Kennametal 6388800 Replaceable Drill Tip 15mm KCP15A

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6388800 is a replaceable drill tip designed for use in KENNAMETAL KTFS-series modular drilling systems. It features a 0.5906-inch (15.00 mm) cutting diameter and a 143-degree included drill point angle optimized for the HPG insert geometry. The tip is manufactured from solid carbide and finished with an AlTiN coating applied via PVD process, delivering heat resistance and wear performance in demanding metal-cutting applications. Seat size is T. This tip is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians working with modular drill bodies on CNC lathes, machining centers, and similar equipment.

This drill tip suits applications in production machining environments where repeatable hole quality and fast tip changeovers are required. The replaceable-tip format allows the carbide cutting end to be swapped without removing the entire drill body from the spindle, reducing downtime. Typical materials machined include steels and alloy metals where the KCP15A grade and AlTiN coating provide balanced cutting performance. No coolant-through capability is present on this tip.

Key Features

• 15.00 mm (0.5906 inch) cutting diameter for consistent hole sizing
• 143-degree drill point angle with HPG insert geometry for controlled entry and chip formation
• Solid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating via PVD process for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life
• Insert seat size T for direct fitment to compatible KTFS-series drill bodies
• No coolant-through channels - suited for flood or dry cutting setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with KENNAMETAL KTFS-series modular drill bodies accepting seat size T replaceable tips.

Installation Notes

Installation and tip changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the spindle fully stopped and the machine in a safe, locked-out state. Use the correct torque wrench and KENNAMETAL-specified seat key for seating the tip - do not over-tighten by hand or with non-specified tools. Inspect the seat and tip interface for chips or debris before each installation to ensure full seating and runout accuracy. Follow the tool manufacturer's recommended cutting parameters for the KCP15A grade when setting feeds and speeds.
