Indexable Insert Drill Body U20TM — 12 mm diameter, 16 mm shank (Teknik Makina)

A robust Indexable Insert Drill Body U20TM engineered for precision holemaking with Korloy XCMT 060204 indexable inserts in metalworking and toolroom applications.

• 12 mm cutting diameter
• 36 mm effective cutting length
• 16 mm precision shank
• Compatible with Korloy XCMT 060204

Accuracy and predictable hole quality for production runs

The design delivers a consistent holemaking solution where repeatability matters. With a 12 mm diameter and an overall length of 94 mm, the tool body is dimensioned for a wide range of machining setups while retaining a compact footprint. The effective cutting length of 36 mm provides a well-defined engagement zone which helps stabilise the cutting forces; this stability is translated into more uniform hole diameters and reduced rework rates. Where tight tolerances are required, the use of an insert system ensures that cutting geometry can be restored precisely after each index or replacement.

Indexable inserts for rapid service and lower running costs

Compatibility with XCMT 060204 indexable inserts from Korloy gives shops a clear economic advantage: the cutting edge can be renewed by indexing or replacing the insert rather than regrinding the whole tool, reducing downtime and inventory complexity. The modular concept is particularly effective for mixed-batch production or when multiple grades of carbide are needed. The system is suited to pragmatic workshop logistics because different insert grades can be stocked independently from the body, enabling fast adaptation to varying materials and machining conditions.

Stable clamping and toolholder integration

A 16 mm shank with a 45 mm shank length ensures secure clamping in standard holders, which reduces vibration and improves surface finish. The relatively light mass (approx. 0.114 kg) also aids spindle balance for shorter overhangs, while the overall construction is optimised to transfer torque and resist deflection where drilling depth is moderate. These characteristics mean the drill body is readily integrated into existing toolholders and collet systems without elaborate fixturing, supporting efficient changeovers on the shopfloor.

Workshop suitability and operational overview

The component is supplied as a drill body compatible with established insert formats and is identified under SKU U20TM. Its layout supports conventional holemaking tasks across general steelworking and similar applications where indexable insert tooling is preferred for productivity and maintainability. Technical teams will appreciate that the modular approach simplifies maintenance planning and sharpens cost-per-hole calculation, enabling clearer decisions about tooling lifecycle and replacement strategy. For specification checks or to confirm fitment with a particular machine setup, further technical details can be provided.

FAQ

Which insert type fits this drill body?
The drill body accepts XCMT 060204 indexable inserts; it is specified for use with Korloy insert geometry.

What shank size is required for clamping?
A 16 mm shank diameter and a 45 mm shank length are specified for stable clamping of the U20TM body.

What hole depth can be achieved reliably?
The effective cutting length is 36 mm, which defines the recommended engagement length for consistent drilling performance.

Is the drill body suitable for general steelworking?
Yes — the modular insert concept and the mechanical design of the U20TM make it well suited for typical steel machining where indexable tooling is preferred.

How much does the tool weigh and how does that affect balance?
The tool weight is approx. 0.114 kg; the relatively low mass helps maintain spindle balance at modest overhangs and supports smoother operation.
