Kennametal 3381130 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill Ksem

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 3381130 is a carbide replaceable tip drill in the KSEM series, designed for high-productivity hole-making in metalworking applications. The drill accepts a solid carbide tip insert with an HPL geometry and an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) PVD coating, delivering heat and wear resistance in demanding cutting conditions. The cutting diameter is 0.6563 inches (16.67mm), the drill point angle is 140 degrees, and the flute length is 8.00mm. This tool is intended for use by machinists and toolroom professionals working with CNC machining centers and similar drilling equipment.

The KENNAMETAL 3381130 is suited for drilling operations in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium, covering ISO material groups P, M, K, N, and S. Typical applications include standard through-hole drilling as well as inclined exit drilling and stacked plate drilling. The two-flute, two-margin helical design supports stable chip evacuation and consistent hole quality across these material groups. The replaceable tip design reduces tooling cost by allowing tip replacement without changing the drill body.

Key Features

• Solid carbide tip insert with AlTiN PVD coating for wear and heat resistance
• HPL insert geometry with a 140-degree drill point angle for controlled entry and exit
• Two-flute, two-margin helical configuration supports chip control and hole straightness
• Clamp-style insert holding method for secure, repeatable tip positioning
• Compatible with inclined exit and stacked plate drilling applications
• Replaceable tip system reduces per-hole tooling cost versus solid drills

Compatibility

Designed for use with KSEM series drill bodies accepting insert seat size 1, with an ISO number designation of KSEM0656HPL and manufacturer grade KCMS15. Verify body and seat size compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation and tip changes should be performed by qualified machinists following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before seating or removing the insert tip. Use the correct torque tool as specified by the drill body manufacturer when clamping the insert. Confirm runout and tool projection settings before beginning a new drilling operation.
