Sumitomo 5L00W1M Replaceable-tip Drill 28.81-29.8mm

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 5L00W1M is a replaceable-tip drill body designed for precision hole-making in metalworking and machining applications. Built from steel and part of the SMD series, it accepts SMDT-style inserts to enable fast tip changes without removing the body from the toolholder. The drill covers a diameter range of 28.81 mm to 29.80 mm (1.1343 to 1.1732 inches) and reaches a maximum drill depth of 3.937 inches at a 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio. Overall length is 7.283 inches. Through-coolant capability supports chip evacuation and tool life at higher feed rates.

This drill body is suited for production drilling on CNC machining centers and turning centers in both job-shop and high-volume manufacturing environments. The 1-1/4 inch whistle notch shank mounts to SMDH-style toolholders, making it a direct fit for shops already running the SMD platform. Typical applications include structural steel, alloy steel, and general ferrous workpiece drilling where repeatable hole diameter and depth control are required.

Key Features

• Replaceable SMDT insert tips eliminate the need to replace the full drill body on edge wear
• Through-coolant design channels fluid directly to the cutting zone for improved chip flushing and thermal control
• Diameter range of 28.81 mm to 29.80 mm covers a span of metric near-30 mm bore requirements
• 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio with 3.937 inch maximum drill depth suits the majority of through-hole and blind-hole production tasks
• 1-1/4 inch whistle notch shank provides positive drive and accurate axial positioning in SMDH holders
• Steel body construction balances rigidity and weight for stable drilling at CNC spindle speeds

Compatibility

Compatible with SMDT-style replaceable inserts and SMDH-series toolholders. Designed for use within the SMD platform drill system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the drill body from the toolholder. Seat the whistle notch shank fully into the SMDH holder and secure per the toolholder manufacturer's clamping procedure before engaging the workpiece. Confirm through-coolant passages are clear and coolant supply is connected before running at operational feed and speed parameters.
