U060TM 8 mm drill body — for XC-- 040104 indexable inserts, 56 mm overall length (Teknik Makina)

An U060TM 8 mm drill body engineered to carry XC-- 040104 indexable inserts, providing a compact tooling solution for precision drilling in machining centres

• 8 mm diameter for accurate guidance
• Compatible with XC-- 040104 indexable inserts
• 56 mm overall length for compact tooling
• 38 mm shank length for secure mounting

Consistent, repeatable holemaking that preserves process stability

The compact tool geometry is designed for stable chip formation and predictable tool life. With an 8 mm nominal diameter and an 18 mm cutting length, the body limits overhang and reduces deflection, which supports tighter tolerances and improved first-pass accuracy. This configuration is particularly beneficial in high-mix production where repeatability matters: shorter cutting engagement reduces vibration and makes clamping forces more predictable, which in turn lowers scrap rates and machine rework.

Fast changeovers and rigid mounting to keep cycle times low

A substantial 38 mm shank length ensures a secure fit in standard tool holders and reduces the need for repeated adjustments. The light overall weight (about 0.056 kg) and compact 56 mm overall length help to keep the centre of mass close to the spindle, improving balance and contributing to faster tool changes in automated setups. The result is reduced downtime and a simpler set-up routine, allowing machining centres to return to production more quickly after maintenance or tool replacement.

Indexable inserts deliver flexibility and lower operating costs

Designed for indexable inserts, the body accepts the XC-- 040104 insert family so that only the cutting insert is replaced when wear occurs, not the entire tool. This approach reduces consumable costs and minimises inventory complexity compared with solid-carbide alternatives. The compatibility with Ceratizit-specified inserts allows easy sourcing of replacement cutters and supports consistent cutting performance across batches — a practical choice where predictable economics and rapid return-to-cut are priorities.

Reliable supply and integration into workshop workflows

Manufactured by Teknik Makina and distributed through Metav’s network, the tool body integrates into established procurement and workshop processes. Metav’s logistics and selection reduce supplier overhead and ensure access to matching inserts and holders, helping to maintain production continuity. For buyers seeking a compact, insert-based drilling solution that balances precision and operational economy, this configuration aligns well with modern machining workflows and tool-management systems.

FAQ

Which inserts fit this drill body?
The body is designed to accept XC-- 040104 indexable inserts; replacements from Ceratizit that conform to that designation are suitable for the U060TM tool body.

What are the overall and cutting lengths?
Overall length is 56 mm and the cutting length is 18 mm, values which limit overhang and control cutting engagement for improved hole accuracy.

Is the shank suitable for standard tool holders?
The 38 mm shank length provides a secure clamping length for common holders and reduces the need for extended clamping adapters in compact setups.

Can this tool be used across different CNC machines?
The body is intended for indexable-insert drilling operations in machining centres and can be integrated where holder interfaces match the tool shank and rigidity requirements.

What is the advantage of using an insert body versus a solid drill?
Indexable systems allow replacement of only the worn insert, lowering consumable costs and enabling rapid changeovers compared with replacing whole solid-carbide drills.
