Sumitomo 2A00W26 Indexable Insert Drill 11/16 in 3xd

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 2A00W26 is a WDX-series indexable insert drill designed for precision hole-making in metal cutting applications. It accepts two WDXT-style inserts and produces holes at 11/16 inches (0.6875 inches) in diameter with a maximum drill depth of 2.179 inches, corresponding to a 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio. The straight cylindrical shank measures 1 inch in diameter, and the tool body is constructed from steel. Coolant-through capability is standard, fed via a 1/4 NPT coolant hole thread, making this drill well suited for sustained production drilling where heat management is critical. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and CNC machine operators are the primary installers and users of this tool.

This drill is intended for general-purpose drilling operations in a CNC machining center or manual milling machine equipped with an appropriate tool holder sized for a 1-inch straight shank. The 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio makes it appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole drilling in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous workpiece materials. Its WDX-series design accepts WDXT 052504 inserts, allowing quick edge indexing without removing the body from the spindle.

Compatibility

Designed for use with WDXT 052504 inserts in the WDX drill series. Requires a tool holder or spindle accepting a 1-inch straight cylindrical shank. Consult machine and holder specifications before installation to confirm runout tolerances and clamping requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician familiar with indexable tooling. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the tool or indexing inserts. Verify shank seating and torque the retention screw per the machine manufacturer's toolholder specification. Confirm coolant line connections at the 1/4 NPT port are secure and leak-free before initiating a cutting cycle.
