Kennametal 6372064 Indexable Drill Body Kentip Fs 8xd

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6372064 is a straight-shank indexable drill body from the KenTIP FS series, designed for deep-hole drilling applications at an 8xD depth-to-diameter ratio. It accepts interchangeable KenTIP FS insert tips, allowing the body to be reused while only the cutting tip is replaced. The shank diameter is 9/16 inch with a straight-cylindrical profile, and the overall length is 175 mm. Flute length measures 126.80 mm and shank length measures 45.47 mm. Internal coolant-through capability is standard, directing cutting fluid directly to the cutting zone for improved chip evacuation and tool life. This tool body is used by machinists and toolroom professionals in CNC machining centers and turning centers.

The 6372064 is suited for production drilling in metalworking environments where consistent hole quality at extended depths is required. The 8xD ratio makes it appropriate for applications where standard 3xD or 5xD drills cannot reach. Coolant-through design supports drilling in steel, cast iron, stainless, and other materials that generate heat and require active chip clearing at depth. The KTFS toolholder style indexes directly with KenTIP FS replaceable tips, minimizing downtime during insert changes on the machine.

Key Features

• 8xD drill depth-to-diameter ratio for deep-hole drilling capability
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 9/16 inch diameter for standard collet or chuck mounting
• Coolant-through design channels fluid to the cutting zone for chip evacuation and heat control
• KTFS toolholder style compatible with KenTIP FS replaceable insert tips
• Overall length of 175 mm with a 126.80 mm flute length
• Indexable body design reduces tooling cost by allowing tip replacement without discarding the drill body

Compatibility

Designed for use with KenTIP FS series replaceable drill tips using the KTFS toolholder interface. Confirm tip size and series match before ordering insert tips separately.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians on CNC machining centers. Secure the straight shank in a precision collet chuck or hydraulic chuck sized for 9/16 inch shanks and verify runout before drilling. Ensure the machine spindle coolant-through circuit is active and set to the pressure appropriate for the workpiece material before starting the cut. Do not exceed the recommended depth-per-pass or feed rate specified in the KenTIP FS application guide for the insert tip in use.
