Kennametal KenTIP FS

Product system overview

KenTIP FS is Kennametal's replaceable-tip modular drilling system in which a carbide insert covers the full drill point and connects to a reusable body. Official records distinguish body depth and shank style as well as insert geometry, grade, diameter, material number, and catalog ID, making assembly compatibility and availability item-specific.

Industries and applications

• Modular drilling where replaceable solid-carbide cutting geometry is desired with a reusable body.
• General production, flat-bottom, high-performance, and composite or stacked-material applications using the appropriate insert geometry.
• 3xD, 5xD, 8xD, and other body lengths where through-coolant delivery and chip evacuation are part of the setup.

Technical and quote details

• System architecture: reusable drill body plus full-front carbide insert, with coupling protection and compatibility controlled by diameter and seat size.
• Official body records distinguish SS straight shanks and SCF flanged shanks with flat, depth ratios, diameter ranges, and coolant features.
• Insert geometries include HPC, HPL, FEG flat-bottom, and SPF composite-focused variants, each with its own catalog identity and application limits.
• Kennametal material numbers and ISO/ANSI catalog IDs should both be stored because users may search by either identifier.
• Official body pages provide compatible insert records, dimensional drawings, material coverage, and item-level availability context.

Selection notes

Capture body and insert material numbers, catalog IDs, body depth, shank style, seat, insert geometry, grade, diameter, and coolant condition as one assembly.

Use compatible-parts data from the official item page and confirm whether the exact material numbers remain current before quoting.

Variables to validate

• Body diameter range, insert seat, geometry, and grade must match; family membership alone does not establish compatibility.
• Flat-bottom, composite, and general-purpose inserts solve different entry, exit, material, and hole-form requirements and should not be substituted casually.
• Long-depth drilling still depends on coolant, chip evacuation, runout, pilot procedure, machine stability, and the current operating data for the selected assembly.
