U145TM indexable drill body — 17.5 mm, 127 mm overall (Teknik Makina)

The U145TM is an indexable drill body designed for medium-hole production and workshop milling applications, combining a compact overall length with a long cutting reach for stable, repeatable holemaking

• Indexable drill body for WCM-0302 inserts
• 17.5 mm diameter for medium-sized holes
• 51 mm effective cutting length
• 25 mm shank for stable toolholding

Consistent hole quality and predictable cycle times

The indexable design of this tool delivers repeatable hole geometry across production batches. With a 17.5 mm diameter and a 51 mm cutting length, the body is engineered to maintain concentricity and reduce runout when clamped correctly in a compatible holder. The combination of a substantial 25 mm shank and a 56 mm shank length provides stable toolholding, which lowers vibration and results in improved surface finishes and reduced burr formation. For operations that prioritise throughput, this translates into fewer tool changes and more predictable machining cycles.

Efficient insert changes and lower running costs

Designed for use with WCM-0302 inserts from Korloy, the system enables fast, secure insert indexing that reduces downtime. Indexable cutters keep the body in service longer while only the insert needs replacement, offering a clear cost-per-hole advantage versus solid carbide solutions in medium-diameter work. The insert coupling and geometry are optimised for chip control and consistent cutting engagement, which helps to extend insert life under recommended cutting parameters. Where frequent regrinds or insert swaps are standard, the result is measurable savings and less tooling inventory to manage.

Integration with workshop toolholding and applications

The drilling body is suited to a broad range of production setups where an indexable insert system is preferred. Compatibility with Korloy insert specifications ensures sourcing of replacement inserts is straightforward. The overall length of 127 mm keeps the assembly compact for most turret and spindle arrangements while still providing the necessary reach for through and blind-hole operations. The moderately light mass (0.336 kg) assists in smooth spindle dynamics, particularly on mid-range machines, and the design supports effective chip evacuation when used with appropriate coolant or air blast arrangements.
