Installation Notes

Insert screw installation and replacement should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing inserts or insert screws. Use only the specified 8IP-15 Torx Plus key driver to avoid stripping the drive recess. Do not reuse visibly damaged or deformed insert screws, as compromised fasteners can allow insert movement under cutting loads.
