Indexable Insert Drill Body U18TM – Ø 11.5 mm, 16 mm shank (Teknik Makina)

An Indexable Insert Drill Body (Vollbohrer) designed for efficient holemaking in metalworking where fast insert replacement and consistent hole quality are required

• Indexable design for XCMT 060204 inserts
• Diameter 11.5 mm for standard hole sizes
• 35 mm effective cutting length
• 16 mm shank for secure clamping
• Overall length 92 mm, lightweight 0.113 kg

Consistent hole quality through an insert system

The indexable insert concept ensures stable machining results without full-tool replacement. With a nominal Ø 11.5 mm diameter and a cutting length of 35 mm, the tool body maintains repeatable cutting geometry across insert changes. The use of standard XCMT 060204 inserts (Korloy-compatible) means cutting edges can be swapped quickly, preserving bore tolerances and reducing scrap. This design is particularly effective where batch-to-batch consistency and predictable wear management are priorities, enabling controlled tool costs and reliable cycle times.

Secure clamping and compact design for workshop use

A robust 16 mm shank and a defined shank length of 45 mm provide secure seating in holders and adaptors, limiting runout and vibration during operation. The compact overall length of 92 mm and low mass (approx. 0.113 kg) reduce centrifugal loading at higher spindle speeds and simplify handling in manual set-up or machine changeovers. These characteristics support stable surface finish and dimensional control, making the component suitable for demanding production sequences that benefit from reduced set-up times.

Faster servicing and lower tooling inventory

Replacing indexable inserts is faster than regrinding or replacing complete solid-drill tools; the practical consequence is less downtime and a smaller tooling inventory. The compatibility with Korloy inserts helps shops standardise on widely available cutting grades and geometries, streamlining procurement and ensuring rapid availability of spare edges. Together, these factors translate into measurable process efficiency and a lower total cost of ownership for repetitive holemaking tasks.

Integration into machining processes and handling notes

The drill body is intended for use as an insert-based drilling solution in industrial and workshop environments where modular tooling is preferred. The tool’s geometry supports straightforward clamping and predictable tool life when paired with appropriate inserts and machining parameters. Where precise hole diameters are required, the modular approach allows fine-tuning of cutting edge selection without changing the tool body, aiding both prototype work and steady production runs.
