Kennametal 7064678 Indexable Drill Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7064678 is an indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable insert drill bodies. It functions as a replaceable cutting element, allowing worn or damaged inserts to be swapped out without replacing the entire drill body. Indexable drill inserts seat into a precision pocket on the drill body and are held in place by a clamping screw or lever lock. This insert is suited for metalworking applications including drilling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and tool crib personnel handling carbide tooling programs are the primary users of this consumable insert.

Indexable drill inserts of this type are used in CNC machining centers, turning centers with live tooling, and manual drill press setups where indexable insert drills are mounted. They are typically found in production and job shop environments performing hole-making operations. Proper seating in the insert pocket is critical to achieving correct geometry and dimensional accuracy on the finished bore.

Key Features

• Replaceable cutting insert extends the life of the drill body
• Indexable design allows quick changeover without special grinding equipment
• Sold individually, allowing single-insert replacement as needed
• Compatible with KENNAMETAL indexable insert drill bodies designed for this insert geometry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for KENNAMETAL indexable drill bodies that accept the 7064678 insert geometry. Verify insert pocket geometry and clamping style against the drill body specification before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the machine placed in a locked-out, tagged-out state before changing inserts. Use the correct Torx or hex key as specified by the drill body manufacturer to seat and torque the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or wear before installing a new insert.
