Indexable drill U408TM – 17 mm diameter, for SOMT 0602 inserts (Teknik Makina)

The Indexable drill U408TM is an indexable drill body engineered for precision holemaking in CNC machining operations, designed to accept SOMT 0602 indexable inserts and to provide consistent results across repeat production runs.

• 17 mm diameter for standard hole sizes
• Compatible with SOMT 0602 indexable inserts
• 25 mm shank for secure machine clamping
• 68 mm cutting length, 146 mm overall length

Consistent holes through indexable-insert technology

Indexable-insert drilling offers a clear economic advantage for medium- to high-volume production: the cutting edge is replaced, not the whole tool. The tool body is built for SOMT 0602 inserts, allowing predictable tool life and fast edge changes. With a nominal 17 mm diameter the system suits common holemaking tasks while the replaceable inserts deliver repeatable geometry and simplified inventory management, reducing per-hole cost compared with solid-tool alternatives.

Secure clamping and reduced setup time

A robust 25 mm shank and a 56 mm clamping length provide stable seating in standard tool holders and reduce the risk of runout. Stable clamping translates directly into better surface finish and longer insert life. The comparatively lightweight body (approx. 0.338 kg) eases handling during tool changes; the result is quicker set-up cycles on the machine and less unproductive time between batches.

Geometry and dimensions that support deeper operations

The tool’s 68 mm cutting length combined with a 146 mm overall length means the body can reach moderate depths while remaining compact enough for rigid setups. Cutting length defines the maximum effective engagement of the indexable insert; selecting an appropriate insert grade and setting the correct feed and speed will maintain cutting performance throughout the intended penetration depth. These dimensions make the drill body suitable for stacked part production where predictable axial reach is essential.

Practical advantages in the workshop

The compatibility with Taegutec-style inserts provides access to a wide choice of grades for different cutting conditions and materials. As an indexable drill body, the U408TM helps to lower tooling logistics by standardising on a single insert type (SOMT 0602) across several drill diameters where possible, facilitating tool change routines and cutting-parameter optimisation. The result is improved process reliability and more efficient planning for maintenance and inserts procurement.

FAQ

What insert type does the tool use?
The tool is designed for SOMT 0602 indexable inserts; the U408TM accepts this insert format for straightforward edge replacement.

What is the nominal drilling diameter offered?
The drilling diameter is 17 mm, which is the nominal size for this indexable drill body and the basis for insert selection.

Which shank diameter is required for clamping?
The tool features a 25 mm shank; a matching holder or chuck with adequate clamping surface is recommended to ensure stability.

How deep can the tool cut effectively?
The effective cutting length is 68 mm; this specifies the maximum engagement length for the insert before the body’s geometry limits penetration depth.

Is the U408TM compatible with Taegutec inserts?
Yes, the U408TM is compatible with Taegutec-style inserts of the SOMT 0602 designation and is suitable for setups using those grades and geometries.
