Kennametal 3690717 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 24mm KC7315

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 3690717 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert in the KSEM Plus series, designed for use with compatible KSEM modular drill bodies. The insert features a 24mm (0.9449 inch) cutting diameter, a 140-degree drill point angle, and a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process. The fine-grain carbide substrate paired with the KC7315 manufacturer grade delivers hardness and wear resistance suited to demanding metal-cutting operations. The HPG insert geometry supports chip control and cutting efficiency. This insert is installed and serviced by machinists and tool-crib technicians working on CNC drilling operations.

This replaceable tip is engineered for drilling applications across a broad range of workpiece materials, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. The KSEM Plus modular system allows the carbide tip to be swapped without removing the drill body from the machine, reducing changeover time on production floors. Typical use cases include through-hole and blind-hole drilling in general machining, aerospace, and heavy equipment manufacturing environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with KSEM Plus series modular drill bodies accepting insert seat size 4. The ISO number for this insert is KSEMP2400HPGM. Verify tool body seat size and series designation before ordering.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the drill body is fully secured and the machine spindle is powered down and locked out before removing or installing the replaceable tip. Use the manufacturer-specified clamping key to seat and torque the insert clamp; do not use improvised tools that could damage the seating surface. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before installation to ensure proper tip contact and runout.
