Sumitomo 5L00W15 Replaceable-tip Drill 23.81-24.80mm 5xd

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 5L00W15 is a replaceable-tip drill body engineered for high-productivity hole-making in metal cutting applications. Part of the SMD series, this tool accepts SMDT inserts and delivers a drill depth-to-diameter ratio of 5xD, supporting maximum drill depths up to 5.315 inches. The 1-inch Weldon Flat shank provides positive rotational drive in compatible toolholders. Through-coolant capability channels cutting fluid directly to the tip for effective chip evacuation and heat control at depth. Overall length is 8.661 inches with a flute and body length of 6.411 inches. The tool body is constructed of steel. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments are the primary users of this style of drill.

The SUMITOMO 5L00W15 suits applications requiring consistent bore diameters in the 23.81 to 24.80 mm range (0.9374 to 0.9764 decimal inch). The 5xD depth ratio makes it well suited for deeper holes where solid carbide drills are cost-prohibitive or where replaceable-tip economics are preferred. Compatible toolholder style is SMDH. This drill body is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers and turning centers with through-spindle coolant capability, common in aerospace, automotive, and general metalworking production environments.

Key Features

• Replaceable SMDT insert tip eliminates the need to replace the entire drill body on tip wear
• 5xD drill depth ratio supports holes up to 5.315 inches deep without extended-reach tooling
• Through-coolant design directs coolant to the cutting zone for chip evacuation and thermal management
• Weldon Flat shank provides positive torque transmission and accurate tool positioning in SMDH-style holders
• Steel body construction balances rigidity and weight across the 8.661-inch overall length
• Diameter range of 23.81 to 24.80 mm accommodates a span of finish bore sizes with a single body

Compatibility

Designed for use with SMDT compatible insert tips and SMDH series toolholders. Accepts a 1-inch Weldon Flat shank connection. No additional specific model compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine in a locked-out, zero-energy state before any toolholder work is performed. Ensure the Weldon Flat shank is fully seated in the SMDH-style holder and the set screw is tightened against the flat per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify through-coolant passages are clear and that coolant pressure at the spindle is adequate for the depth being drilled before initiating a cycle. Insert tip seating and torque should follow SUMITOMO insert installation guidelines for the SMDT insert style.
