Allied Machine 8IP-9 TP9 Torx Plus Driver Indexable Drilling

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 8IP-9 is a TP9 Torx Plus drive driver designed for seating and removing indexable inserts in drilling applications. It is compatible with TP9 Torx Plus socket-head screws and is part of the T-A series tooling system. Weighing 1 pound, this driver provides the proper torque interface for insert screw installation without damaging drive surfaces. It is used by machinists and toolroom technicians working with Allied Machine indexable drilling systems who require a dedicated, correctly sized driver for reliable and repeatable insert changes.

This driver is suited for use in metalworking environments where T-A series indexable drill bodies are in service. It is intended for shops performing insert changes on drilling toolholders, whether on the machine or at a toolroom bench. The T-A series is a widely used modular drilling platform, and having a correctly matched TP9 driver on hand reduces the risk of cam-out, stripped screws, and insert misseating during changeovers.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING T-A series indexable drilling toolholders that use TP9 Torx Plus drive insert clamping screws, specifically compatible with screw part number 7375-IP9-10.

Installation Notes

Insert driver changes on indexable drilling tools should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the spindle fully stopped and the machine locked out per applicable safety procedures. Use this driver with the correct TP9 Torx Plus screw only — using a mismatched driver size risks damaging the screw head and the toolholder pocket. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specifications for the insert clamping screw; do not overtighten by feel alone.
