Sumitomo 5L00W0F Replaceable-tip Drill 15.51-16.5mm

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 5L00W0F is a replaceable-tip drill designed for precision hole-making in metal cutting and general drilling applications. Built on the SMD series platform, this drill accepts SMDT-style inserts and features a 3/4 inch whistle notch shank for secure toolholder engagement. It covers a diameter range of 15.51 mm to 16.5 mm (0.6106 to 0.6496 inches) and delivers a maximum drill depth of 2.283 inches, consistent with a 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio. Through-coolant capability supports chip evacuation and thermal management at the cutting zone. The steel body weighs 0.6 pounds and has an overall length of 5.118 inches.

This replaceable-tip drill is suited for production machining environments where consistent hole geometry and insert interchangeability are priorities. It is compatible with SMDH-style toolholders and is used in CNC machining centers and turning centers equipped with driven tooling. Typical applications include structural steel, alloy steel, and general ferrous workpiece drilling where through-coolant delivery is required to maintain tool life and chip control at the specified depth range.

Key Features

• Diameter range of 15.51 mm to 16.5 mm for flexible hole sizing within the SMD series
• Through-coolant design delivers cutting fluid directly to the tip for improved chip flushing and heat reduction
• 3/4 inch whistle notch shank ensures positive drive and axial retention in compatible toolholders
• Replaceable SMDT insert tip eliminates the need to replace the full drill body, reducing tooling cost per hole
• 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio supports a maximum drill depth of 2.283 inches in a single pass
• Steel body construction with a 5.118 inch overall length and 3.118 inch flute length

Compatibility

Designed for use with SMDH-style toolholders and accepts SMDT-style replaceable inserts. Part of the SUMITOMO SMD series platform.

Installation Notes

Installation and tooling changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine in a powered-down, locked-out state per applicable LOTO procedures. Confirm shank seating and whistle notch alignment in the toolholder before torquing the retention screw to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify through-coolant supply lines are clear and delivering adequate pressure before initiating a cut. Do not exceed the published maximum drill depth or the recommended feed and speed parameters for the selected SMDT insert grade.
