Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	The summary of our significant accounting policies is presented below to assist in evaluating our consolidated financial statements.
	PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. Investments in entities of less than 50 percent of the voting stock over which we have significant influence are accounted for on an equity basis. The factors used to determine significant influence include, but are not limited to, our management involvement in the investee, such as hiring and setting compensation for management of the investee, the ability to make operating and capital decisions of the investee, representation on the investee’s board of directors and purchase and supply agreements with the investee. Investments in entities of less than 50 percent of the voting stock in which we do not have significant influence are accounted for on the cost basis.
	USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), we make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in our financial statements. As part of our financial reporting process, our management collaborates to determine the necessary information on which to base our judgments and develop estimates used to prepare the financial statements. We use historical experience and available information to make these judgments and estimates. However, different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and in light of different facts and circumstances. Therefore, actual amounts could differ from the estimates reflected in our financial statements.
	CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash investments having original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Cash equivalents principally consist of investments in money market funds and bank deposits at June 30, 2014.
	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE We market our products to a diverse customer base throughout the world. Trade credit is extended based upon periodically updated evaluations of each customer’s ability to satisfy its obligations. We make judgments as to our ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances for the portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Accounts receivable reserves are determined based upon an aging of accounts and a review of specific accounts.
	INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We use the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for determining the cost of a significant portion of our United States (U.S.) inventories. The cost of the remainder of our inventories is determined under the first-in, first-out or average cost methods. When market conditions indicate an excess of carrying costs over market value, a lower-of-cost-or-market provision is recorded. Excess and obsolete inventory reserves are established based upon our evaluation of the quantity of inventory on hand relative to demand. The excess and obsolete inventory reserve at June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $52.7 million and $52.7 million, respectively.
	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Retirements and disposals are removed from cost and accumulated depreciation accounts, with the gain or loss reflected in operating income. Interest related to the construction of major facilities is capitalized as part of the construction costs and is depreciated over the facilities estimated useful life.
	Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: building and improvements over 15-40 years; machinery and equipment over 4-15 years; furniture and fixtures over 5-10 years and computer hardware and software over 3-5 years.
	Leased property and equipment under capital leases are depreciated using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases.
	LONG-LIVED ASSETS We evaluate the recoverability of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that are amortized, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of any such assets may not be fully recoverable. Changes in circumstances include technological advances, changes in our business model, capital structure, economic conditions or operating performance. Our evaluation is based upon, among other things, our assumptions about the estimated future undiscounted cash flows these assets are expected to generate. When the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset or asset group, we will recognize an impairment loss to the extent that carrying value exceeds fair value. We apply our best judgment when performing these evaluations to determine if a triggering event has occurred, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess recoverability and the fair value of the asset.
	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested at least annually for impairment. We perform our annual impairment tests during the June quarter in connection with our annual planning process, unless there are impairment indicators that warrant a test prior to that.
	A summary of the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each segment, as well as the changes in such, is as follows:
	(in thousands)	Industrial				Infrastructure				Total
	Goodwill	$	407,610			$	462,582			$	870,192

	The Company is currently exploring strategic alternatives for a portion of its Infrastructure business, which has an estimated net book value of approximately $39.0 million as of June 30, 2014.  As the strategic direction has not yet been determined, the Company cannot determine if an impairment loss is either probable or estimable.

