Kennametal 6372055 Indexable Drill Body Kentip Fs 5xd

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6372055 is an indexable drill body with a straight cylindrical shank, designed for use in the KenTIP FS (KTFS) toolholder system. It accepts interchangeable drill tips, allowing the body to be reused across multiple jobs while only the cutting tip is replaced. The drill body features through-coolant capability and a 5xD depth-to-diameter ratio, making it suited for deeper hole applications in production machining environments. The 3/4 inch shank diameter and 162 mm overall length position this body for use in CNC machining centers and lathes where repeatable, high-feed drilling is required.

This drill body is used in metalworking operations where indexable drilling offers a cost advantage over solid carbide drills. It is appropriate for production shops, job shops, and toolrooms running ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The KenTIP FS system is built around fast tip exchanges without removing the body from the spindle, reducing downtime during tool changeovers. Typical applications include automotive, aerospace, and general machining where consistent hole geometry and cycle time are priorities.

Key Features

• 5xD drill depth-to-diameter ratio for deeper hole capability without peck cycles
• Straight cylindrical shank at 3/4 inch diameter for direct chuck or collet mounting
• Through-coolant design directs cutting fluid to the tip for chip evacuation and thermal control
• KTFS toolholder style accepts KenTIP FS indexable tips for fast, no-removal tip changes
• Flute length of 108.60 mm supports chip clearing throughout the full depth of cut

Compatibility

Designed for use with the KENNAMETAL KenTIP FS (KTFS) indexable tip system. Compatible tips must match the KTFS interface. Consult the KENNAMETAL KenTIP FS catalog for correct tip selection based on diameter and material application.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the tool path cleared before mounting or tip exchange. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet, chuck, or toolholder to the machine manufacturer's specified runout tolerance. Follow KENNAMETAL tip-seating procedures when installing or replacing the indexable tip to ensure correct engagement of the KTFS interface.
