Kennametal 6372068 Indexable Drill Body Kentip Fs 8xd

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6372068 is a straight-shank indexable drill body in the KenTIP FS series, designed for through-coolant drilling operations in metal-cutting applications. The body accepts interchangeable KenTIP FS (KTFS) drill tips, allowing the shank to be reused while only the cutting tip is replaced. With an 8xD depth-to-diameter ratio and a 5/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank, this body is suited for deep-hole drilling where rigidity and coolant delivery are critical. Overall length is 203 millimeters with a flute length of 153 millimeters and a shank length of 48.51 millimeters. The part weighs 0.4 pounds.

This drill body is intended for use in CNC machining centers, lathes with live tooling, and drill presses where a straight-shank interface is required. The 8xD ratio makes it appropriate for applications requiring deeper holes in a single pass without peck-drilling cycles. Through-spindle or through-tool coolant delivery is supported, which helps evacuate chips and manage heat in ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Installation is performed by machinists and tooling technicians working in production or job-shop environments.

Key Features

• KenTIP FS (KTFS) series indexable tip interface for fast tip changes without removing the body from the spindle
• 8xD drill depth-to-diameter ratio for deep-hole capability in a single setup
• 5/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank for broad machine compatibility
• Through-coolant design to improve chip evacuation and extend tip life
• Overall length of 203 millimeters with a flute length of 153 millimeters
• Lightweight construction at 0.4 pounds for reduced spindle load

Compatibility

Designed for use with KENNAMETAL KenTIP FS series interchangeable drill tips using the KTFS toolholder interface. Requires a machine spindle or toolholder capable of accepting a 5/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank with through-coolant capability.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians with the machine powered down and locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the shank bore and collet or chuck are clean and free of chips before seating the body. Follow the machine and toolholder manufacturer torque specifications when securing the shank. Inspect the KTFS tip seat for wear or contamination before installing a replacement tip.