	On November 4, 2013, we acquired the Tungsten Materials Business (TMB) from Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI), the operations of which are included in both the Industrial and Infrastructure segments. As a result of the acquisition, we increased goodwill by $243.6 million and other intangible assets by $127.3 million based on our purchase price allocations. In the Infrastructure segment we recorded customer-related intangible assets of $102.0 million with an estimated useful life of 18 years to 21 years, technology-based and other intangibles of $13.1 million with an estimate useful life of 10 years to 13 years, trademarks of $2.7 million with an estimated useful life of 10 years and contract-based intangibles of $1.6 million with an estimated useful life of 3 years. In the Industrial segment we recorded customer-related intangible assets of $2.9 million with an estimated useful life of 10 years, trademarks of $2.5 million with an estimated useful life of 10 years, unpatented technology of $2.3 million with an estimated useful life of 10 years and technology-based an other intangibles of $0.2 million with an estimated useful life of 5 years. These other intangible assets will be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives.
	In the Infrastructure and Industrial segments we recorded $183.5 million and $60.1 million of goodwill, respectively, related to the TMB acquisition. The goodwill recorded relates to operating synergies associated with the acquisition that we expected to realize. Goodwill of $202.1 million was deductible for tax purposes.
	On August 1, 2013, we acquired the operating assets of Comercializadora Emura S.R.L. and certain related entities (Emura), in our Infrastructure segment. As a result of the acquisition we increased other intangible assets by $16.4 million based on our purchase price allocations. We recorded supplier relationship intangible assets in technology-based and other of $15.9 million with an estimated useful life of 20 years, contract-based intangibles of $0.4 million with an estimated useful life of 3 years and trademarks of $0.1 million with an estimated useful life of 20 years. These intangible assets will be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives.
	We recorded currency translation adjustments which increased intangible assets by $3.0 million in 2014 and decreased intangible assets by $0.2 million in 2013.
	Amortization expense for intangible assets was $26.2 million, $20.8 million and $16.4 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for 2015 through 2019 is $27.7 million, $27.3 million, $25.4 million, $23.5 million, and $22.7 million, respectively.
	PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS We sponsor these types of benefit plans for certain employees and retirees. Accounting for the cost of these plans requires the estimation of the cost of the benefits to be provided well into the future and attributing that cost over the expected work life of employees participating in these plans. This estimation requires our judgment about the discount rate used to determine these obligations, expected return on plan assets, rate of future compensation increases, rate of future health care costs, withdrawal and mortality rates and participant retirement age. Differences between our estimates and actual results may significantly affect the cost of our obligations under these plans.
	In the valuation of our pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities, management utilizes various assumptions. Discount rates are derived by identifying a theoretical settlement portfolio of high quality corporate bonds sufficient to provide for a plan’s projected benefit payments. This rate can fluctuate based on changes in the corporate bond yields.
	The long-term rate of return on plan assets is estimated based on an evaluation of historical returns for each asset category held by the plans, coupled with the current and short-term mix of the investment portfolio. The historical returns are adjusted for expected future market and economic changes. This return will fluctuate based on actual market returns and other economic factors.
	The rate of future health care costs is based on historical claims and enrollment information projected over the next year and adjusted for administrative charges. This rate is expected to decrease until 2024.
	Future compensation rates, withdrawal rates and participant retirement age are determined based on historical information. These assumptions are not expected to significantly change. Mortality rates are determined based on a review of published mortality tables.
	EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while diluted earnings per share is calculated to reflect the potential dilution that occurs related to the issuance of capital stock under stock option grants, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share relates solely to the effect of capital stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units.
	For purposes of determining the number of diluted shares outstanding at June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share calculations were increased due solely to the dilutive effect of unexercised capital stock options, unvested restricted stock awards and unvested restricted stock units by 1.0 million, 1.1 million and 1.2 million shares, respectively. Unexercised capital stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards of 0.3 million, 1.0 million and 0.7 million shares at June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price, and therefore the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
	REVENUE RECOGNITION We recognize revenue upon shipment of our products and assembled machines. Our general conditions of sale explicitly state that the delivery of our products and assembled machines is freight on board shipping point and that title and all risks of loss and damage pass to the buyer upon delivery of the sold products or assembled machines to the common carrier.
	Our general conditions of sale explicitly state that acceptance of the conditions of shipment are considered to have occurred unless written notice of objection is received by Kennametal within 10 calendar days of the date specified on the invoice. We do not ship products or assembled machines unless we have documentation from our customers authorizing shipment. Our products are consumed by our customers in the manufacture of their products. Historically, we have experienced very low levels of returned products and assembled machines and do not consider the effect of returned products and assembled machines to be material. We have recorded an estimated returned goods allowance to provide for any potential returns.
	We warrant that products and services sold are free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service when correctly installed, used and maintained. This warranty terminates 30 days after delivery of the product to the customer and does not apply to products that have been subjected to misuse, abuse, neglect or improper storage, handling or maintenance. Products may be returned to Kennametal, only after inspection and approval by Kennametal and upon receipt by the customer of shipping instructions from Kennametal. We have included an estimated allowance for warranty returns in our returned goods allowance.
	We recognize revenue related to the sale of specialized assembled machines upon customer acceptance and installation, as installation is deemed essential to the functionality of a specialized assembled machine. Sales of specialized assembled machines were immaterial for 2014, 2013 and 2012.
	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION We recognize stock-based compensation expense for all stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units over the period from the date of grant to the date when the award is no longer contingent on the employee providing additional service (substantive vesting period). We utilize the Black-Scholes valuation method to establish the fair value of all stock option awards.
	Capital stock options are granted to eligible employees at fair market value at the date of grant. Capital stock options are exercisable under specified conditions for up to 10 years from the date of grant. At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareowners, the Kennametal Inc. Stock and Incentive Plan of 2010, as Amended and Restated on October 22, 2013 (A/R 2010 Plan) was approved. The A/R 2010 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 9,500,000 shares of the Company’s capital stock plus any shares remaining unissued under the Kennametal Inc. Stock and Incentive Plan of 2002, as amended (2002 Plan). Under the provisions of the A/R 2010 Plan participants may deliver stock, owned by the holder for at least six months, in payment of the option price and receive credit for the fair market value of the shares on the date of delivery. The fair market value of shares delivered during 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $0.5 million, $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In addition to stock option grants, the A/R 2010 Plan permits the award of stock appreciation rights, performance share awards, performance unit awards, restricted stock awards, restricted unit awards and share awards to directors, officers and key employees.
	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Research and development costs of $44.0 million, $39.7 million and $38.3 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were expensed as incurred. These costs are included in operating expense in the consolidated statements of income.
	SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS All fees billed to customers for shipping and handling are classified as a component of sales. All costs associated with shipping and handling are classified as a component of cost of goods sold.
	INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes are recognized based on the future income tax effects (using enacted tax laws and rates) of differences in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is “more likely than not” that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES As part of our financial risk management program, we use certain derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and, therefore, hold no derivative instruments for trading purposes. We use derivative financial instruments to provide predictability to the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results, achieve our targeted mix of fixed and floating interest rates on outstanding debt. Our objective in managing foreign exchange exposures with derivative instruments is to reduce volatility in cash flow, allowing us to focus more of our attention on business operations. With respect to interest rate management, these derivative instruments allow us to achieve our targeted fixed-to-floating interest rate mix, as a separate decision from funding arrangements, in the bank and public debt markets.
We account for derivative instruments as a hedge of the related asset, liability, firm commitment or anticipated transaction, when the derivative is specifically designated as a hedge of such items. We measure hedge effectiveness by assessing the changes in the fair value or expected future cash flows of the hedged item. The ineffective portions are recorded in other expense (income), net. Certain currency forward contracts hedging significant cross-border intercompany loans are considered other derivatives and, therefore, do not qualify for hedge accounting. These contracts are recorded at fair value in the balance sheet, with the offset to other expense (income), net.
CASH FLOW HEDGES Currency Forward contracts and range forward contracts (a transaction where both a put option is purchased and a call option is sold) are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge anticipated cash flows from cross-border intercompany sales of products and services. Gains and losses realized on these contracts at maturity are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, and are recognized as a component of other expense (income), net when the underlying sale of products or services is recognized into earnings.
Interest Rate Floating-to-fixed interest rate swap contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, are entered into from time to time to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes on a portion of our floating rate debt. These interest rate swap contracts convert a portion of our floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. We record the fair value of these contracts as an asset or a liability, as applicable, in the balance sheet, with the offset to accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.
FAIR VALUE HEDGES Interest Rate Fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts, designated as fair value hedges, are entered into from time to time to hedge our exposure to fair value fluctuations on a portion of our fixed rate debt. These interest rate swap contracts convert a portion of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. When in place, these contracts require periodic settlement, and the difference between amounts to be received and paid under the contracts is recognized in interest expense.
CURRENCY TRANSLATION Assets and liabilities of international operations are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates throughout the year. The resulting net translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. The local currency is the functional currency of most of our locations. Losses from currency transactions included in other expense (income), net were $2.5 million, $4.5 million and $2.6 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Adopted
As of July 1, 2013, Kennametal adopted disclosure requirements related to reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. See Note 13 to these consolidated financial statements for required disclosures. Other than the change in disclosures, the adoption of this guidance had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
As of July 1, 2013, Kennametal adopted additional guidance on testing indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment. The guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Issued
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606”. This ASU replaces nearly all existing U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition. The standard prescribes a five-step model for recognizing revenue, the application of which will require significant judgment. This standard is effective for Kennametal July 1, 2017. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. This standard is effective for Kennametal July 1, 2015. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. The ASU is not expected to have a material effect.
In July 2013, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation in the financial statements of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance takes into account these losses and carryfowards as well as the intended or likelihood of use of the unrecognized tax benefit in determining the balance sheet classification as an asset or liability. This guidance is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2014 and will not have a material impact.

