Indexable drill U918TM — 18 mm diameter, SPMG 0602 compatible (Teknik Makina)

A precision indexable drill designed for CNC applications, offering a compact overall length and standardised insert compatibility to streamline tool changes and reduce downtime

• 18 mm cutting diameter
• 36 mm cutting length
• 25 mm shank diameter
• Compatible with SPMG 0602 inserts

Faster cycle times through standardised insert technology

The indexable insert concept reduces non-productive time: worn tips are replaced instead of regrinding, shortening set-up intervals and improving spindle utilisation. With a 36 mm cutting length and an effective 18 mm diameter, the tool is configured for stable through-hole drilling in common workshop operations. Precision of hole location is supported by the 25 mm shank which offers secure clamping in standard tool holders, while the balanced geometry contributes to consistent chip evacuation and reduced vibration during cuts.

Ready integration with common insert brands for supply-chain efficiency

Compatibility with established insert types simplifies procurement and inventory. The drill is specified for SPMG 0602 inserts and is listed as suitable for brands such as Taegutec and YG-1, enabling use of widely available grades and chipbreakers. The modest 113 mm overall length and a 56 mm shank engagement length make the tool straightforward to programme into existing tooling plans, while the lightweight design of approximately 0.302 kg aids in dynamic applications where tool mass influences cycle stability.

Low-maintenance design that supports production continuity

Designed for quick insert indexing and straightforward clamping, the tool minimises maintenance overhead and keeps lines running. The modular nature of the insert system means stockholding focuses on inserts rather than entire cutters, improving cost control across batches. Traceable identification via SKU U918TM supports ordering and tool management within ERP systems, and the use of standardised insert interfaces helps to maintain machining quality with minimal operator training.
