Kennametal 2238560 Replaceable-tip Drill Ksem Series

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2238560 is a replaceable-tip drill body in the KSEM series, designed for precision hole-making in metalworking and machining applications. It accepts KSEM1063 inserts at insert seat size 6, allowing tip replacement without discarding the body. The drill covers a diameter range of 26.99 to 27.49 mm (1.0626 to 1.0823 inches) and reaches a maximum drill depth of 80.96 mm (3.19 inches), representing a 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio. Through-coolant delivery is built in, supporting high-speed cutting and chip evacuation. The overall length is 7.63 inches. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

The 2238560 drill body suits CNC machining centers and drill presses requiring a straight-cylindrical shank interface. The 31.75 mm straight-cylindrical shank fits standard toolholders sized for that shank diameter. With a flute length of 4.22 inches and a shank length of 3.25 inches (82.55 mm), the body is configured for mid-depth drilling operations. Through-coolant holes measuring 4.00 mm (0.1575 inches) in diameter channel cutting fluid directly to the cutting edge, making this body well suited for steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous workpiece materials in high-volume production runs.

Compatibility

Designed for use with KSEM1063 series replaceable drill tip inserts at insert seat size 6 within the KENNAMETAL KSEM drill body platform.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the toolholder bore matches the 31.75 mm straight-cylindrical shank diameter and that the insert is fully seated and secured before running the spindle. Do not exceed the rated maximum drill depth of 80.96 mm. Confirm coolant supply lines are connected and functioning before initiating through-coolant operation.
