Kennametal 6372617 Indexable Drill Body Kentip Fs 8xd

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6372617 is an indexable drill body in the KenTIP FS series, designed for straight-shank (straight-cylindrical) toolholding applications. Built to a drill depth-to-diameter ratio of 8xD, this drill body accepts interchangeable KenTIP FS (KTFS) drill tip inserts, allowing fast tip changes without removing the body from the spindle. The overall length is 184 mm (7.24 inches), with a flute length of 124.60 mm (4.91 inches) and a shank diameter of 16.00 mm (0.63 inches). Internal coolant-through capability is included for chip evacuation and tool life in deep-hole drilling operations. This body is installed by CNC machinists and toolroom technicians in production drilling applications.

The 6372617 drill body is suited for use on CNC machining centers and turning centers where consistent, repeatable hole depth and diameter are required. The 8xD depth ratio makes it appropriate for deeper bore applications where a standard 3xD or 5xD drill would require multiple passes or peck cycles. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard ER collet chucks, hydraulic chucks, or shrink-fit toolholders sized for a 16 mm shank. Coolant-through ports direct high-pressure coolant to the cutting zone, supporting chip flushing in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• KenTIP FS (KTFS) toolholder style - accepts indexable KenTIP FS drill tip inserts for rapid tip exchange
• 8xD drill depth-to-diameter ratio for deep-hole drilling in a single body
• Straight-cylindrical shank, 16.00 mm diameter, compatible with standard collet and hydraulic chuck systems
• Coolant-through design for high-pressure internal coolant delivery to the cutting edge
• Flute length of 124.60 mm (4.91 inches) supports full chip clearance at rated depth
• Shank length of 48.00 mm (1.89 inches) provides secure clamping engagement

Compatibility

Designed for use with KENNAMETAL KenTIP FS series indexable drill tip inserts and KTFS-style toolholders. Accepts straight-cylindrical shank toolholding systems sized for a 16 mm shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by qualified CNC operators or toolroom technicians with the machine in a full stop, spindle-off, and locked-out condition. Verify that the chuck or collet bore matches the 16.00 mm shank diameter before seating the body. Torque the clamping mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Confirm coolant-through passages are clear and that the machine coolant supply pressure is compatible with the drill body before initiating a cut.
