Indexable Drill Body (U065TM) – Ø18 mm, L97 mm by Teknik Makina

An indexable drill body for metalworking that accepts XC-- 09T304 indexable inserts and is designed for stable, repeatable holemaking in production environments.

Compact Ø18 mm body for reliable drilling performance 56 mm shank for secure clamping and machine compatibility Replaceable inserts for low operating costs and fast service

Consistent productivity through replaceable inserts

The indexable drill body delivers a production-oriented approach by separating the cutting edge from the body: the use of XC-- 09T304 indexable inserts enables fast tool reconditioning without the need to replace the entire tool. With an Ø18 mm diameter and a 40.5 mm cutting length, the system supports a controlled hole depth while keeping tool change times short. This setup reduces downtime and lowers the effective cost per hole in series work, as worn inserts are exchanged quickly and repeatability is preserved through the proven mounting geometry.

Robust fixing and straightforward maintenance

A secure clamping concept is provided by the 56 mm shank length combined with a Torx T15 drive for the fastening screw. The specified screw format M3.5x8.5 ensures consistent insert clamping force and straightforward servicing with standard torque tools. At a mass of 0.356 kg, the tool balances rigidity and handling convenience, which helps maintain spindle load stability on typical CNC drilling operations. These mechanical details translate into fewer runouts and a predictable tool life, supporting tight process control on the shop floor.

Fit-for-purpose geometry for controlled holemaking

With an overall length of 97 mm and a cutting length of 40.5 mm, the tool is optimised for through and mid-depth hole patterns where a compact tool envelope is required. The defined cutting length limits risk of chatter and allows process planners to predict chip evacuation and coolant reach more reliably. Where fixture space is constrained or where short overhang is needed for stiffness, the body’s dimensions offer tangible benefits for cycle-time improvements and hole quality consistency.

Practical advantages for purchasing and workshop integration

The compatible insert designation and the clear mechanical data simplify procurement and inventory management: bodies are stocked separately from inserts, enabling workshops to keep a small selection of bodies while varying insert grades for different materials and cutting conditions. Supplied as a ready-to-fit body with the Torx fastening arrangement, the design supports quick changeovers and straightforward operator training, while the compact specifications facilitate storage and handling in busy production environments.
