Kennametal 2047466 Carbide Tip Drill 1-1/2 in KC7315 Ksem

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2047466 is a carbide replaceable tip drill in the KSEM series, designed for high-productivity hole making in steel and similar ferrous workpiece materials. The tip is manufactured from solid carbide in the KC7315 grade, a fine grain PVD-coated substrate with a TiAlN finish that delivers thermal resistance and extended tool life in demanding drilling applications. The drill features a 1-1/2 inch (38.10 mm) cutting diameter, a 140-degree included point angle, and a helical flute configuration with two flutes and two margins. The replaceable tip design allows the carbide insert to be swapped at the machine without removing the drill body, reducing downtime in production environments. This tool is typically installed and managed by machinists and toolroom technicians in metalworking shops.

This drill is engineered for drilling operations in steel workpieces, classified under ISO material group P. The KSEM series is suited for a range of demanding drilling scenarios including inclined exit surfaces and stacked plate configurations, where point geometry stability is critical. The HP insert geometry is specific to this series and seat size 10. The tool does not feature through-coolant capability, so external or flood coolant strategies should be considered when operating at production feeds and speeds. It is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers and drill presses equipped to hold the KSEM body shank format.

Key Features

• Solid carbide KC7315 fine grain tip with PVD-applied TiAlN coating for heat and wear resistance
• 1-1/2 inch (38.10 mm) cutting diameter with 140-degree standard drill point angle
• Two-flute, two-margin helical design for chip evacuation and hole quality in steel
• Replaceable tip (clamp-held, seat size 10) reduces body replacement costs in production runs
• Rated for inclined exit and stacked plate drilling applications
• Regular spiral flute type for balanced cutting action in P-grade workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as a replaceable tip insert for use with KSEM series drill bodies accepting seat size 10 inserts. Compatible primary workpiece material is steel (ISO P). Specific compatible body part numbers were not included in the available product data; consult the KENNAMETAL KSEM series selection guide to confirm body compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation of the replaceable tip should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician following the tool manufacturer's clamping procedure for KSEM seat size 10 inserts. Ensure the machine spindle is fully de-energized and locked out before changing the tip. Seat and clamping surfaces should be inspected and cleaned prior to seating the new tip to ensure proper contact and runout. Do not exceed the manufacturer-recommended feed and speed parameters for the KC7315 grade and workpiece material combination.
