Kennametal 6389587 Indexable Drill Body 12xd Kentip Fs

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6389587 is a KenTIP FS series indexable drill body designed for deep-hole drilling applications in metalworking and machining operations. Built to the KTFS toolholder style, this drill body accepts interchangeable KenTIP FS insert tips, allowing fast tip changes without removing the body from the spindle. It features a 12xD drill depth-to-diameter ratio, a 12.00 mm shank diameter, and an overall length of 186 mm (approximately 7.32 inches). This body is installed by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments where repeatable hole quality and efficient insert indexing are required.

This drill body is suited for use in CNC machining centers, lathes with live tooling, and dedicated drilling machines. The 12xD depth ratio makes it appropriate for deep-hole applications in steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials. The flute length of 129.20 mm supports effective chip evacuation over the full drilling depth. With a shank length of 45.00 mm, it is compatible with standard toolholder setups used in production machining environments.

Key Features

• 12xD drill depth-to-diameter ratio for deep-hole capability
• KenTIP FS (KTFS) toolholder style for quick, accurate tip changes without body removal
• 12.00 mm shank diameter fits standard KTFS collet and chuck setups
• Flute length of 129.20 mm supports chip evacuation in deep drilling
• Overall length of 186 mm (approximately 7.32 inches) for reach in confined setups
• Single-piece indexable body design reduces tooling changeover time

Compatibility

Designed for use with the KENNAMETAL KenTIP FS insert tip system using KTFS-style toolholders. Specific compatible insert tip part numbers and machine model compatibility should be confirmed against current KENNAMETAL KenTIP FS system documentation for this shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the drill body from the toolholder. Verify shank seating and clamping torque according to the machine and toolholder manufacturer specifications before operation. Inspect the insert tip seating pocket for chips or debris before indexing or installing a new tip.
