Sumitomo 2A00W2M Indexable Insert Drill 15/16 in 3xd

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 2A00W2M is a 15/16 inch (0.9375 inches) diameter indexable insert drill from the SumiDrill series, designed for general-purpose drilling applications in metal cutting environments. The body accepts two WDXT-style inserts and delivers a maximum drill depth of 2.931 inches, representing a 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio. The tool is constructed from steel and features a 1-1/4 inch whistle notch shank for secure machine tool holding. Coolant-through capability is supported via a 1/4 NPT coolant hole, making this drill suitable for production drilling where heat management and chip evacuation are priorities. Machinists and toolroom professionals working on CNC machining centers and lathes are the primary users of this toolholder-style indexable drill body.

The 2A00W2M is suited for general-purpose hole-making operations where indexable insert tooling is preferred over solid carbide or high-speed steel drills. The 3xD depth range and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with standard vertical machining centers and horizontal boring applications. The whistle notch shank provides positive drive and is commonly used in toolholding systems requiring anti-pullout engagement. This drill body is intended for use in production shops, job shops, and toolrooms running steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the whistle notch shank is properly seated and secured in the toolholder before spindle engagement. Confirm insert seating and screw torque per the insert manufacturer guidelines before commencing a cut. Verify coolant line connection at the 1/4 NPT port is leak-free before running coolant-through operation.
