Kennametal 4159224 Replaceable Drill Tip KCP15 Kentip

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 4159224 is a replaceable drill tip designed for use with modular KenTIP drill bodies in precision metal-cutting applications. This tip features a 0.6102-inch (15.50 mm) cutting diameter and is manufactured from solid carbide with a KCP15 grade substrate. An AlTiN coating applied via PVD process provides thermal resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The HP insert geometry supports high-performance drilling in a range of workpiece materials. Seat size T ensures proper seating and repeatable indexing in compatible KenTIP holders. Licensed machinists and tooling technicians working in CNC machining environments are the primary installers of this consumable tip.

This replaceable drill tip is suited for production drilling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where consistent hole quality and tool change efficiency are priorities. The modular KenTIP system allows rapid tip replacement at the machine without removing the drill body from the spindle, reducing downtime in high-volume production environments. The 140-degree included angle supports self-centering entry and reduces thrust force compared to conventional drill geometries.

Key Features

• 0.6102-inch (15.50 mm) cutting diameter for precise hole sizing
• Solid carbide construction with KCP15 grade substrate for hardness and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating via PVD process for thermal protection and extended tool life
• HP insert geometry engineered for high-performance drilling applications
• 140-degree included angle promotes self-centering and reduces axial thrust
• Insert seat size T provides repeatable, secure seating in KenTIP drill bodies

Compatibility

Designed for use with KENNAMETAL KenTIP modular drill bodies accepting seat size T replaceable tips in the KTIP1550 style.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trained machinists or CNC tooling technicians. The drill body and spindle must be fully stopped and locked out before tip replacement. Use the designated torque wrench or key specified by the drill body manufacturer to seat the tip correctly — do not overtighten by hand or with improvised tools. Inspect the seat and coolant ports for debris before installing a new tip to ensure full contact and proper coolant flow.
