Kennametal 5066013 Indexable Carbide Drilling Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5066013 is an indexable carbide drilling insert designed for use in compatible indexable drill bodies. Manufactured in the KCU40 carbide grade, this insert is engineered for drilling operations where consistent hole quality and insert longevity are required. At 0.04 pounds, it is a compact, precision-ground cutting tool intended for installation by machinists and toolroom technicians working on CNC or manual drilling applications. The insert seats into a designated pocket on the drill body and is clamped or screwed into position, allowing for repeatable edge indexing without the need to replace the entire tool body.

This insert is suited for metalcutting drilling applications in industrial machining environments, including production shops, job shops, and manufacturing facilities. The KCU40 carbide grade is formulated for drilling a range of workpiece materials. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations on machining centers and drill presses where indexable tooling is preferred over solid carbide or brazed alternatives.

Key Features

• KCU40 carbide grade construction for wear resistance in drilling applications
• Indexable design allows multiple cutting edges to be used before tool retirement
• Compact insert weight of 0.04 pounds for use in precision drill body pockets
• Compatible with indexable drill body systems requiring this insert geometry
• Sold individually, designed for use in multiples per drill body configuration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement indexable drilling insert for compatible KENNAMETAL indexable drill bodies requiring this insert geometry and grade specification. Refer to the drill body documentation to confirm insert pocket compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before seating the insert, clean the pocket of chips, debris, and coolant residue to ensure proper seating and clamping. Use the manufacturer-specified torque driver or wrench for the clamping screw — do not overtighten by feel alone. Inspect the pocket for wear or damage each time an insert is indexed or replaced.
