Kennametal 6372028 Kentip Fs Indexable Drill Body

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6372028 is a straight-shank indexable drill body from the KenTIP FS series, designed for use with interchangeable carbide drill tips in precision metalcutting applications. The body features a 1/2-inch straight-cylindrical shank, a flute length of 78.90 mm, and a shank length of 45.47 mm, yielding an overall length of 127 mm. The 5xD depth-to-diameter ratio makes it suited for drilling operations that require moderate-depth bores with consistent chip evacuation. Coolant-through capability supports higher cutting speeds and extended tip life. This body is installed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and CNC operators working in production machining environments.

The 6372028 drill body is used in CNC machining centers and drill presses where modular indexable tooling systems are preferred over solid carbide or brazed-tip drills. The KTFS toolholder style interfaces directly with KenTIP FS replaceable carbide tips, allowing tip changes without removing the body from the spindle. This configuration is common in high-volume production shops machining steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. It is appropriate for both horizontal and vertical machining center setups where coolant delivery through the spindle is available.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the drill body. Ensure the shank bore and chuck or collet are clean and free of chips before clamping. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and tooling manufacturer guidelines for clamping torque and coolant pressure settings.
