Kennametal Drilling System Features Hydraulic Clamping

Kennametal Inc.’s new ST Line modular drilling system is designed for challenging beam drilling for the construction industry. The new product line was developed to address common construction machining issues such as reliability, stability and noise control.

Some features and benefits include hydraulic clamping for less vibrations, delivering better tool life and hole quality; straight shank with flange and threaded pin for enhanced rigidity and stiffness, delivering longer tool life and boosted performance; KSEM modular drilling system for strong insert clamping, delivering enhanced durability and reliability; and minimum quantity lubricant (MQL) optimized coolant channels for improved cooling and lubrication.

The new modular drilling system is designed specifically for structural steel and construction operations and is compatible with Kennametal’s existing KSEM inserts.

Kennametal also launches new four-edged PSTS inserts that further enhance the company’s true, full-solution tangential milling platform, Mill 4-12^KT. The new inserts feature a PU geometry that provides low cost per cutting edge and increased metal removal rates.

The new inserts feature precision-pressed PU geometry for the lowest cost per cutting edge, as well as strong cutting edges for higher productivity and increased metal removal rates.