Business Combinations [Abstract]	'
ACQUISITION	'
	ACQUISITIONS
	TMB
	On November 4, 2013, the Company completed its transaction to acquire TMB from ATI which included all of the assets of TDY Industries, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ATI, used or held for use by TDY in connection with the business; and all of the shares of TDY Limited and ATI Holdings SAS, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of ATI, for a purchase price of $607.0 million, net of cash acquired. We funded the acquisition primarily through a combination of cash from operations and available borrowings under our existing credit facility.
	TMB, is a leading producer of tungsten metallurgical powders, as well as tooling technologies and components. The business has approximately 1,175 employees in 12 locations primarily in the United States of America, and 6 other countries. The acquisition aligns with the Company's long-term growth strategies, expands presence in aerospace and energy end markets, further augments the Company's tooling portfolio and accelerates our metallurgical strategy including planned tungsten carbide recycling and production.
	As part of the acquisition of TMB, Kennametal incurred $8.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2014 of acquisition-related costs, which are included in operating expense and cost of goods sold.
	Purchase Price Allocation
	In accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations, the TMB acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 reflects the allocation of the purchase price.
	The allocation of the total purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of June 30, 2014 is as follows:
	(in thousands)		Total
	ASSETS
	Current assets:
	Cash and cash equivalents		$	1,294
	Accounts receivable		41,164
	Inventories		100,453
	Other current assets		4,014
	Total current assets		146,925
	Property, plant and equipment		127,838
	Goodwill		243,577
	Other intangible assets		127,300
	Deferred income taxes		6,978
	Other		603
	Total assets		$	653,221
	LIABILITIES

	Accounts payable		$	22,790
	Accrued payroll		3,401
	Accrued expenses		5,434
	Total current liabilities		31,625
	Deferred income taxes		4,585
	Other long-term liabilities		8,781
	Total liabilities		44,991
	Net assets acquired		$	608,230
	In connection with this acquisition, we identified and valued certain intangible assets, including existing customer relationships, technologies, trademarks and contract-based intangibles, as discussed in Note 2. The goodwill recorded of $243.6 million is attributable to the operating synergies associated with the acquisition that we expected to realize, as discussed in Note 2.
	Solely as a result of uncertainty related to potential adjustments to the purchase consideration with the seller, which adjustments, if any, are not expected to be material, the preliminary purchase price allocation is not finalized as of June 30, 2014.
	The operating results for the year ended June 30, 2014 include net sales of $194.9 million and net loss attributable to Kennametal of $10.5 million related to TMB.
	Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
	The following unaudited pro forma summary of operating results presents the consolidated results of operations as if the TMB acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2012. These amounts were calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting TMB’s results to reflect increased depreciation and amortization expense resulting from recording fixed assets and intangible assets at fair value, as well as increased cost of sales resulting from recording inventory at fair value. The pro forma results for the year ended June 30, 2014 excludes $8.7 million of acquisition-related and includes $19.1 million of restructuring-related pre-tax costs. The pro forma results for the year ended June 30, 2013 includes $8.7 million of integration-related pre-tax costs. The pro forma results have been presented for comparative purposes only, include no expected sales or cost synergies and are not indicative of future results of operations or what would have occurred had the acquisition been made on July 1, 2012.
	Unaudited pro forma summary of operating results of Kennametal, assuming the acquisition had occurred as of July 1, 2012, are as follows:
	Year ended June 30 (in thousands)	2014			2013
	Pro forma (unaudited):
	Net Sales	$	2,941,005		$	2,902,160
	Net income attributable to Kennametal	$	175,804		$	190,863
	Per share data attributable to Kennametal Shareowners :
	Basic earnings per share	$	2.23		$	2.4
	Diluted earnings per share	$	2.21		$	2.37
	Emura
	On August 1, 2013, the Company acquired the operating assets of Comercializadora Emura S.R.L. and certain related entities (Emura), based in La Paz, Bolivia, and secured related material sourcing agreements for a purchase price of $40.1 million, of which $25.6 million was paid in fiscal year 2014 and $0.5 million was paid in fiscal year 2013, and $14.0 million of contingent consideration, as discussed in Note 5. Emura's principal operations is engaged in collecting, testing, processing and exporting tungsten ore material, and was a long-standing supplier to Kennametal. The addition of Emura enhances the Company's strategic tungsten sourcing capabilities to serve growth globally.
	Other
	On September 30, 2013, the Company completed a small acquisition in the Infrastructure segment for $2.0 million.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	'
	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels to prioritize the inputs used in valuations, as defined below:
	Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
	Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
	Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable.
	As of June 30, 2014, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized as follows:
	(in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
	Assets:
	Derivatives (1)	$	—	$	253	$	—	$	253
	Total assets at fair value	$	—	$	253	$	—	$	253
	Liabilities:

	Total liabilities at fair value	$	—	$	1,053	$	14,000	$	15,053
	The fair value of contingent consideration payable that was classified as Level 3 relates to our probability assessments of expected future milestone targets, primarily associated with product delivery, related to the Emura acquisition. The contingent consideration is to be paid over the next 3 years. During the current year the Company reassessed this contingent consideration and determined that no adjustment to the fair value was deemed necessary and that no changes in the expected outcome have occurred during the year ended June 30, 2014.
	As of June 30, 2013, the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized as follows:
	(in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	'
	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
	As part of our financial risk management program, we use certain derivative financial instruments. See Note 2 for discussion on our derivative instruments and hedging activities policy.
	The fair value of derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in the consolidated balance sheet are as follows:
	(in thousands)	2014			2013
	Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
	Other current assets - range forward contracts	$	184		$	658
	Other current liabilities - range forward contracts	(6		)	(522		)
	Other assets - range forward contracts	42			69

	Total derivatives not designated as hedging instruments	(1,020		)	40
	Total derivatives	$	(800	)	$	245
	Certain currency forward contracts that hedge significant cross-border intercompany loans are considered as other derivatives and therefore do not qualify for hedge accounting. These contracts are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet, with the offset to other expense (income), net. Losses (gains) related to derivatives not designated as hedging instruments have been recognized as follows:
	(in thousands)	2014			2013			2012
	Other expense (income), net - currency forward contracts	$	1,057		$	1,210		$	(1,149	)
	FAIR VALUE HEDGES
	Fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts, designated as fair value hedges, are entered into from time to time to hedge our exposure to fair value fluctuations on a portion of our fixed rate debt. We had no such contracts outstanding at June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013.
	In February 2009 we terminated interest rate swap contracts to convert $200.0 million of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. These contracts were originally set to mature in June 2012. This gain was amortized as a component of interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method. The gain was fully amortized as of June 30, 2012. During the year ended June 30, 2012, $5.9 million was recognized as a reduction in interest expense.
	CASH FLOW HEDGES
	Currency forward contracts and range forward contracts (a transaction where both a put option is purchased and a call option is sold) are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge anticipated cash flows from cross-border intercompany sales of products and services. Gains and losses realized on these contracts at maturity are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, and are recognized as a component of other expense (income), net when the underlying sale of products or services is recognized into earnings. The notional amount of the contracts translated into U.S. dollars at June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $91.1 million and $102.2 million, respectively. The time value component of the fair value of range forward contracts is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Assuming the market rates remain constant with the rates at June 30, 2014, we expect to recognize into earnings in the next 12 months $0.1 million of losses on outstanding derivatives.
	Floating-to-fixed interest rate swap contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, are entered into from time to time to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes on a portion of our floating rate debt. These interest rate swap contracts convert a portion of our floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. We record the fair value of these contracts as an asset or a liability, as applicable, in the balance sheet, with the offset to accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax. We had no such contracts outstanding at June 30, 2014 or 2013, respectively.
	In February 2012, we settled forward starting interest rate swap contracts to convert $150.0 million of our floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. Upon settlement, we made a cash payment of $22.4 million. The loss is being amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method. During the year ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, $1.9 million and $1.9 million was recognized as interest expense, respectively.
	The following represents losses related to cash flow hedges:

