Seco 00059680 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 16.67mm SD100

Product Description

The SECO 00059680 is a carbide replaceable tip drill from the SD100 series, designed for high-performance drilling in demanding metal-cutting applications. The drill features a solid carbide tip with a TiAlN PVD coating, which provides heat resistance and extended tool life when cutting stainless steel and other difficult materials. The included angle is 140 degrees, and the tip height is 12.60mm (approximately 0.496 inches). Through-coolant capability delivers cutting fluid directly to the cutting edge, improving chip evacuation and reducing heat buildup at depth. This tooling is used by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

The 00059680 is suited for drilling stainless steel and other M-class workpiece materials in CNC machining centers and drill presses equipped with through-spindle coolant. The SD100 replaceable tip system allows the carbide tip to be indexed or swapped without removing the drill body from the machine, reducing downtime during production runs. The M insert geometry is selected for its edge preparation and chip-forming characteristics on stainless and similar materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide tip with TiAlN PVD coating for heat and wear resistance
• 140-degree included angle for controlled entry and reduced thrust force
• Through-coolant design channels fluid directly to the cutting zone
• Replaceable tip design minimizes body changes and reduces tooling cost per hole
• M insert geometry optimized for stainless steel and similar workpiece materials
• SD100 series platform for consistent body and tip interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed for use with SECO SD100 series replaceable tip drill bodies. Compatible with machines equipped with through-spindle coolant. Primary workpiece material designation is M-class, corresponding to stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine in a full stop condition and all energy sources locked out per facility LOTO procedures. Ensure the drill body bore and tip seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the replaceable tip. Follow the tool manufacturer torque guidance for tip clamping screws using calibrated tooling. Verify through-coolant connections and pressure settings before resuming production.
