Seco 00059676 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 15.88mm SD100

Product Description

The SECO 00059676 is a carbide replaceable tip drill designed for high-productivity hole-making in steel and similar ferrous workpiece materials. It features a solid carbide tip with a TiAlN (titanium aluminum nitride) coating applied via PVD process, which improves wear resistance and extends tool life at elevated cutting temperatures. The drill has a 140-degree included point angle suited for center-cutting entry and chip control in production environments. At 15.88mm in diameter with a tip height of 11.9mm (0.4685 inches), it belongs to the SD100 series and is intended for use by machinists and tooling technicians on CNC machining centers and production drilling applications.

This replaceable tip drill is used in metalworking and precision machining operations, primarily targeting steel (ISO P workpiece material group). The SD100 series platform uses an interchangeable tip design, which reduces tooling costs by allowing tip replacement without discarding the drill body. Through-coolant capability makes this drill well suited to deep-hole or high-feed drilling cycles where chip evacuation and thermal management are critical. Typical installation environments include job shop and production machining facilities running CNC turning centers or vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Key Features

• Solid carbide tip with TiAlN PVD coating for extended wear resistance in steel cutting
• 140-degree included point angle for stable entry and controlled chip formation
• Through-coolant design supports efficient chip evacuation and heat management
• Replaceable tip platform (SD100 series) reduces overall tooling cost
• Insert geometry designation P matched to ISO P (steel) primary workpiece materials
• Tip height of 11.9mm (0.4685 inches) provides consistent depth reference at tip replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replaceable tip for use with compatible SECO SD100 series drill bodies accepting a 15.88mm P-geometry carbide tip.

Installation Notes

Replaceable tip drills of this type are installed and serviced by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is secured in a tool holder before tip removal or installation. Follow the drill body manufacturer torque guidelines for tip seating — do not overtighten or seat tips with impact tools. Verify through-coolant passages are clear before resuming cutting operations.