	Losses recognized in other comprehensive loss, net	$	(702	)	$	(611	)	$	(11,165	)
	Losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into other expense (income), net	$	1,399		$	1,116		$	270
	No portion of the gains or losses recognized in earnings was due to ineffectiveness and no amounts were excluded from our effectiveness testing for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

	Senior Unsecured Notes On November 7, 2012, we issued $400.0 million of 2.65 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2019. Interest is paid semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. We used the net proceeds from this notes offering to repay outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility and for general corporate purposes. On February 14, 2012, we issued $300 million of 3.875 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2022. Interest is paid semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year. We settled forward starting interest rate swap contracts related to this bond issuance as discussed in Note 6. We applied the net proceeds from this notes offering to the repayment of our 7.2 percent Senior Unsecured Notes at their June 15, 2012 maturity.
	2011 Credit Agreement The five-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (2011 Credit Agreement) permits revolving credit loans of up to $600 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The 2011 Credit Agreement matures in April 2018 and allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euro, Canadian dollars, pound sterling and Japanese yen. Interest payable under the 2011 Credit Agreement is based upon the type of borrowing under the facility and may be (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, (2) the greater of the prime rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus an applicable margin, or (3) fixed as negotiated by us.
	The 2011 Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including two financial covenants: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as those terms are defined in the agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2014. We had $287.1 million and $3.6 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.
	Future principal maturities of long-term debt are $7.5 million in 2015 and $978.9 million beyond 2019.

The effect of these tax benefits are included in the income tax reconciliation table under the caption “change in valuation allowance and other uncertain tax positions.”
	During 2014, we recorded a valuation allowance adjustment of $1.2 million, which reduced income tax expense.  The valuation allowance adjustment is related to a state tax law change.  The effect of this tax benefit is included in the income tax reconciliation table under the caption “change in valuation allowance and other uncertain tax positions.”
	During 2014, we recorded an adjustment of $7.2 million related to a change in assertion of a foreign subsidiary’s certain undistributed earnings, which are no longer considered permanently reinvested.   The effect of this charge is included in the income tax reconciliation table under the caption “change in indefinite reinvestment assertion.”
	During 2012, we recorded net valuation allowance adjustments of $6.9 million, which reduced income tax expense. The valuation allowance adjustments reflect a change in judgment about the realizability of certain deferred tax assets in the Netherlands. The effect of these tax benefits is included in the income tax reconciliation table under the caption “change in valuation allowance and other uncertain tax positions.”
	During 2012, we recorded adjustments of $9.0 million related to the effective settlement of uncertain tax positions in the U.S., Europe and Asia, which reduced income tax expense.

	Total deferred tax liabilities	$	178,128			$	172,237
	Total net deferred tax liabilities	$	(37,995	)		$	(19,668	)
	Included in deferred tax assets at June 30, 2014 is $52.8 million associated with net operating loss carryforwards in federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. Of that amount, $4.4 million expires through 2019, $11.3 million expires through 2024, $2.0 million expires through 2029, $0.1 million expires through 2034, and the remaining $35.0 million do not expire. The realization of these tax benefits is primarily dependent on future taxable income in these jurisdictions.
	A valuation allowance of $17.9 million has been placed against deferred tax assets in Europe, China, Hong Kong, Brazil and the U.S., the majority of which would be allocated to income tax expense upon realization of the deferred tax assets. In 2014, the valuation allowance related to these deferred tax assets increased by $2.3 million. As the respective operations generate sufficient income, the valuation allowances will be partially or fully reversed at such time we believe it will be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
	As of June 30, 2014, unremitted earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates of $2,427.1 million, the majority of which have not been previously taxed in the U.S., are considered permanently reinvested, and accordingly, no deferred tax liability has been recorded in connection therewith. It is not practical to estimate the income tax effect that might be incurred if cumulative prior year earnings not previously taxed in the U.S. were remitted to the U.S.
	A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest) is as follows as of June 30:
	(in thousands)		2014				2013
	Balance at beginning of year		$	26,798			$	7,298

Foreign currency translation		1,134				82
Balance at end of year		$	20,366			$	26,798
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate in 2014, 2013 and 2012 is $2.4 million, $4.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statement of income. We recognized interest expense of $0.8 million for 2014. We recognized a reduction in interest of $1.9 million and $0.9 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. We also recognized $0.3 million of penalty in 2012 through goodwill. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 the amount of interest accrued was $1.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the amount of penalty accrued was $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
In 2013, increases for tax positions related to the current year primarily relate to one foreign tax position.  A corresponding deferred tax asset in the amount of $22.5 million was recorded for the position in the U.S. and is included in the components of net deferred tax liabilities and assets table under the caption “other.”  In 2014, we refined our estimate for this tax position, which resulted in a $7.0 million reduction in the liability for the unrecognized tax benefit, as well as a corresponding reduction in the deferred tax asset.
With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2008. The Internal Revenue Service has audited all U.S. tax years prior to 2011 and is currently examining 2011 and 2012. Various state and foreign jurisdiction tax authorities are in the process of examining our income tax returns for various tax years ranging from 2008 to 2011. We continue to execute and expand our pan-European business model. As a result of this and other matters, we continuously review our uncertain tax positions and evaluate any potential issues that may lead to an increase or decrease in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded. We believe that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $0.4 million within the next twelve months as a result of the progression of various federal, state, and foreign audits in process.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure	'
	PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
	Pension benefits under defined benefit pension plans are based on years of service and, for certain plans, on average compensation for specified years preceding retirement. We fund pension costs in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended, for U.S. plans and in accordance with local regulations or customs for non-U.S. plans.
	We have an Executive Retirement Plan for various executives and a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan which was closed to future participation on July 26, 2006.
	We presently provide varying levels of postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain employees and retirees. Postretirement health care benefits are available to employees and their spouses retiring on or after age 55 with 10 or more years of service. Beginning with retirements on or after January 1, 1998, our portion of the costs of postretirement health care benefits is capped at 1996 levels. Beginning with retirements on or after January 1, 2009, we have no obligation to provide a company subsidy for retiree medical costs.
	We use a June 30 measurement date for all of our plans.
	Defined Benefit Pension Plans
	The funded status of our pension plans and amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30 were as follows:

