Kennametal 6372608 Indexable Drill Body Kentip Fs 5xd

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6372608 is a straight-shank indexable drill body in the KenTIP FS series, designed for high-productivity drilling in machining centers and CNC lathes. The body accepts interchangeable KenTIP FS carbide tip inserts, allowing the cutting edge to be swapped without removing the holder from the spindle. Built to a 5xD depth-to-diameter ratio with a 20 mm shank diameter and an overall length of 162 mm, this drill body suits applications where deep-hole capability and rapid insert changeover are required. Internal coolant-through channels deliver cutting fluid directly to the tip for thermal management and chip evacuation.

This drill body is suited for metalworking operations in job shops, aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing environments. It is typically used on machining centers and turning centers running ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The KTFS toolholder style and straight-cylindrical shank allow direct mounting in standard collet chucks, hydraulic chucks, or Weldon-style holders with the appropriate bore size. The 96.50 mm flute length and 50.00 mm shank length support setup in both short-reach and moderate-reach spindle configurations.

Key Features

• 5xD drill depth-to-diameter ratio for deep-hole drilling without pilot boring
• Straight-cylindrical shank (20 mm diameter) for compatibility with standard toolholding systems
• Coolant-through design channels fluid directly to the cutting zone for chip evacuation and heat control
• KenTIP FS (KTFS) toolholder style accepts quick-change indexable carbide tip inserts
• Overall length of 162 mm with a 96.50 mm flute length for extended reach applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with KENNAMETAL KenTIP FS series indexable carbide tip inserts in the KTFS toolholder style. Mounts in any toolholding system accommodating a 20 mm straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician following the machine tool manufacturer's spindle interface procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is powered down and all stored energy is released before mounting or removing the drill body. Verify shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator before committing to production cuts. Coolant-through passages should be flushed and confirmed clear before first use to prevent tip overheating.
