Sumitomo 5KHZ240 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 22mm ACX80

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 5KHZ240 is a carbide replaceable tip drill in the SMD series, designed for high-performance hole-making in a wide range of workpiece materials. The tip is manufactured from solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiAlCr and TiSi dual-layer coating finish, offering wear resistance across universal material classifications including ferrous, stainless, cast iron, and superalloy applications. The drill features a 22mm cutting diameter and a 140-degree included point angle, making it suited for general-purpose drilling where consistent hole quality and tool life are priorities. Through-coolant capability delivers cutting fluid directly to the cutting edge, controlling heat and chip evacuation at depth.

This replaceable tip drill is used in CNC machining centers and turning centers across job shop, aerospace, automotive, and general metalworking environments. The MEL insert geometry is paired with the ACX80 grade, a combination optimized for demanding cutting conditions across the P, M, K, and S ISO material classifications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators handling production drilling work in ferrous and exotic alloys are the primary installers of this tooling system.

Key Features

• Solid carbide replaceable tip in ACX80 grade for universal material compatibility
• PVD-applied TiAlCr and TiSi coating provides thermal and wear resistance
• 140-degree included point angle suits a wide range of drilling applications
• Through-coolant design supports deep-hole drilling and chip evacuation
• MEL insert geometry engineered for stable, accurate hole production
• SMD series modular system allows tip replacement without discarding the drill body

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replaceable tip for SUMITOMO SMD series drill bodies accepting the MEL geometry tip interface. Confirm body bore diameter and tip interface designation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation of replaceable carbide drill tips should be performed by qualified machinists following the tool manufacturer torque and seating procedures for the SMD body. Ensure the drill body bore and tip seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before pressing or threading the tip into position. Through-coolant systems must be purged and verified for flow before running at full cutting parameters. Follow machine tool builder and cutting tool manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed rate selection.
