KenTIP™ FS

Modular Drilling with Solid Carbide Performance. The new modular drill KenTip™ FS covers more applications and provides better performance than any other modular system.

Kennametal Carbide

Carbide where it matters

KenTIP™ FS inserts cover the entire front part of the drill. The coupling is completely protected from chip flow and contact with workpiece.

  • 3-point geometries, 3 high-performance grades, 3 different shank styles
  • This modular drilling system covers a 6–26mm diameter range
  • Up to 12 x D drilling depths
  • Applicable in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron
  • Maximum performance and long tool life, even in unstable conditions

Unique Point Geometries

3 material-specific, self-centering point designs enable excellent hole quality and optimum tool performance.

stainless steel HPL geometry

Stainless Steel HPL Geometry

  • HPL point geometry for stainles steels
  • Forms 2 chips per cutting edge for an uninterrupted and smooth chip flow
  • KCMS15™ is an AITiN PVD monolayer coating
  • Prevents edge build up, which delivers superior hole quality
  • Very high metal removal rates
  • With internal coolant
cast iron HPC geometry

Cast Iron HPC Geometry

  • HPC point geometry for all cast irons
  • 4 margin lands ensure hole straightness
  • Large corner radius prevents chipping and reduces exit burs when drilling through holes
  • KC7410™ is an AICr PVD multilayer coating
  • Superb wear resistance
  • With internal coolant
Steel HPG Geometry

Steel HPG Geomery

  • HPG point geometry for steels
  • Great positioning and centering capabilities for drilling without precentering even in deeper holes
  • JCP15A™ is and AITiN PVD monolayer coating
  • Excellent balance between toughness and wear resistance
  • Without internal coolant

Multi-Coolant

Coolant delivery to the drill point and to the rake face for guaranteed coolant delivery where it is needed.

KMT Kentip Coolant
KMT Kentip Interface

Fast Flow

Large, ultra-high polished chip flutes guarantee hassle-free chip evacuation, enhancing tool life and performance.

KMT Kentip Flow

Intelligent Interface

  • Taper interface uniquely designed for highest rigidity clamping
  • Retention lock prevents insert pullout
  • Large bearing surface positioned for transmission of highest torsional loads without pocket deformation
  • Large face contact surface



Kennametal HydroForce

Optimize your KenTIP™ FS performance with HydroForce™ chucks

HydroForce™ hydraulic chucks offer maximum flexibility by using the two standard bore offerings, combined with reducer sleeves, to cover the entire range of shank diameters, thus lowering toolholder inventory costs. HydroForce improves tool life up to 50% longer than regular hydraulic chucks, thereby increasing productivity.