	Unrecognized transition obligations	1,105				1,101
	Total	$	121,965			$	113,055
	Prepaid pension benefits are included in other long-term assets. The assets of our U.S. and international defined benefit pension plans consist principally of capital stocks, corporate bonds and government securities.
	To the best of our knowledge and belief, the asset portfolios of our defined benefit pension plans do not contain our capital stock. We do not issue insurance contracts to cover future annual benefits of defined benefit pension plan participants. Transactions between us and our defined benefit pension plans include the reimbursement of plan expenditures incurred by us on behalf of the plans. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the reimbursement of cost is permissible under current ERISA rules or local government law. The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $956.7 million and $879.3 million as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Included in the above information are plans with accumulated benefit obligations exceeding the fair value of plan assets as of June 30 as follows:

	Net periodic pension (income) cost	$	(9,047	)		$	4,862			$	7,104
	Net periodic pension income was $9.0 million in 2014 as compared to cost of $4.9 million in 2013. This change was primarily the result of discount rate changes.
	As of June 30, 2014, the projected benefit payments, including future service accruals for these plans for 2015 through 2019, are $49.0 million, $48.8 million, $50.5 million, $52.7 million and $55.1 million, respectively, and $301.5 million in 2020 through 2024.
	The amounts of accumulated other comprehensive loss expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during 2015 related to net actuarial losses and transition obligations are $4.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The amount of accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during 2015 related to prior service credit is $0.3 million.
	We expect to contribute approximately $11.5 million to our pension plans in 2015.

As of June 30, 2014, the projected benefit payments, including future service accruals for our other postretirement benefit plans for 2015 through 2019, are $2.3 million, $2.2 million, $2.2 million, $2.1 million, and $2.0 million, respectively, and $8.7 million in 2020 through 2024.
The amounts of accumulated other comprehensive loss expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during 2015 related to net actuarial losses are $0.8 million. The amount of accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during 2015 related to prior service credit is $0.1 million.
We expect to contribute approximately $2.3 million to our postretirement benefit plans in 2015.
Assumptions
The significant actuarial assumptions used to determine the present value of net benefit obligations for our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans were as follows:
	2014			2013			2012
Discount Rate:
U.S. plans	4.4	%		4.9	%		4	%
International plans	2.9-4.3%			3.5-4.8%			4.0-5.0%
Rates of future salary increases:
U.S. plans	3.0-5.0%			3.0-5.0%			3.0-5.0%
International plans	2.5-3.0%			2.5-3.0%			2.5-4.0%
The significant assumptions used to determine the net periodic costs (benefits) for our pension and other postretirement benefit plans were as follows:
	2014			2013			2012
Discount Rate:
U.S. plans	4.9	%		4	%		5.5	%
International plans	3.5-4.8%			4.0-5.5%			5.5-5.8%
Rates of future salary increases:
U.S. plans	3.0-5.0%			3.0-5.0%			3.0-5.0%
International plans	2.5-3.0%			2.5-4.0%			2.0-3.5%
Rate of return on plans assets:
U.S. plans	8	%		8	%		8	%
International plans	5.0-6.0%			5.6	%		5.8	%
The rates of return on plan assets are based on historical performance, as well as future expected returns by asset class considering macroeconomic conditions, current portfolio mix, long-term investment strategy and other available relevant information.
The annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (the health care cost trend rate) for our postretirement benefit plans was as follows:
	2014			2013			2012
Health care costs trend rate assumed for next year	7.5	%		7.8	%		8.1	%
Rate to which the cost trend rate gradually declines	5	%		4.5	%		4.5	%
Year that the rate reaches the rate at which it is assumed to remain	2024			2029			2029
A change of one percentage point in the assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects on the total service and interest cost components of our other postretirement cost and other postretirement benefit obligation at June 30, 2014:
(in thousands)	1% Increase				1% Decrease

Plan Assets
The primary objective of certain of our pension plans’ investment policies is to ensure that sufficient assets are available to provide the benefit obligations at the time the obligations come due. The overall investment strategy for the defined benefit pension plans’ assets combine considerations of preservation of principal and moderate risk-taking. The assumption of an acceptable level of risk is warranted in order to achieve satisfactory results consistent with the long-term objectives of the portfolio. Fixed income securities comprise a significant portion of the portfolio due to their plan-liability-matching characteristics and to address the plans’ cash flow requirements. Additionally, diversification of investments within each asset class is utilized to further reduce the impact of losses in single investments.
Investment management practices must comply with ERISA and all applicable regulations and rulings thereof. The use of derivative instruments is permitted where appropriate and necessary for achieving overall investment policy objectives. Currently, the use of derivative instruments is not significant when compared to the overall investment portfolio.
The Company utilizes a liability driven investment strategy (LDI) for the assets of its U.S. defined benefit pension plans in order to reduce the volatility of the funded status of these plans and to meet the obligations at an acceptable cost over the long term. This LDI strategy entails modifying the asset allocation and duration of the assets of the plans to more closely match the liability profile of these plans. The asset reallocation involves increasing the fixed income allocation, reducing the equity component and adding alternative investments. Longer duration interest rate swaps have been added in order to increase the overall duration of the asset portfolio to more closely match the liabilities.
Our defined benefit pension plans’ asset allocations as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and target allocations for 2015, by asset class, were as follows:
	2014			2013			Target %
Equity	34	%		34	%		30	%
Fixed Income	63	%		61	%		70	%
Other	3	%		5	%		—	%
The following sections describe the valuation methodologies used by the trustee to measure the fair value of the defined benefit pension plan assets, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each type of asset is generally classified (see Note 5 for the definition of fair value and a description of the fair value hierarchy).
Corporate fixed income securities Investments in corporate fixed income securities consist of corporate debt and asset backed securities. These investments are classified as level two and are valued using independent observable market inputs such as the treasury curve, swap curve and yield curve.
Common / collective trusts Investments in common / collective trusts invest primarily in publicly traded securities and are classified as level two and valued based on observable market data.
Common stock Common stocks are classified as level one and are valued at their quoted market price.
Government securities Investments in government securities consist of fixed income securities such as U.S. government and agency obligations and foreign government bonds and asset and mortgage backed securities such as obligations issued by government sponsored organizations. These investments are classified as level two and are valued using independent observable market inputs such as the treasury curve, credit spreads and interest rates.
Other fixed income securities Investments in other fixed income securities are classified as level two and valued based on observable market data.
Other Other investments consist primarily of state and local obligations and short term investments including cash, corporate notes, and various short term debt instruments which can be redeemed within a nominal redemption notice period. These investments are primarily classified as level two and are valued using independent observable market inputs.
The fair value methods described may not be reflective of future fair values. Additionally, while the Company believes the valuation methods used by the plans’ trustee are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Restructuring Charges [Abstract]	'
RESTRUCTURING	'
	RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES
	During December 2013, we announced our intent to implement restructuring actions to achieve synergies across Kennametal as a result of the TMB acquisition by consolidating operations among both organizations, reducing administrative overhead and leveraging the supply chain. Consistent with this announcement, we initiated actions in 2014, related to employment reduction and consolidating operations. These and other restructuring actions are expected to be completed over the next two years. Total pre-tax charges are expected to be in the range of $40 million to $50 million, and are anticipated to be mostly cash expenditures.
	During 2014, in conjunction with these initiatives, we recognized $19.1 million,of restructuring and related charges which included $17.8 million of restructuring charges of which $0.2 million related to inventory disposals and recorded in cost of goods sold. Restructuring-related charges of $1.2 million were recorded in cost of goods sold and $0.1 million in operating expense during 2014.
	The restructuring accrual is recorded in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet and the amount attributable to each segment is as follows:

