Kennametal 5066798 Indexable Carbide Drilling Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5066798 is an indexable carbide drilling insert designed for use in compatible indexable drill bodies. This insert is manufactured from carbide, delivering the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding drilling operations in metal-cutting applications. It is a single-use, indexable geometry insert, meaning the cutting edge is replaced by rotating or swapping the insert rather than regrinding. Machinists and tool-crib technicians working in production machining, job shops, or maintenance environments will install this insert as part of a modular drilling system.

This insert is suited for drilling operations on CNC machining centers, lathes with live tooling, or dedicated drilling machines. Carbide insert drills of this type are commonly used when drilling steel, cast iron, stainless, or similar ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The insert seats into a compatible KENNAMETAL indexable drill body and must be matched to the correct pocket geometry and clamping style for that body.

Key Features

• Carbide substrate construction for high wear resistance in drilling applications
• Indexable design eliminates regrinding and reduces downtime during insert changes
• Single insert per package, sold in minimum order quantities of 10 units
• Designed for use in compatible modular indexable drill bodies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indexable drilling insert for use in compatible KENNAMETAL indexable drill bodies that accept this insert geometry and pocket style. Verify pocket style, insert geometry, and clamping compatibility with the specific drill body before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician following the drill body manufacturer's torque and clamping specifications. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for damage or debris before seating the new insert. Use the manufacturer-specified torque driver for the clamping screw to avoid over- or under-torquing the seat.
