Seco 02445818 Replaceable-tip Drill 12.5-12.99mm SD100

Product Description

The SECO 02445818 is a replaceable-tip drill designed for precision holemaking in metal and other machinable materials. Built on the SD101 platform, it accepts SD100 insert tips and delivers consistent hole diameters ranging from 12.50 mm (0.4921 inches) to 12.99 mm (0.5114 inches). The drill features a Weldon flat shank measuring 5/8 inch (0.6250 inches) for secure tool-holder engagement, an overall length of 3.795 inches, and integrated through-coolant capability to manage heat and chip evacuation at the cutting zone. This tool is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

The 02445818 is suited for drilling applications requiring controlled diameters in the 12.50 mm to 12.99 mm range. The replaceable-tip design reduces tooling cost by allowing insert changes without replacing the full drill body. Through-coolant delivery supports higher feed rates and extends insert life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The maximum drill depth is 0.79 inches, making it appropriate for shallow-to-moderate depth holemaking operations where diameter accuracy and surface finish matter. The SD101 toolholder style is compatible with standard Weldon flat shank holders found on most machining centers and drill presses.

Key Features

• Replaceable SD100 insert tips allow fast cutting-edge changes without discarding the drill body
• Through-coolant design (ISO 9766) improves chip evacuation and extends tool life
• Weldon flat shank (0.6250 inches diameter) provides positive anti-rotation engagement in standard holders
• Covers drill diameter range of 12.50 mm to 12.99 mm in a single body
• Overall length of 3.795 inches with a body length of 1.906 inches for rigid setup
• SD101 series toolholder style for consistent, repeatable insert seating

Compatibility

Designed for use with SD100 series replaceable drill inserts in SD101 series toolholders. Requires a standard 5/8 inch Weldon flat shank tool holder. No additional compatible model numbers were specified in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Before changing inserts or mounting the drill body, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an appropriate safe state. Secure the Weldon flat shank in a matched holder using the set screw against the flat to prevent rotation under load. Verify through-coolant port alignment with the holder before tightening, and confirm insert seating per the insert manufacturer instructions before initiating a cut.
