Mitsubishi 359873 Replaceable Drill Tip Solid Carbide VP15TF

Product Description

The MITSUBISHI 359873 is a replaceable drill tip designed for use with compatible indexable drill bodies in precision machining operations. Manufactured from solid carbide and offered in the VP15TF grade, this tip delivers consistent cutting performance in a range of metal-cutting applications. With a functional length of 0.162 inches, it is engineered for close-tolerance drilling work. The replaceable design allows machinists and tooling technicians to swap worn cutting tips without replacing the entire drill body, reducing tooling costs and downtime on the shop floor.

This drill tip is suited for CNC machining centers, turning centers, and other machine tool setups where indexable drilling systems are used. The solid carbide construction and VP15TF grade make it appropriate for drilling steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials in production or job shop environments. It is sold as a single tip per package and is intended for professional machining personnel familiar with indexable tooling systems.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replaceable tip for compatible MITSUBISHI indexable drill body systems that accept the 359873 tip specification. Consult the drill body documentation to confirm tip compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician familiar with indexable cutting tool systems. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before removing or installing any cutting tip. Use the appropriate torque wrench and seating tools as specified by the drill body manufacturer — do not overtighten the clamping screw. Inspect the tip pocket for chips, debris, or damage before seating the new tip.
