Kennametal 7004230 Replaceable Drill Tip 17.9mm 140 Degree

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7004230 is a replaceable drill tip engineered for precision drilling applications in metal-cutting operations. Part of the Kentip FS series, this tip is manufactured from solid carbide in grade KC7366 and features a dual-layer TiN/TiAlN coating that extends cutting life and resists heat at the cutting edge. The tip measures 17.9 mm in cutting diameter with a 140-degree included angle, making it suited for general-purpose drilling into steel and other ferrous materials. It carries an ISO designation of KTFST17900GTPM and uses a self-clamping insert holding method with an Insert Seat Size V. Through-coolant capability is built in, supporting high-speed, high-feed drilling cycles where chip evacuation and heat management are critical.

This replaceable drill tip is intended for use in modular drilling systems that accept Kentip FS series heads. It is a single-unit component designed for rapid tip exchange on the drill body without removing the entire tool from the spindle, reducing downtime during production runs. Typical applications include CNC machining centers and turning centers performing hole-making operations in ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The GTP insert geometry supports stable cutting action with controlled chip formation. This tip is sold and replaced individually and is appropriate for shops running high-volume drilling cycles where tip changeover speed and consistent hole quality are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in manufacturer grade KC7366 for rigidity and wear resistance
• Dual-layer TiN/TiAlN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life
• 17.9 mm cutting diameter with 140-degree included angle for general-purpose drilling
• Through-coolant design supports high-speed drilling and efficient chip evacuation
• Self-clamping insert holding method enables fast, tool-free tip exchange
• GTP insert geometry for controlled chip formation and stable cutting

Compatibility

Designed for use with KENNAMETAL Kentip FS series modular drill bodies that accept Insert Seat Size V replaceable tips. Confirm drill body seat size and series compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

This tip is installed by a machinist or tooling technician following the drill body manufacturer torque and seating procedures. Ensure the spindle is stopped and the machine is locked out before performing any tip exchange. Inspect the insert seat on the drill body for debris, wear, or damage before seating the new tip. Verify proper seating and clamping engagement before resuming cutting operations.