Financial Instruments [Abstract]	'
Financial Instruments Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The methods used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments are as follows:
	Cash and Equivalents, Current Maturities of Long-Term Debt and Notes Payable to Banks The carrying amounts approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments.
	Long-Term Debt Fixed rate debt had a fair market value of $705.3 million and $680.1 million at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fair value is determined based on the quoted market price of this debt as of June 30 and were classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
	Foreign Exchange Contracts The notional amount of outstanding foreign exchange contracts, translated at current exchange rates, was $91.1 million and $102.2 million at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We would have received $0.2 million and $0.2 million at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, to settle these contracts representing the fair value of these agreements. The carrying value equaled the fair value for these contracts at June 30, 2014 and 2013. Fair value was estimated based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
	Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. By policy, we make temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions and limit the amount of exposure to any one financial institution. With respect to trade receivables, concentrations of credit risk are significantly reduced, because we serve numerous customers in many industries and geographic areas.
	We are exposed to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance of derivatives and, in the unlikely event of nonperformance, to market risk for changes in interest and currency exchange rates, as well as settlement risk. We manage exposure to counterparty credit risk through credit standards, diversification of counterparties and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of the counterparties. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, we had no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract]	'
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS	'
	ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
	The operation of our business has exposed us to certain liabilities and compliance costs related to environmental matters. We are involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation activities at certain of our locations.
	Superfund Sites We are involved as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at various sites designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as Superfund sites. For certain of these sites, we have evaluated the claims and potential liabilities and have determined that neither are material, individually or in the aggregate. For certain other sites that are being monitored, the matters have not yet progressed to a point where it is possible to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation, the timing and extent of remedial action that may be required by governmental authorities or the amount of our liability alone or in relation to that of any other PRPs.
	Other Environmental Matters We establish and maintain reserves for other potential environmental issues. At June 30, 2014 and 2013, the balance of these reserves was $11.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively. These reserves represent anticipated costs associated with the remediation of these issues. The increase in the reserve in 2014 relates to acquisitions.
	The reserves we have established for environmental liabilities represent our best current estimate of the costs of addressing all identified environmental situations, based on our review of currently available evidence, and taking into consideration our prior experience in remediation and that of other companies, as well as public information released by the USEPA, other governmental agencies, and by the PRP groups in which we are participating. Although the reserves currently appear to be sufficient to cover these environmental liabilities, there are uncertainties associated with environmental liabilities, and we can give no assurance that our estimate of any environmental liability will not increase or decrease in the future. The reserved and unreserved liabilities for all environmental concerns could change substantially due to factors such as the nature and extent of contamination, changes in remedial requirements, technological changes, discovery of new information, the financial strength of other PRPs, the identification of new PRPs and the involvement of and direction taken by the government on these matters.
	We maintain a Corporate Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Department to monitor compliance with environmental regulations and to oversee remediation activities. In addition, we have designated EHS coordinators who are responsible for each of our global manufacturing facilities. Our financial management team periodically meets with members of the Corporate EHS Department and the Corporate Legal Department to review and evaluate the status of environmental projects and contingencies. On a quarterly basis, we review financial provisions and reserves for environmental contingencies and adjust these reserves when appropriate.

	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	Legal Matters Various lawsuits arising during the normal course of business are pending against us. In our opinion, the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from these matters will have no significant effect on our consolidated financial positions or results of operations.
	Lease Commitments We lease a wide variety of facilities and equipment under operating leases, primarily for warehouses, production and office facilities and equipment. Lease expense under these rentals amounted to $31.9 million, $30.8 million and $29.1 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Future minimum lease payments for non-cancelable operating leases are $21.6 million, $14.3 million, $8.6 million, $3.8 million and $2.2 million for the years 2015 through 2019 and $24.0 million thereafter.
	Purchase Commitments We have purchase commitments for materials, supplies and machinery and equipment as part of the ordinary conduct of business. A few of these commitments extend beyond one year and are based on minimum purchase requirements. We believe these commitments are not at prices in excess of current market.
	Other Contractual Obligations We do not have material financial guarantees or other contractual commitments that are reasonably likely to adversely affect our liquidity.
	Related Party Transactions Sales to affiliated companies were immaterial in 2014, 2013 and 2012. We do not have any other related party transactions that affect our operations, results of operations, cash flow or financial condition

