Kennametal 6388769 Replaceable Drill Tip 14mm KCP15A

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6388769 is a replaceable drill tip designed for use with compatible modular drill bodies in high-performance metal cutting applications. Built from fine-grain solid carbide and coated with AlTiN via a PVD process, this tip delivers consistent cutting performance in steel and cast iron. It carries a 0.5354-inch (13.60 mm) cutting diameter, a 180-degree point angle for flat-bottom entry, and an HPG insert geometry that supports stable chip formation. The tip mounts using a clamp-style insert holding method into an Q-series seat. It weighs 0.028 pounds and is sold individually.

This replaceable drill tip is suited for machining steel and cast iron in production environments where modular tooling reduces changeover time. The 180-degree point angle makes it effective for drilling into flat, inclined, or stacked plate workpieces. With helical flutes, a regular spiral, and a two-flute, two-margin configuration, the tip handles a range of drilling conditions without requiring through-coolant capability. Typical applications include structural component drilling, plate fabrication, and general-purpose metalworking operations on CNC machining centers and drill presses.

Key Features

• Fine-grain solid carbide construction in KCP15A grade for wear resistance in steel and cast iron
• AlTiN coating applied via PVD process for elevated heat and oxidation resistance
• 180-degree point angle supports flat-bottom, inclined-exit, and stacked-plate drilling
• HPG insert geometry with two flutes and two margins for controlled chip evacuation
• Clamp-style insert holding in Q-series seat for repeatable tip positioning
• Regular helical spiral with no through-coolant requirement simplifies setup

Compatibility

Designed for use with KENNAMETAL KTFSS-series modular drill bodies accepting a Q insert seat size. Suitable for primary workpiece materials coded P (Steel) and K (Cast Iron) per ISO classification.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of replaceable drill tips should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician following the drill body manufacturer's torque and clamping procedures. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing the tip. Inspect the insert seat and clamping surfaces for wear or debris before seating the new tip. Handle solid carbide tips carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edges prior to use.
