Kennametal 1016822 Turning Indexable Shim Sm Style

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1016822 is an SM-style shim designed for indexable turning toolholders. Shims seat beneath the insert in the toolholder pocket, providing a hardened bearing surface that protects the pocket from insert-seating damage and maintains precise insert positioning during cutting operations. This part is a consumable component replaced during routine insert changes or when pocket wear is detected. It weighs 0.004 pounds and is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with indexable turning setups rely on properly fitted shims to extend toolholder service life and hold consistent cutting geometry.

This shim is suited for CNC and manual turning applications where indexable carbide inserts are used. It fits within the insert pocket of compatible turning toolholders and is intended for use in production and job-shop environments. The SM shim style corresponds to a specific pocket geometry — confirm shim style and toolholder series before ordering. Noted toolholder compatibility from manufacturer data includes the CSDPN103 toolholder series.

Key Features

• SM shim style matches specific indexable turning toolholder pocket geometry
• Hardened shim surface protects toolholder pocket from insert-seating wear
• Maintains accurate insert height and positioning for consistent cutting performance
• Lightweight at 0.004 pounds — minimal mass addition to toolholder assembly
• Sold per piece with a minimum order quantity of 10 units

Compatibility

Compatible with the CSDPN103 turning toolholder series as stated in manufacturer data. Verify shim style (SM) and toolholder pocket specification before ordering to confirm fitment with other toolholder models.

Installation Notes

Shim installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians during insert indexing or toolholder maintenance. Ensure the toolholder is removed from the machine and the cutting insert is fully removed before replacing the shim. Seat the shim flat in the pocket and confirm it is fully bedded before reinstalling the insert and clamping screw. Do not reuse a shim that shows cracking, deformation, or erosion of the bearing surface.
