Sumitomo 5L00W04 Replaceable-tip Drill Smd Series

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 5L00W04 is a steel-body replaceable-tip drill designed for precision hole-making in metal cutting applications. It accepts SMDT insert tips and features through-coolant capability to manage heat and chip evacuation at the cutting zone. The drill covers a diameter range of 12.50 mm to 12.99 mm (0.4921 to 0.5114 inches) with a maximum drill depth of 1.859 inches, making it suited for a 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio. Overall length is 4.334 inches. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 5/8 inch (0.6250 inches) in diameter and 1.875 inches in length, compatible with SMDH-style toolholders. Licensed machinists and tool-room professionals install this drill in CNC machining centers and turning operations.

This drill body is intended for production drilling in shops running ferrous and non-ferrous materials where repeatable hole size and position are critical. The replaceable-tip design reduces downtime compared to regrinding solid drills — the body is retained and only the SMDT insert tip is swapped. It is part of the SMD series, which is built around modular indexable drill systems. Typical applications include general-purpose drilling in milling and machining center setups where through-coolant is available.

Key Features

• Accepts SMDT replaceable insert tips for fast tip changes without removing the body from the holder
• Through-coolant design channels fluid directly to the cutting edge for heat control and chip flushing
• Diameter range of 12.50 mm to 12.99 mm covers a range of close-tolerance bore sizes
• 3xD drill depth ratio with a maximum depth of 1.859 inches suits common through-hole and blind-hole work
• Steel body construction with a 5/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank for rigid setup in SMDH toolholders
• Flute length of 2.459 inches supports chip clearance over the full depth of cut

Compatibility

Designed for use with SMDT-style replaceable insert tips and SMDH-style toolholders in the SMD series modular drill system. Compatible toolholder style is SMDH. No additional model-specific compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before mounting or changing insert tips, de-energize the machine and engage all lockout-tagout procedures per your facility safety program. Secure the shank in an SMDH toolholder to the machine manufacturer's specified retention torque using calibrated tooling — do not estimate clamp force. Verify through-coolant connection and pressure at the spindle before running to ensure proper chip evacuation.