Segment determination is based upon internal organizational structure, the manner in which we organize segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance, the availability of separate financial results and materiality considerations.
	Sales to a single customer did not aggregate 4 percent or more of total sales in 2014, 2013 and 2012. Export sales from U.S. operations to unaffiliated customers were $82.2 million, $102.1 million, and $102.1 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	At the start of fiscal 2014, the Company enhanced its organizational structure to align a broader base management team with customer-facing products and technology platforms, as well as to further increase cross-selling opportunities. This operating structure supports the Company's stated growth objectives across diverse market sectors, preserves the focus on customers and increases product innovation. Consistent with previous allocation methodologies, corporate expenses related to each segment have been classified accordingly.
	INDUSTRIAL The Industrial segment generally serves customers that operate in industrial end markets such as transportation, general engineering, aerospace and defense. The customers in these end markets manufacture engines, airframes, automobiles, trucks, ships and various types of industrial equipment. The technology and customization requirements for customers we serve vary by customer, application and industry. The value we deliver to our Industrial segment customers centers on our application expertise and our diverse offering of products and services.
	INFRASTRUCTURE The Infrastructure segment generally serves customers that operate in the earthworks and energy sectors who support primary industries such as oil and gas, power generation, underground, surface and hard-rock mining, highway construction and road maintenance. Generally, we rely on customer intimacy to serve this segment. By gaining an in-depth understanding of our customers’ engineering and development needs, we are able to offer complete system solutions and high-performance capabilities to optimize and add value to their operations.
	We restated the segment financial information for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to reflect the change in reportable operating segments.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Principles of Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. Investments in entities of less than 50 percent of the voting stock over which we have significant influence are accounted for on an equity basis. The factors used to determine significant influence include, but are not limited to, our management involvement in the investee, such as hiring and setting compensation for management of the investee, the ability to make operating and capital decisions of the investee, representation on the investee’s board of directors and purchase and supply agreements with the investee. Investments in entities of less than 50 percent of the voting stock in which we do not have significant influence are accounted for on the cost basis.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), we make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in our financial statements. As part of our financial reporting process, our management collaborates to determine the necessary information on which to base our judgments and develop estimates used to prepare the financial statements. We use historical experience and available information to make these judgments and estimates. However, different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and in light of different facts and circumstances. Therefore, actual amounts could differ from the estimates reflected in our financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash investments having original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Cash equivalents principally consist of investments in money market funds and bank deposits at June 30, 2014.
Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE We market our products to a diverse customer base throughout the world. Trade credit is extended based upon periodically updated evaluations of each customer’s ability to satisfy its obligations. We make judgments as to our ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances for the portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Accounts receivable reserves are determined based upon an aging of accounts and a review of specific accounts.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We use the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for determining the cost of a significant portion of our United States (U.S.) inventories. The cost of the remainder of our inventories is determined under the first-in, first-out or average cost methods. When market conditions indicate an excess of carrying costs over market value, a lower-of-cost-or-market provision is recorded. Excess and obsolete inventory reserves are established based upon our evaluation of the quantity of inventory on hand relative to demand. The excess and obsolete inventory reserve at June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $52.7 million and $52.7 million, respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Retirements and disposals are removed from cost and accumulated depreciation accounts, with the gain or loss reflected in operating income. Interest related to the construction of major facilities is capitalized as part of the construction costs and is depreciated over the facilities estimated useful life.
	Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: building and improvements over 15-40 years; machinery and equipment over 4-15 years; furniture and fixtures over 5-10 years and computer hardware and software over 3-5 years.
	Leased property and equipment under capital leases are depreciated using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases.
Long Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	LONG-LIVED ASSETS We evaluate the recoverability of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that are amortized, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of any such assets may not be fully recoverable. Changes in circumstances include technological advances, changes in our business model, capital structure, economic conditions or operating performance. Our evaluation is based upon, among other things, our assumptions about the estimated future undiscounted cash flows these assets are expected to generate. When the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset or asset group, we will recognize an impairment loss to the extent that carrying value exceeds fair value. We apply our best judgment when performing these evaluations to determine if a triggering event has occurred, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess recoverability and the fair value of the asset.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested at least annually for impairment. We perform our annual impairment tests during the June quarter in connection with our annual planning process, unless there are impairment indicators that warrant a test prior to that.
	A summary of the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each segment, as well as the changes in such, is as follows:
	(in thousands)	Industrial				Infrastructure				Total

	Balance as of June 30, 2014	$	321,495			$	654,081			$	975,576
	We recorded no goodwill or other intangible asset impairments in 2014, 2013 and 2012.
	The Company is currently exploring strategic alternatives for a portion of its Infrastructure business, which has an estimated net book value of approximately $39.0 million as of June 30, 2014.  As the strategic direction has not yet been determined, the Company cannot determine if an impairment loss is either probable or estimable.
	The components of our other intangible assets were as follows:

