Sumitomo 5L00W0T Replaceable-tip Drill 19.51-20.5mm

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 5L00W0T is a replaceable-tip drill designed for precision hole-making operations in metal-cutting environments. Built on the SMD series platform, it accepts SMDT-style inserts and features through-coolant capability to manage heat and chip evacuation during drilling. The shank measures 1 inch in diameter with a whistle notch configuration for secure toolholder retention. Maximum drill depth reaches 2.834 inches, and the overall length is 6.102 inches. The steel body is intended for use with SMDH-style toolholders. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC machine operators in production and job-shop settings.

The 5L00W0T is suited for drilling operations requiring a bore diameter in the range of 19.51 to 20.5 mm (0.7681 to 0.8070 inches decimal). The 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio makes it appropriate for moderate-depth holes in a variety of workpiece materials. Through-coolant delivery supports higher feed rates and extended insert life. Typical applications include structural components, machine parts, and precision bores where replaceable-tip tooling reduces changeover time compared to solid carbide alternatives.

Key Features

• Accepts SMDT replaceable-tip inserts for fast tip changes without removing the body from the toolholder
• Through-coolant design channels coolant directly to the cutting zone for improved chip evacuation and insert life
• Whistle notch shank provides positive drive and prevents axial pullout in SMDH-compatible holders
• 3xD drill depth ratio supports moderate-depth bores up to 2.834 inches maximum depth
• SMD series body constructed from steel for rigidity and durability in high-production environments
• Diameter range of 19.51 to 20.5 mm accommodates size variation within a single tool body

Compatibility

Compatible with SMDT-style replaceable-tip inserts and SMDH-style toolholders. Designed for use in machine spindles accepting a 1-inch whistle notch shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the tool body. Secure the whistle notch shank fully into the toolholder and verify clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before operation. Confirm through-coolant passages are clear and coolant pressure is within the machine and insert manufacturer recommendations prior to running.
