Kennametal 5397510 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 40mm

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5397510 is a carbide replaceable tip drill built around the KSEM Plus platform, designed for high-productivity hole-making in steel and stainless steel. The tip carries the KCPM45 manufacturer grade in a fine-grain solid carbide construction with a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)-applied TiAlN coating for heat and wear resistance. At 40mm cutting diameter with a 140-degree drill point angle, this insert is suited for demanding applications where tool life and hole quality must be maintained across extended runs. Installation and changeover are handled by machining professionals using the KSEM clamp-style insert holding system.

This replaceable tip drill insert is rated for use in steel and stainless steel workpiece materials, covering ISO material codes P and M. It is engineered for drilling operations including standard through-drilling, inclined-exit drilling, and stacked-plate drilling. The helical, regular-spiral, two-flute geometry with a two-margin design supports coolant delivery through the tool body, with compatibility for both through-coolant and Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) strategies. The insert seat size is 10, and the ISO designation is KSEM4000HPGM with HPG insert geometry.

Key Features

• Solid carbide fine-grain KCPM45 grade tip for wear resistance in steel and stainless steel
• TiAlN coating applied via PVD process for elevated temperature performance
• 140-degree drill point angle for standard point geometry and clean entry
• Two-flute helical design with two-margin configuration for stable hole guidance
• Through-coolant and MQL compatible for flexible cutting fluid strategies
• Rated for inclined-exit and stacked-plate drilling applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with KSEM Plus series drill bodies accepting insert seat size 10. Compatible with workpiece materials classified under ISO codes P (steel) and M (stainless steel). ISO designation KSEM4000HPGM.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down the spindle and confirm the machine is in a safe, locked state before changing the insert. Seat the tip fully in the KSEM clamp holder and torque the clamping screw according to the tool body manufacturer specification — do not rely on feel alone. Verify coolant passage alignment before returning the tool to service.
