It secures indexable inserts to the tool body, maintaining precise insert positioning under cutting loads. The screw uses a Torx Plus TP8 drive, which requires an 8IP-8 key driver for installation and removal. The M2.5 thread size is standard for this class of indexable tooling. Machinists and tool technicians working with Allied T-A series drilling systems will find this screw is the correct OEM-specified fastener for that platform. It weighs 0.1 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cap screw is intended for use with indexable insert tooling in metal-cutting drilling operations, specifically within the Allied Machine and Engineering T-A series system. It is suited for production machining environments where indexable inserts are regularly rotated or replaced. The Torx Plus drive geometry resists cam-out during tightening, which helps maintain consistent clamp force on the insert. Tool room personnel and CNC machine operators performing insert changes will use this fastener as part of routine tooling maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2.5 thread size matches OEM indexable tool body specifications for the T-A series\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTP8 Torx Plus drive requires 8IP-8 key driver for precise torque application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCap screw design provides secure clamping force to retain indexable inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with indexable drilling tool inserts as the designated hardware fastener\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndustry Standard Number 7255-IP8-1 for direct cross-reference ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with indexable insert tooling in the Allied Machine and Engineering T-A series drilling system.

Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing indexable inserts or insert screws. Use only the specified 8IP-8 Torx Plus key driver to avoid drive recess damage. Do not reuse visibly worn or damaged cap screws, as compromised threads or drive recesses can result in loss of insert clamping force during cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cap Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Torx Plus\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTorx Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: TP8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey\/Driver Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8IP-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndexable Tool Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: T-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7255-IP8-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7255-IP8-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755348033842,"sku":"7255-IP8-1","price":50.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/01d71e449e162d6dc2e9d55f378205ce_8b62a6a4-9bdc-4331-a25f-c6cacb29d435.jpg?v=1788953993","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/allied-7255-ip8-1-cap-screw-tp8-torx-plus-m2-5-drilling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
