Kennametal 5626708 Replaceable Tip Drill 16mm Ksem

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5626708 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill in the KSEM Plus series, designed for high-productivity drilling in steel and stainless steel applications. The tip carries the KCPM45 manufacturer grade with a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, giving it wear resistance suited to demanding ferrous materials. The HPG insert geometry and 140-degree drill point angle promote clean entry and efficient chip evacuation. At 16mm cutting diameter, it fits a standard KSEM size 1 insert seat and is intended for installation and service by machining and toolroom professionals working with CNC or manual drilling equipment.

This replaceable tip drill is designed for production drilling environments where inclined exits, stacked plates, and through-coolant or MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubricant) setups are common. The two-flute, two-margin helical configuration supports stable cutting in both P-group steels and M-group stainless steels. Coolant-through capability is built in, making it well suited for deep-hole and high-speed drilling cycles where heat management is critical to tool life and hole quality.

Key Features

• 16mm cutting diameter with 0.6299 inch decimal equivalent for cross-reference
• KCPM45 grade solid carbide tip with fine grain substrate for toughness and edge retention
• TiAlN PVD coating for thermal and abrasion resistance in steel and stainless steel
• 140-degree drill point angle with HPG geometry for reduced thrust and clean entry
• Coolant-through design supports both flood coolant and MQL delivery
• Clamp-style insert holding for repeatable tip indexing and secure seating
• Rated for inclined exit drilling and stacked plate applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with KSEM Plus series bodies accepting a size 1 insert seat. Primary workpiece material compatibility is P-group steels and M-group stainless steels per ISO material classification.

Installation Notes

Replaceable tip drills of this type are installed and serviced by machinists and toolroom technicians on CNC machining centers and drill presses. Always power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing the carbide tip. Use the appropriate KSEM torque key to clamp the tip securely according to the toolholder manufacturer guidelines. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before each tip installation to ensure proper seating and runout.
