Insert Drill 3xd 12.7mm

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1715069 is a DFR-series indexable insert drill designed for general-purpose drilling operations on CNC machining centers and manual drilling equipment. It accepts two DFR0202 series inserts and produces holes up to 13.69 mm (0.5394 inches) in maximum diameter with a maximum drill depth of 38.1 mm (1.593 inches), placing it in the 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio category. The body is constructed from steel and features a 3/4-inch Weldon flat flange shank for secure, repeatable tool holding. Coolant-through capability is included via axial concentric entry and 1/8-27 threaded coolant ports at both the shank end and body side.

This drill is suited for production and job-shop environments where indexable tooling is preferred over solid carbide drills for cost-per-hole efficiency. The 3xD ratio makes it appropriate for moderate-depth hole-making in steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials using standard drilling cycles. It is installed and operated by machinists and tooling technicians working with turning centers, vertical machining centers, and drill presses equipped with compatible Weldon flat or flange-style tool holders.

Compatibility

Compatible with DFR-style indexable drill inserts, insert style code DFR0202, and insert size code 0202. Insert lock screw size is M2-0.4x4.5 T6. Fits tool holders designed for a 3/4-inch Weldon flat flange shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts or mounting the drill body. Verify that the tool holder is rated for the shank diameter and style before tightening. Use appropriate T6 Torx tooling for the M2 insert lock screws and follow the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines for coolant pressure when activating the through-coolant feature.
