Kennametal 7002473 Replaceable Drill Tip 140 Degree Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7002473 is a replaceable drill tip designed for use with compatible Kentip FS series modular drilling systems. Manufactured from solid carbide in grade KC7463, this tip features a 140-degree point angle and GTP insert geometry, making it suited for demanding drilling operations in steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials. A TiN/TiAlN dual-layer coating provides heat and wear resistance, extending tool life in high-speed cutting environments. The ZD insert seat size and self-clamping holding method allow for quick tip changes without removing the drill body from the machine. Installation is performed by machinists and tooling technicians in CNC and conventional drilling applications.

This drill tip is intended for use in precision drilling operations where tool life and hole quality are priorities. The through-coolant design delivers cutting fluid directly to the cutting edge, improving chip evacuation and reducing thermal buildup at the tip. It fits into Kentip FS series drill bodies that accept the ZD seat size. Typical applications include production drilling in job shops, aerospace component machining, and general metalworking environments where replaceable-tip drilling systems are used to reduce tooling cost per hole.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in manufacturer grade KC7463 for rigidity and wear resistance
• 140-degree point angle with GTP insert geometry for controlled entry and chip formation
• TiN/TiAlN coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life
• Through-coolant capability for improved chip evacuation and thermal management
• Self-clamping ZD seat design enables fast, repeatable tip indexing
• Kentip FS series compatibility for modular drill body systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with Kentip FS series modular drill bodies that accept the ZD insert seat size. ISO designation for this tip is KTFST25400GTPM. Verify seat size and series compatibility with the drill body before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before replacing the drill tip. Use the appropriate torx or clamping key specified for the Kentip FS body to seat the tip securely — do not overtighten or use improvised tools. Confirm tip seating and runout with a dial indicator before returning the tool to service.
