Sumitomo 5L00W0J Replaceable-tip Drill 16.51-17.5mm Whistle Notch

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 5L00W0J is a replaceable-tip drill designed for precision hole-making in metal cutting and general machining applications. Built on the SMD series platform, it accepts SMDT-style inserts and is constructed from steel for rigid, consistent performance. The drill covers a diameter range of 16.51 mm to 17.50 mm (0.650 to 0.689 inches) and delivers a maximum drill depth of 2.401 inches, placing it in the 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio category. A 3/4 inch whistle notch shank provides secure, concentric clamping in compatible SMDH-style toolholders. Through-coolant capability keeps cutting temperatures controlled and assists with chip evacuation during deep-hole passes.

This tool is suited for CNC machining centers and turning centers where consistent hole diameter, depth accuracy, and high-volume throughput are priorities. The replaceable-tip design reduces tooling cost by allowing insert changes without removing the drill body from the machine. Typical users include machinists and tooling engineers working in job shops, production facilities, and aerospace or automotive component manufacturing environments where steel, cast iron, and similar materials are routinely drilled.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing inserts or mounting the drill body. Confirm the whistle notch shank is seated and clamped to the toolholder manufacturer's specifications before initiating a cut. Verify coolant-through passages are clear and pressurized coolant is active before beginning drilling operations.
