Kennametal 5397507 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 1.3125 in

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5397507 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill in the KSEM Plus series, designed for high-productivity drilling in steel and stainless steel applications. The insert carries the KSEM1313HPG ISO designation with a KCPM45 fine-grain carbide grade and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for heat and wear resistance. The 140-degree included angle suits standard point geometry for a wide range of entry conditions. With a cutting diameter of 1.3125 inches (33.00 mm) and a 2-flute helical design with dual margins, this tip is built for rigid, accurate hole-making in production environments. Installation and changeover are handled by machinists and tooling technicians on CNC machining centers and drill presses.

This replaceable tip is engineered for drilling operations in steel (ISO P) and stainless steel (ISO M) workpiece materials. The HPG insert geometry, combined with through-coolant capability including MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubricant) support, makes it suitable for demanding drilling cycles including inclined entry, stacked plate drilling, and through-coolant applications. The KSEM Plus system uses a clamp-style insert holding method with an insert seat size of 9, enabling fast tip changes without removing the holder body from the spindle.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp screw specified by KENNAMETAL for the KSEM Plus seat size 9 system — do not overtighten by feel. Confirm coolant port alignment after tip installation before resuming cutting operations.
