Kennametal 6371062 Replaceable Drill Tip 0.4567 in KCMS15

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6371062 is a replaceable drill tip designed for use with compatible KTFS-series modular drill bodies. It features a 0.4567-inch (11.60 mm) cutting diameter and is manufactured to Grade KCMS15, a carbide substrate suited for demanding metal-cutting applications. The tip carries an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating applied via PVD (physical vapor deposition), which improves heat resistance and tool life at elevated cutting speeds. The HPL insert geometry and 140-degree included angle support aggressive chip formation and reliable hole entry. Install seat size is M. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators are the primary users of this consumable cutting tool component.

This replaceable drill tip fits into KTFS-series modular drill holders that accept an M-size insert seat. It is suited for drilling operations in ferrous metals, alloy steels, and other materials where AlTiN coating provides a thermal and wear advantage. Typical applications include production machining environments using CNC machining centers or CNC lathes with live tooling. The single-tip design allows the cutting end to be replaced without discarding the entire drill body, reducing per-hole tooling cost in high-volume drilling operations.

Key Features

• 0.4567-inch (11.60 mm) cutting diameter in KTFS series modular format
• Grade KCMS15 carbide substrate for wear resistance in metal-cutting applications
• AlTiN coating via PVD process for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life
• HPL insert geometry with 140-degree included angle for reliable chip formation and entry stability
• M-size insert seat for direct interchange with compatible KTFS drill bodies
• Replaceable-tip design reduces tooling cost versus indexing or discarding full drill assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with KTFS-series modular drill holders equipped with an M-size insert seat that accepts the KTFST11600HPLM tip style.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the spindle fully stopped and the machine locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. The insert seat should be cleaned and inspected for debris or damage before seating the new tip. Follow the drill body manufacturer's torque specifications for the clamping screw — do not overtighten, as this can damage the seat or tip. Verify runout after installation before returning the tool to production.
