Kennametal 2047397 Carbide Tip Drill Insert 35/64 Ksem

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2047397 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert designed for use in KSEM-series modular drill bodies. The insert features a 35/64 inch (0.5468 inch / 13.89 mm) cutting diameter, a 140-degree drill point angle, and a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process. Manufactured in fine-grain solid carbide at grade KC7315, the insert delivers consistent performance in steel and other ferrous workpiece materials. The HP insert geometry and regular helical fluting support chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations. Installation uses a clamp-style insert holding method into a size B insert seat.

This insert is suited for production drilling applications in steel (ISO material code P). Typical use cases include flat-entry drilling, inclined exit drilling, and stacked-plate drilling scenarios where a modular drill system is preferred over a brazed or solid shank drill. The KSEM platform allows tip replacement without removing the drill body from the machine, reducing changeover time in production environments. Licensed machinists and toolroom professionals are the primary installers of this insert type.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction at fine-grain KC7315 grade for wear resistance in steel
• TiAlN coating via PVD process for thermal and oxidation resistance at the cutting edge
• 140-degree drill point angle for standard entry geometry in ferrous materials
• HP insert geometry with 2-flute, 2-margin helical flute design for controlled chip flow
• Clamp-style retention into size B KSEM insert seat for positive, repeatable seating
• Rated for inclined exit and stacked-plate drilling applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with KSEM-series modular drill bodies accepting a size B insert seat. Compatible insert geometry is KSEM0547HP (ISO number). Verify body size and seat designation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician following the machine tool manufacturer lockout/tagout procedures before any tool change. Ensure the insert seat and clamping surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Use the manufacturer-specified torque driver or wrench for the clamping screw - do not overtighten. Inspect the insert seat for wear or damage before installing a new tip.
