Product catalog summary
Indexable Drills Overview
This document provides a comprehensive guide on Kennametal's indexable drills, focusing on tool selection, specifications, and applications. It covers various drill systems including Drill Fix DFR, DFS, DFT, and HTS series, each designed for specific drilling needs ranging from short-hole to deep-hole drilling.
Tool Selection Guide
The guide categorizes drills based on their application: DFR, DFS, and DFT for short-hole drilling, and HTS for deep-hole drilling. It provides detailed specifications such as diameter ranges, hole tolerances, and drilling depths, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right tool for specific materials like steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.
Drill Fix Systems
  • Drill Fix DFR: Suitable for diameters 12.5–24mm, offering high stability and feed rates with rectangular inserts. Ideal for applications requiring soft starting cuts and low cutting forces.
  • Drill Fix DFS: Combines trigon-style and square-style inserts for a diameter range of 24–55mm, supporting high feed rates and cutting speeds.
  • Drill Fix DFT: Covers a large diameter range of 24–82mm, featuring trigon-shaped inserts for balanced cutting forces and high stability.
HTS Series
The HTS series is designed for deep-hole drilling, offering solutions for both standard and customized applications. It includes the HTS-C and HTS-R systems, which provide flexibility in drilling depths and diameter adjustments.
Insert and Drill Coatings
The document highlights the availability of various insert grades and geometries, with the option for special coatings and edge preparations to suit different workpiece materials.
Toolholding and Alignment
Emphasizes the importance of accurate alignment of the drill's X-axis with the machine tool's X-axis for optimal performance. It also discusses the use of X-adjustment for diameter customization, reducing the need for special tools.
Safety and Customization
Safety precautions are advised during through-hole operations to prevent hazards from slugs or discs. The document also mentions the availability of engineered solutions and multistep drills for specific needs.
Specifications and Cutting Conditions
The Drill Fix DFT is available in diameters ranging from 0.625 to 3.250 inches (24–82mm) and offers a variety of lengths, insert geometries, and grades. Cutting conditions are categorized into stable (S), unstable (U), and interrupted (I), with specific recommendations for each.
Recommendations
For optimal performance, it is advised to use the Drill Fix DFT under stable conditions and to adjust the drill diameter using X-offset on turning machines. This eliminates the need for special tools and helps achieve tolerance optimization.
Features and Benefits
The Drill Fix DFT offers high hole accuracy, versatility in application, and reliability due to its balanced cutting forces and improved chip flute and coolant-channel design. It is suitable for straight holes, inclined entries and exits, interrupted cuts, and rough or welded entry surfaces.
Customization
The document mentions the availability of intermediate diameters as semi-standards, engineered solutions, and multistep drills upon request.
Safety Warning
A warning is provided regarding the potential hazard of slugs or discs being ejected during through-hole operations, emphasizing the need for adequate shielding to protect bystanders.
HTS Series Specifications
The HTS series includes three systems: HTS-C, HTS, and HTS-R, covering a diameter range from 0.787 to 10.629 inches (20 to 270 mm). The HTS-C system is designed for drilling with 5 x D and 8 x D ratios, suitable for diameters ranging from 0.750 to 1.750 inches (20 to 45 mm).
HTS Indexable Drill System
This system offers a large diameter range from 1.750 to 10.629 inches (45 to 270 mm) with standard drill heads. It uses Drill Fix™ DFT™ trigon inserts for superior centering and surface quality.
HTS-R Indexable Drill System
The HTS-R is a modular system using drill heads equipped with DFR™ insert cartridges, covering diameters from 1.575 to 2.165 inches (40 to 55 mm). It offers high feed rates at small diameters with adjustable drilling depth and diameter capabilities.
Application Data
The document includes detailed tables of cutting speeds and recommended feed rates for various conditions (stable, unstable, interrupted) and pocket seat configurations (inboard, outboard).
Features and Benefits
The HTS series is highlighted for its productivity, stability, and versatility. It is suitable for older or low-power machines due to its reduced feed and cutting speed capabilities, ensuring high stability and hole straightness with excellent chip evacuation.
Specifications and Procedures
The HTS system supports drilling diameters from 1.77 to 10.63 inches (45 to 270 mm) and can achieve depths up to 10 times the diameter. The HTS-R system extends this range to diameters between 1.575 and 2.165 inches (40 to 55 mm), with enhanced feed rates and chip control.
Assembly Options
Various assembly options are available with specific adapters and extensions to accommodate different drilling requirements. The document warns against exceeding two extensions or one extension plus a reducer to maintain system stability.
Components and Accessories
Each shank is shipped with a drive ring and clamping screws. The document also mentions the inclusion of a rotary coolant ring and the necessity of ordering nipples separately, which are designed with a predetermined breaking point for safety.
Key Parameters
Critical parameters such as cutting speed ranges, feed rates by diameter, and material group conditions are highlighted. The document provides a comprehensive guide for selecting the appropriate settings based on the material and desired outcomes, ensuring optimal performance and tool longevity.
