U188TM indexable drill body — 42 mm diameter, 126 mm cutting length (Teknik Makina)

The U188TM indexable drill body is engineered for production drilling where repeatability and quick insert changes are essential, suitable for CNC machining environments using Korloy WCM‑06T3 inserts

*Indexable drill body for insert WCM-06T3
*Ø 42 mm effective diameter
*126 mm cutting length for deep holes
*32 mm shank with 235 mm overall length

Stable heavy-duty cutting for consistent cycle times

The design focuses on delivering stable cutting performance in repetitive drilling operations. With an effective diameter of 42 mm and a cutting length of 126 mm, the tool enables deeper holes without compromising rigidity. The solid construction reduces vibration, which in turn helps to maintain hole geometry and surface quality over long production runs. This stability translates into predictable cycle times and fewer rejected parts, supporting efficient workflow in a production setting.

Quick insert changes for lower downtime and cost control

Compatibility with WCM‑06T3 indexable inserts from Korloy shortens maintenance intervals and lowers tooling costs. The insert system allows rapid replacement of cutting edges without the need to regrind or replace the whole tool, keeping machines productive. For purchasers, this means a favourable cost‑per‑hole calculation: worn edges are swapped out quickly, minimising machine idle time and simplifying tool inventory management in the workshop.

Secure clamping and workshop integration

A 32 mm shank and an overall length of 235 mm provide a robust interface for most toolholders and adaptors used in machining centres. The drill body includes a 58 mm head receptacle (for the cutting assembly), which helps ensure correct seating and repeatable positioning of the inserts. The unit’s mass (approx. 1.646 kg) contributes to dampening during cutting, improving concentricity and supporting consistent results across batches.

Application guidance and suitability for production use

This indexable tool is intended for industrial drilling tasks in production environments where insert systems are preferred for their economy and speed of service. The geometry and cut length suit standard deep‑drilling operations on workpieces where an indexable solution is chosen to balance performance and running costs. For integration into an existing tool pool, the compatibility with Korloy inserts simplifies procurement and matching with commonly used grades and geometries.

FAQ

What insert type does this drill body use?
The U188TM drill body is designed for WCM‑06T3 indexable inserts, allowing quick replacement of cutting edges.

Which insert manufacturers are compatible?
Compatibility is confirmed for Korloy inserts with the specified WCM‑06T3 geometry for reliable fit and performance.

Is the shank size suitable for standard toolholders?
Yes, the component has a 32 mm shank, which matches common toolholders used in machining centres and reduces the need for special adaptors.

What is the maximum cutting length available on the tool?
The tool provides a 126 mm cutting length, enabling productive deep‑hole drilling without compromising stability.

How does the U188TM reduce downtime in production?
By using indexable inserts, the U188TM allows rapid edge replacement rather than full tool replacement or regrinding, cutting maintenance time and lowering operating costs.
