Kennametal 2213696 Carbide Drill Bit 1/8 Inch Tialn

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2213696 is a screw machine length drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling in ferrous and hard materials. Built from solid carbide and coated with a multilayer TiAlN finish, it delivers superior wear resistance and heat tolerance compared to HSS tooling. The 140-degree split point promotes self-centering and reduces thrust on entry, while the web-thinned geometry supports efficient chip evacuation. At 2.44 inches overall length with a 1/8-inch cutting diameter, this stub-length bit provides added rigidity for close-tolerance work in machining centers, CNC drill presses, and screw machines. It meets DIN 6537K specification and suits machinists, toolroom technicians, and precision fab shops.

Designed for production drilling in cast iron and steel, the 2213696 is suited to short-reach setups where deflection control is critical. The straight cylindrical shank at 0.2362 inches diameter seats cleanly in standard drill chucks and collet holders. The maximum drilling depth of 14 mm (0.55 inches) reflects the screw machine length format, making it ideal for through-holes and shallow blind holes in CNC and manual machine tool applications where rigidity and accuracy take priority over depth capacity.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear life beyond HSS in abrasive materials
• Multilayer TiAlN coating reduces heat buildup and extends tool life in dry or minimum-quantity lubrication setups
• 140-degree standard point angle with web thinning for self-centering entry and lower thrust force
• Regular spiral flute with parallel web configuration for consistent chip flow
• Straight cylindrical shank at 6 mm (0.2362 inches) for compatibility with standard chucks and collet toolholding
• Conforms to DIN 6537K specification for dimensional consistency and interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 6537K-conforming screw machine length drill bit for use in cast iron and steel workpieces. Compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks, ER collet systems, and machine tool spindles accepting a 6 mm shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and tooling changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and spindle locked per shop safety procedures. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck or collet is properly torqued before operation. Do not exceed the recommended maximum drilling depth of 14 mm for this screw machine length format. Inspect the cutting edge and coating condition before each use; carbide is brittle and susceptible to chipping if dropped or improperly stored.
