Seco 00090335 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 18mm SD100

Product Description

The SECO 00090335 is a carbide replaceable tip drill from the SD100 series, designed for high-productivity hole-making in steel and other P-category workpiece materials. The drill features a solid carbide tip with a TiAlN coating applied via a PVD process, providing heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting environments. The 140-degree included point angle promotes self-centering and reduces thrust force at entry. At 18mm in diameter with a tip height of 14.4mm (0.5669 inches), this drill is engineered for precision drilling applications where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are critical. Through-coolant capability directs fluid directly to the cutting edge for effective chip evacuation and thermal control.

This drill is suited for production drilling operations in ferrous materials, particularly steel, consistent with ISO material classification P. The SD100 replaceable tip system allows worn or damaged tips to be swapped at the machine without replacing the full drill body, making it a cost-effective choice for shops running high-volume drilling cycles. Typical applications include component manufacturing in metalworking, automotive, aerospace, and general machining environments where repeatable hole geometry is required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide replaceable tip construction for extended tool life and economical tip replacement
• TiAlN coating via PVD process for thermal resistance and wear protection
• 140-degree included point angle for self-centering entry and reduced thrust
• Through-coolant design for effective chip evacuation and edge cooling
• 18mm diameter with SD100 series shank compatibility
• Optimized for steel and P-category workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed for use with SECO SD100 series replaceable tip drill bodies that accept the P insert geometry in the 18mm diameter size range.

Installation Notes

Installation and tip replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before changing the drill tip. Verify that the tip is properly seated and torqued to the drill body specification provided in the SECO SD100 tooling documentation before resuming cutting operations. Confirm through-coolant connections are active and flow is unobstructed prior to cutting.
