Kennametal 6372023 Kentip Fs Indexable Drill Body 5xd

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6372023 is a KenTIP FS series indexable drill body with a straight cylindrical shank, designed for use with interchangeable carbide drill tips in metal-cutting applications. The body accepts KTFS-style toolholder inserts and features through-coolant capability to extend tool life and improve chip evacuation at depth. With a 5xD drill depth-to-diameter ratio and a 7/16 inch shank diameter, this body suits production drilling operations where consistent depth and precision bore quality are required. It is installed by machinists and toolroom professionals working on CNC machining centers and drilling equipment.

This indexable drill body is suited for production environments running ferrous and non-ferrous materials where repeatable hole quality and tooling economy are priorities. The KenTIP FS platform allows tip changes without removing the body from the spindle, reducing changeover time in high-volume operations. The straight cylindrical shank provides direct clamping in standard drill chucks or collet systems. Shops running medium to large batch sizes on vertical or horizontal machining centers are the primary users of this tooling style.

Key Features

• 5xD depth-to-diameter ratio supports deeper hole drilling in a single pass
• Through-coolant design delivers cutting fluid directly to the tip for improved chip removal and heat management
• KTFS toolholder style accepts KenTIP FS indexable drill tips for fast tip replacement
• Straight cylindrical shank diameter of 7/16 inch fits standard collet and chuck tooling systems
• Flute length of 64.70 mm supports chip clearance over the full drilling depth

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and production component for machining setups using the KENNAMETAL KenTIP FS indexable drilling system with KTFS-style toolholders.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the drill body. Ensure the shank seating surface and collet or chuck bore are clean and free of chips before clamping. Follow the machine tool manufacturer torque specifications for the clamping system in use; do not over-torque collet nuts.
