Kennametal 5397483 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 20mm

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5397483 is a carbide replaceable tip drill designed for high-productivity hole-making in steel and stainless steel applications. This insert corresponds to ISO designation KSEM2000HPGM and carries the KCPM45 manufacturer grade with a fine-grain solid carbide construction. The tip features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, a 140-degree drill point angle, and an HPG insert geometry. With a cutting diameter of 20mm (0.7874 inches) and through-coolant capability including MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubricant) compatibility, this drill is suited for licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in production environments.

This replaceable tip drill belongs to the KSEM Plus series and is engineered for demanding drilling operations including inclined-exit drilling and stacked-plate drilling. The two-flute, two-margin helical flute design promotes chip evacuation and maintains hole quality across varied steel and stainless steel workpieces. It is applicable to CNC machining centers and drill presses where high-feed, through-coolant setups are standard. The clamp-style insert holding method allows rapid tip changes without removing the drill body from the spindle, reducing downtime in production runs.

Key Features

• Solid carbide KCPM45 grade tip with fine-grain material for wear resistance in steel and stainless steel
• TiAlN PVD coating for thermal protection and extended tool life at elevated cutting speeds
• 140-degree drill point angle with HPG geometry for reduced thrust and improved centering
• Through-coolant design supports both flood coolant and MQL delivery methods
• Two-flute helical configuration with two margins for straightness and surface finish
• Replaceable tip system with clamp holding for fast indexing without body removal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replaceable tip for use in KSEM Plus series drill bodies accepting insert seat size 3 with a 20mm cutting diameter. Compatible workpiece materials are listed as steel (ISO P) and stainless steel (ISO M).

Installation Notes

Installation of replaceable carbide drill tips should be performed by a qualified machinist following the drill body manufacturer torque and seating procedures. Ensure the drill body and insert seat are clean and free of chips before seating the tip. Confirm through-coolant passages are clear before use. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before performing any tip change.