	On November 4, 2013, we acquired the Tungsten Materials Business (TMB) from Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI), the operations of which are included in both the Industrial and Infrastructure segments. As a result of the acquisition, we increased goodwill by $243.6 million and other intangible assets by $127.3 million based on our purchase price allocations. In the Infrastructure segment we recorded customer-related intangible assets of $102.0 million with an estimated useful life of 18 years to 21 years, technology-based and other intangibles of $13.1 million with an estimate useful life of 10 years to 13 years, trademarks of $2.7 million with an estimated useful life of 10 years and contract-based intangibles of $1.6 million with an estimated useful life of 3 years. In the Industrial segment we recorded customer-related intangible assets of $2.9 million with an estimated useful life of 10 years, trademarks of $2.5 million with an estimated useful life of 10 years, unpatented technology of $2.3 million with an estimated useful life of 10 years and technology-based an other intangibles of $0.2 million with an estimated useful life of 5 years. These other intangible assets will be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives.
	In the Infrastructure and Industrial segments we recorded $183.5 million and $60.1 million of goodwill, respectively, related to the TMB acquisition. The goodwill recorded relates to operating synergies associated with the acquisition that we expected to realize. Goodwill of $202.1 million was deductible for tax purposes.
	On August 1, 2013, we acquired the operating assets of Comercializadora Emura S.R.L. and certain related entities (Emura), in our Infrastructure segment. As a result of the acquisition we increased other intangible assets by $16.4 million based on our purchase price allocations. We recorded supplier relationship intangible assets in technology-based and other of $15.9 million with an estimated useful life of 20 years, contract-based intangibles of $0.4 million with an estimated useful life of 3 years and trademarks of $0.1 million with an estimated useful life of 20 years. These intangible assets will be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives.
	We recorded currency translation adjustments which increased intangible assets by $3.0 million in 2014 and decreased intangible assets by $0.2 million in 2013.
	Amortization expense for intangible assets was $26.2 million, $20.8 million and $16.4 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for 2015 through 2019 is $27.7 million, $27.3 million, $25.4 million, $23.5 million, and $22.7 million, respectively.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS We sponsor these types of benefit plans for certain employees and retirees. Accounting for the cost of these plans requires the estimation of the cost of the benefits to be provided well into the future and attributing that cost over the expected work life of employees participating in these plans. This estimation requires our judgment about the discount rate used to determine these obligations, expected return on plan assets, rate of future compensation increases, rate of future health care costs, withdrawal and mortality rates and participant retirement age. Differences between our estimates and actual results may significantly affect the cost of our obligations under these plans.
	In the valuation of our pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities, management utilizes various assumptions. Discount rates are derived by identifying a theoretical settlement portfolio of high quality corporate bonds sufficient to provide for a plan’s projected benefit payments. This rate can fluctuate based on changes in the corporate bond yields.
	The long-term rate of return on plan assets is estimated based on an evaluation of historical returns for each asset category held by the plans, coupled with the current and short-term mix of the investment portfolio. The historical returns are adjusted for expected future market and economic changes. This return will fluctuate based on actual market returns and other economic factors.
	The rate of future health care costs is based on historical claims and enrollment information projected over the next year and adjusted for administrative charges. This rate is expected to decrease until 2024.
	Future compensation rates, withdrawal rates and participant retirement age are determined based on historical information. These assumptions are not expected to significantly change. Mortality rates are determined based on a review of published mortality tables.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while diluted earnings per share is calculated to reflect the potential dilution that occurs related to the issuance of capital stock under stock option grants, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share relates solely to the effect of capital stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units.
	For purposes of determining the number of diluted shares outstanding at June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share calculations were increased due solely to the dilutive effect of unexercised capital stock options, unvested restricted stock awards and unvested restricted stock units by 1.0 million, 1.1 million and 1.2 million shares, respectively. Unexercised capital stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards of 0.3 million, 1.0 million and 0.7 million shares at June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price, and therefore the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	REVENUE RECOGNITION We recognize revenue upon shipment of our products and assembled machines. Our general conditions of sale explicitly state that the delivery of our products and assembled machines is freight on board shipping point and that title and all risks of loss and damage pass to the buyer upon delivery of the sold products or assembled machines to the common carrier.
	Our general conditions of sale explicitly state that acceptance of the conditions of shipment are considered to have occurred unless written notice of objection is received by Kennametal within 10 calendar days of the date specified on the invoice. We do not ship products or assembled machines unless we have documentation from our customers authorizing shipment. Our products are consumed by our customers in the manufacture of their products. Historically, we have experienced very low levels of returned products and assembled machines and do not consider the effect of returned products and assembled machines to be material. We have recorded an estimated returned goods allowance to provide for any potential returns.
	We warrant that products and services sold are free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service when correctly installed, used and maintained. This warranty terminates 30 days after delivery of the product to the customer and does not apply to products that have been subjected to misuse, abuse, neglect or improper storage, handling or maintenance. Products may be returned to Kennametal, only after inspection and approval by Kennametal and upon receipt by the customer of shipping instructions from Kennametal. We have included an estimated allowance for warranty returns in our returned goods allowance.
	We recognize revenue related to the sale of specialized assembled machines upon customer acceptance and installation, as installation is deemed essential to the functionality of a specialized assembled machine. Sales of specialized assembled machines were immaterial for 2014, 2013 and 2012.
Stock-Based Compensation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION We recognize stock-based compensation expense for all stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units over the period from the date of grant to the date when the award is no longer contingent on the employee providing additional service (substantive vesting period). We utilize the Black-Scholes valuation method to establish the fair value of all stock option awards.
	Capital stock options are granted to eligible employees at fair market value at the date of grant. Capital stock options are exercisable under specified conditions for up to 10 years from the date of grant. At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareowners, the Kennametal Inc. Stock and Incentive Plan of 2010, as Amended and Restated on October 22, 2013 (A/R 2010 Plan) was approved. The A/R 2010 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 9,500,000 shares of the Company’s capital stock plus any shares remaining unissued under the Kennametal Inc. Stock and Incentive Plan of 2002, as amended (2002 Plan). Under the provisions of the A/R 2010 Plan participants may deliver stock, owned by the holder for at least six months, in payment of the option price and receive credit for the fair market value of the shares on the date of delivery. The fair market value of shares delivered during 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $0.5 million, $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In addition to stock option grants, the A/R 2010 Plan permits the award of stock appreciation rights, performance share awards, performance unit awards, restricted stock awards, restricted unit awards and share awards to directors, officers and key employees.
Research and Development Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Research and development costs of $44.0 million, $39.7 million and $38.3 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were expensed as incurred. These costs are included in operating expense in the consolidated statements of income.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS All fees billed to customers for shipping and handling are classified as a component of sales. All costs associated with shipping and handling are classified as a component of cost of goods sold.
Income Taxes, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes are recognized based on the future income tax effects (using enacted tax laws and rates) of differences in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is “more likely than not” that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES As part of our financial risk management program, we use certain derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and, therefore, hold no derivative instruments for trading purposes. We use derivative financial instruments to provide predictability to the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results, achieve our targeted mix of fixed and floating interest rates on outstanding debt. Our objective in managing foreign exchange exposures with derivative instruments is to reduce volatility in cash flow, allowing us to focus more of our attention on business operations. With respect to interest rate management, these derivative instruments allow us to achieve our targeted fixed-to-floating interest rate mix, as a separate decision from funding arrangements, in the bank and public debt markets.
	We account for derivative instruments as a hedge of the related asset, liability, firm commitment or anticipated transaction, when the derivative is specifically designated as a hedge of such items. We measure hedge effectiveness by assessing the changes in the fair value or expected future cash flows of the hedged item. The ineffective portions are recorded in other expense (income), net. Certain currency forward contracts hedging significant cross-border intercompany loans are considered other derivatives and, therefore, do not qualify for hedge accounting. These contracts are recorded at fair value in the balance sheet, with the offset to other expense (income), net.
Cash Flow Hedges [Policy Text Block]	'
	CASH FLOW HEDGES Currency Forward contracts and range forward contracts (a transaction where both a put option is purchased and a call option is sold) are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge anticipated cash flows from cross-border intercompany sales of products and services. Gains and losses realized on these contracts at maturity are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, and are recognized as a component of other expense (income), net when the underlying sale of products or services is recognized into earnings.
	Interest Rate Floating-to-fixed interest rate swap contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, are entered into from time to time to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes on a portion of our floating rate debt. These interest rate swap contracts convert a portion of our floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. We record the fair value of these contracts as an asset or a liability, as applicable, in the balance sheet, with the offset to accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.
Fair Value Hedges [Policy Text Block]	'
	FAIR VALUE HEDGES Interest Rate Fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts, designated as fair value hedges, are entered into from time to time to hedge our exposure to fair value fluctuations on a portion of our fixed rate debt. These interest rate swap contracts convert a portion of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. When in place, these contracts require periodic settlement, and the difference between amounts to be received and paid under the contracts is recognized in interest expense.
Currency Translation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	CURRENCY TRANSLATION Assets and liabilities of international operations are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates throughout the year. The resulting net translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. The local currency is the functional currency of most of our locations. Losses from currency transactions included in other expense (income), net were $2.5 million, $4.5 million and $2.6 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
New Accounting Standards, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
	Adopted
	As of July 1, 2013, Kennametal adopted disclosure requirements related to reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. See Note 13 to these consolidated financial statements for required disclosures. Other than the change in disclosures, the adoption of this guidance had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	As of July 1, 2013, Kennametal adopted additional guidance on testing indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment. The guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	Issued
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606”. This ASU replaces nearly all existing U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition. The standard prescribes a five-step model for recognizing revenue, the application of which will require significant judgment. This standard is effective for Kennametal July 1, 2017. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. This standard is effective for Kennametal July 1, 2015. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. The ASU is not expected to have a material effect.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation in the financial statements of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance takes into account these losses and carryfowards as well as the intended or likelihood of use of the unrecognized tax benefit in determining the balance sheet classification as an asset or liability. This guidance is effective for Kennametal beginning July 1, 2014 and will not have a material impact.
