Kennametal 2036607 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 22.5mm

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2036607 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill in the KSEM series, designed for precision hole-making in steel workpieces. It carries the KC7315 manufacturer grade with a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, delivering thermal resistance and edge durability in demanding drilling operations. The drill features a 22.5mm cutting diameter, a 140-degree included angle standard point, and a helical flute configuration with 2 flutes and 2 margins. The replaceable tip design allows the carbide insert to be swapped at the spindle without removing the drill body from the machine, reducing downtime on production floors. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers of this tooling.

This drill is suited for ferrous metal applications, primarily steel classified under ISO material group P. Typical use cases include through-hole and blind-hole drilling in milling centers and CNC lathes. The HP insert geometry is engineered for inclined exit drilling and stacked plate drilling, making it a practical choice for structural fabrication, automotive, and general machining environments where consistent hole geometry across variable entry and exit conditions is required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide tip with KC7315 grade and fine grain material for edge integrity in steel
• TiAlN coating via PVD process for thermal resistance and extended tool life
• 140-degree standard point angle for stable engagement and accurate hole positioning
• HP insert geometry supports inclined exit and stacked plate drilling applications
• Helical 2-flute, 2-margin design promotes chip evacuation and bore surface finish
• Clamp-style insert holding method for secure, repeatable tip retention

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replaceable tip for use with compatible KSEM series drill bodies accepting insert seat size 4.

Installation Notes

Installation of replaceable carbide drill tips is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is secured before tip removal or installation. Use the appropriate torque wrench and manufacturer-specified clamping hardware when seating the insert to ensure proper tip retention. Verify insert seating and runout with an indicator before returning the assembly to production use.
