Indexable drill body U163TM – Ø 26.5 mm, 78 mm cutting length (Teknik Makina)

The Indexable drill body U163TM is engineered for industrial metalworking where reliable holemaking and rapid insert changes are required, suited to batch production and maintenance operations.

• Robust indexable-drill body design
• Compatible with Korloy WCM-0503 inserts
• Ø 26.5 mm drilling diameter
• Lightweight at 0.497 kg

Consistent hole quality for repeatable production

The U163TM offers a dependable tool platform for demanding drilling tasks. With a Ø 26.5 mm cutting diameter and a 78 mm cutting length, the tool enables deep-hole passes with controlled chip evacuation, reducing cycle times and the need for multiple operations. Designed for indexable tooling, the body accepts the Korloy WCM-0503 insert format, which supports quick replacement and minimal downtime. This combination delivers measurable efficiency gains in repetitive manufacturing and helps maintain process stability on series parts.

Practical mounting and handling to speed up set-up

A precision 25 mm shank and a dedicated shank length of 56 mm ensure secure clamping in common toolholders, so the drill body stays concentric under load and contributes to improved surface finish and roundness. The component’s modest mass of 0.497 kg keeps handling straightforward during tool changes and reduces spindle imbalance risk. Fewer balancing steps and reliable clamping mean faster set-up and less machine idle time, which translates into better utilisation of machining assets.

Built for compatibility and straightforward maintenance

The design centres on replaceable cutting edges rather than full regrinds, making maintenance routines predictable and economical. Using standardised indexable inserts such as the Korloy WCM-0503 simplifies stocking and shortens procurement cycles. The modular approach reduces waste and allows teams to restore cutting performance quickly by swapping inserts, rather than replacing entire tools. For workshops aiming to rationalise tooling inventory, this drill body supports a pragmatic strategy: keep a small set of inserts to cover larger production runs.

Application guidance and expected benefits in daily use

When integrated into a consistent machining routine, the body’s geometry and insert system reduce vibration and tool wear. The practical design supports operations on a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces when paired with the correct insert grade and cutting data. As a result, customers can expect improved hole tolerances and fewer reworks. For engineers seeking predictable output and lower per-hole costs, the U163TM provides a focused tool solution that aligns with industrial productivity goals.
