Sumitomo 5L00W0E Replaceable-tip Drill 15.51-16.5mm

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 5L00W0E is a replaceable-tip drill body designed for precision hole-making in metal and industrial materials. Built on the SMD series platform, it accepts SMDT-style inserts and covers a drilling diameter range of 15.51 mm to 16.5 mm (0.6106 to 0.6496 decimal inch). The drill body is constructed from steel and features a 3/4-inch whistle notch shank for secure toolholder mounting. With a maximum drill depth of 3.582 inches and a drill depth-to-diameter ratio of 5xD, this tool is suited for moderate-depth bore operations where insert interchangeability and through-coolant delivery are required. Through-coolant capability helps clear chips and control heat at the cutting zone during production drilling cycles.

The 5L00W0E is intended for use in CNC machining centers and turning centers where SMDH-style toolholders are used. It is applicable across job shop and production environments handling ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The 5xD depth ratio makes it a practical choice for drilling through-holes and blind holes in a range of part sizes where the 15.51 to 16.5 mm diameter range is required. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in metalworking facilities are the primary installers and users of this tooling.

Key Features

• Diameter range of 15.51 mm to 16.5 mm (0.6106 to 0.6496 inches) for flexible bore sizing with compatible SMDT inserts
• 5xD drill depth-to-diameter ratio supports maximum drill depth of 3.582 inches
• Through-coolant design channels fluid directly to the cutting edge for heat management and chip evacuation
• 3/4-inch whistle notch shank provides positive seating in SMDH toolholders
• Steel body construction for rigidity and durability in repetitive drilling applications
• Overall length of 6.496 inches with a flute and body length of 4.496 inches for reach in deeper setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with SMDT-style replaceable drill tip inserts and SMDH-series toolholders as part of the SUMITOMO SMD drill system.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the machine placed in a safe lockout state before inserting or removing the drill body from the toolholder. Seat the whistle notch shank fully into the SMDH toolholder and confirm clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer guidelines before operation. Verify through-coolant connections are clear and that the correct SMDT insert is seated and secured before initiating a cutting cycle.
