Kennametal 5626707 Replaceable Tip Drill 15.88mm Ksem

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5626707 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert designed for the KSEM Plus modular drilling system. Identified by ISO number KSEM0625HPG and manufactured in grade KCPM45 with a fine grain carbide substrate, this tip carries a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for heat and wear resistance during high-productivity drilling operations. The 140-degree drill point angle and HPG insert geometry support clean entry and exit in demanding steel and stainless steel applications. With a cutting diameter of 15.88mm (0.6252 inches) and through-coolant capability including MQL support, it is suited for use by machinists and tool and die professionals in production environments.

This replaceable tip is intended for use in steel and stainless steel workpieces, covering ISO material groups P and M. Typical applications include straight drilling, inclined-surface entry and exit, and stacked-plate drilling. The helical, 2-flute, 2-margin geometry with integrated coolant channels supports chip evacuation and lubrication at the cutting zone. The insert seat size is 1, matching the corresponding KSEM Plus modular drill body. It is a direct replacement for worn or damaged tips in existing KSEM Plus holder assemblies without requiring replacement of the full drill body.

Key Features

• Solid carbide KCPM45 fine grain substrate with PVD TiAlN coating for extended tool life in steel and stainless steel
• 140-degree included angle with HPG geometry for controlled chip formation and reduced thrust force
• Through-coolant and MQL compatible for effective lubrication at the cutting edge
• 2-flute, 2-margin helical flute design for stable cutting action and chip evacuation
• Supports inclined entry, exit, and stacked-plate drilling applications
• Clamp-style insert holding for secure tip retention in the KSEM Plus modular body

Compatibility

Designed for use with KSEM Plus series modular drill bodies accepting insert seat size 1. Compatible primary workpiece materials are steel and stainless steel (ISO material codes P and M). This tip corresponds to ISO designation KSEM0625HPG.

Installation Notes

Installation of this replaceable tip is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians following the machine tool builder and Kennametal KSEM Plus assembly guidelines. The spindle must be fully stopped and the machine placed in a safe, de-energized state before tip removal or installation. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping hardware specified for the KSEM Plus seat size 1 interface — do not substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert seat for debris or damage before seating the new tip to ensure proper contact and runout.
