It features a 9/16-inch straight cylindrical shank, an overall length of 131 mm, and a flute length of 82.40 mm. Through-coolant capability is standard, supporting effective chip evacuation and tool life at elevated cutting speeds. The drill is built to a 5xD depth-to-diameter ratio, making it suitable for medium-depth hole applications across a range of materials.

This drill body is used in CNC machining centers and turning centers where indexable drilling with coolant delivery is required. It suits production environments in aerospace, automotive, general metalworking, and job-shop applications. The KTFS toolholder style designation ensures correct tip and spare-parts pairing within the KenTIP FS platform. Licensed machinists and CNC operators installing this body should verify spindle interface and coolant port alignment before operation.
