Kennametal 5626710 Replaceable Tip Drill 16.5mm KCPM45

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5626710 is a carbide replaceable tip drill insert from the KSEM Plus series, designed for high-productivity hole-making in steel and stainless steel applications. Manufactured to ISO designation KSEM1650HPGM, this tip carries the KCPM45 grade with a fine-grain solid carbide construction and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating that extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The 140-degree drill point angle and HPG insert geometry support stable entry and exit, while the 16.5mm cutting diameter and helical, 2-flute design deliver efficient chip evacuation. Coolant-through capability, including MQL (minimum quantity lubrication) compatibility, makes this tip suited to both standard and high-output machining environments. Installation requires a compatible KSEM Plus holder body.

This replaceable tip is intended for use in machining centers, CNC lathes with live tooling, and dedicated drilling machines across job shop and production environments. It is rated for primary workpiece materials classified under ISO material codes P (steel) and M (stainless steel). Typical applications include straight drilling, inclined-entry drilling, drilling of stacked plates, and through-coolant drilling operations. The clamp-style insert holding method allows for quick tip changes at the machine without removing the holder from the spindle, reducing downtime between operations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide KCPM45 grade with fine-grain substrate for toughness and wear resistance
• PVD TiAlN coating for extended tool life in steel and stainless steel
• 140-degree included angle with HPG geometry for controlled entry and chip formation
• 2-flute helical design with 2 margins for stable, accurate hole geometry
• Coolant-through design supports both flood coolant and MQL delivery
• Clamp-type retention in KSEM Plus holder bodies enables fast, repeatable tip indexing

Compatibility

Designed for use with KSEM Plus series holder bodies accepting insert seat size 1 at 16.5mm cutting diameter. Compatible with workpiece materials meeting ISO P (steel) and ISO M (stainless steel) classifications.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of this tip should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician following the holder manufacturer's torque and clamping procedures. Always ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing the tip. Confirm the seating surface of the KSEM Plus holder body is clean and free of chips or debris before seating the new tip. Verify coolant-through passages are clear and unobstructed before returning the assembly to service.
