KSEM™ Modular Drill for the Intermediate Diameter Range

The KSEM modular drill covers drilling applications in a diameter range of 12,5-40mm (.4921 – 1.5748”) up to 10 x D. KSEM enables maximum feed rates for highest productivity.

With four large contact surfaces, the insert pocket seat provides maximum stability, even in challenging conditions like stacked plates, cross holes, and inclined exits.

The central locking screw mechanism ensures secure clamping of the insert, resulting in process safety and long tool life for both the drill body and the insert. Material specific point geometries provide versatility in a wide range of materials.

The KSEM carbide inserts can be reconditioned, further extending the tool life, reducing tool inventory and tool cost. 

HPCCL geometry for cast iron. With corner chamfer for wear protection and smooth hole exit. Four margin lands for perfect hole straightness.

HPG geometry for alloyed steels. With straight cutting edge for maximum stability in short chipping steels and interrupted cuts.

HP geometry for long chipping steels. With curved cutting edge for optimum chip formation.

HPL geometry for stainless steels. The innovative cutting geometry creates two chips in each chip flute for perfect chip evacuation.

PC geometry for piloting in all materials.

FEG geometry for flat bottom hole drilling, and piloting on inclined entries in steels and cast iron.

SPL geometry for low cutting forces in high temperature alloys, and non-ferrous materials. Four-facet geometry with four margin lands for perfect centering and hole straightness.

With four large contact surfaces, the insert pocket seat provides maximum stability, even in challenging conditions like stacked plates, cross holes, and inclined exits.

The KSEM modular drill covers drilling applications in a diameter range
of 12,5-40mm (.4921 – 1.5748”) up to 10 x D.

The central locking screw mechanism ensures secure clamping of the insert, resulting in process safety and long tool life for both the drill body and the insert.

Internal coolant supply directly to the cutting zone, for extended tool life and efficient chip evacuation.
