Kennametal 2036612 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 26.5mm

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2036612 is a carbide replaceable tip drill in the KSEM series, designed for precision hole-making in steel and similar workpiece materials. It accepts an KSEM2650HPM insert tip manufactured from solid carbide with a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process. The cutting diameter measures 26.5 mm (1.0433 inches), and the drill point geometry features a 140-degree included angle with a standard point type. Two helical flutes and a 2-flute, 2-margin configuration provide chip evacuation and stable cutting action. The insert is secured by a clamp-style holding method and fits an insert seat size 6. Licensed trades and machining professionals install this tool in CNC machining centers and drill presses used in metalworking applications.

This replaceable tip drill is suited for production drilling in steel components, including challenging entry and exit conditions. The HP insert geometry and KC7315 grade fine-grain carbide substrate are selected for steel applications designated under ISO material code P. Documented application support includes drilling on inclined exits and stacked plate configurations, making it a practical choice for structural fabrication and general machining shops where tool economy and consistent hole quality are required. The replaceable tip design reduces tooling cost compared to solid carbide drills by allowing tip replacement without discarding the drill body.

Key Features

• KC7315 fine-grain carbide grade optimized for ISO P (steel) workpiece materials
• 2-flute helical configuration with regular spiral for efficient chip evacuation
• Clamp-style insert holding for secure tip retention during drilling
• Supports inclined exit and stacked plate drilling applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tip drill body compatible with KSEM series replaceable tip inserts sized for insert seat size 6 in KSEM drill body configurations. Specific compatible drill body models were not provided in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation and tip changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per facility LOTO procedures. The insert clamp and seating surfaces should be inspected for debris or damage before seating the replaceable tip. Refer to the machine tool manufacturer specifications for spindle speed and feed rate parameters appropriate to the workpiece material and hole depth. Do not exceed the rated cutting diameter or apply side-loading forces beyond the tool design intent.
