Teknik Makina indexable drill U305TM — 15.5 mm, for SOMT 0502 inserts

The indexable drill U305TM is an insert drill optimised for medium-depth holemaking, offering a balance of reach and rigidity for production environments where fast insert changes and stable machining are required

• 15.5 mm diameter for medium holes
• Compatible with SOMT 0502 inserts (Taegutec)
• 20 mm cylindrical shank for secure clamping
• 45 mm cutting length for stable chip control

Consistent machining where repeatability matters

The U305TM is engineered as an indexable drill that puts repeatability at the forefront. With a defined 15.5 mm cutting diameter and 45 mm cutting length, the tool delivers predictable contact conditions that reduce variation between holes. The use of indexable inserts means cutting geometry can be restored quickly by inserting a fresh SOMT 0502 insert from Taegutec, preserving hole quality over longer production runs. This supports lean workflows by shortening maintenance intervals and maintaining consistent tolerances.

Faster tool service and predictable operating costs

By accepting a standard insert type, the design simplifies inventory and service routines: cutting edges are renewed rather than the whole tool being replaced. The compatibility with SOMT 0502 inserts allows straightforward sourcing of replacement tips and makes changeovers fast. The result is lower downtime and clearer cost planning for repetitive drilling tasks, while the indexable concept keeps the cutting geometry consistent without specialist regrinding equipment.

Rigidity and secure clamping for stable results

A 20 mm cylindrical shank and 50 mm shank length provide a solid clamping interface, reducing runout and increasing radial stiffness compared with undersized holders. The tool’s 117 mm overall length gives adequate reach for many setups while keeping overhang moderate to limit vibration. At approximately 0.175 kg, it is light enough to be handled easily yet engineered to support stable cutting when properly mounted in a compatible holder — a decisive factor for achieving repeatable roundness and surface finish.

Practical dimensions for workshop integration

The compact geometry of this insert drill suits typical toolholders and machine setups used in series production. With the combination of standard insert form and clearly defined lengths, the tool is simple to specify in CAM and tool lists. The modular nature of the indexable system also allows workshop planners to align spare inserts, toolholders and clamping systems efficiently, helping to streamline procurement and reduce the number of distinct tools kept in stock.

FAQ

Which insert type fits this tool?
The indexable drill U305TM accepts SOMT 0502 style inserts; the tool is specified for that insert form and is compatible with Taegutec-manufactured inserts of the same designation.

What are the key dimensions to consider when setting up the tool?
Important dimensions for the U305TM are 15.5 mm diameter, 45 mm cutting length, 20 mm shank diameter with 50 mm shank length, and an overall length of 117 mm.

How does the shank size affect clamping?
A 20 mm cylindrical shank provides a secure interface in standard holders; the shank diameter and length contribute to rigidity and reduced runout during drilling.

Is this tool suitable for long-reach drilling?
The U305TM has a moderate overall length of 117 mm; it is designed for medium-depth applications where a balance between reach and stiffness is required.

What advantage does an indexable design offer compared with solid tools?
Indexable designs allow rapid replacement of cutting edges, restoring geometry without replacing the whole tool. This supports reduced downtime and consistent hole quality across production batches.
