Kennametal KenTIP FS replaceable drill tip saves tooling costs, eliminates process steps

Kennametal has expanded its replaceable drill offering for the KenTIP FS modular drill series with the new FEG insert for flat bottom hole applications. Applicable for steel, cast iron, and stainless steels, these inserts eliminate end milling operations and complete a task in a single operation, saving time and tooling costs, the company states.
It features a 180-degree cutting edge and a conical centrepoint, which acts as a pilot to provide stable hole position and straightness. Corner chamfers serve to protect the cutting edges and reduce exit burrs. Four margin lands provide stability when breaking into interrupted cuts and cross-holes.
The company’s KCP15A grade uses a nano-structured AlTiN coating and fine-grain carbide substrate, providing both toughness and wear resistance when drilling steel, stainless steel, and cast iron.
The diameter range covers 0.236 to 1.024 in., and drilling depth of up to 12xD is possible depending on the tool’s modular drill body.
