Kennametal 1017010 Indexable Shim Sm Diamond 0.5 in Ic

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1017010 is a solid carbide shim designed for indexable tooling systems used in milling and turning applications. This SM-style shim seats beneath the cutting insert in the tool pocket, providing a stable, repeatable foundation that protects the tool body from wear and impact. It is compatible with diamond-shaped inserts and features a 0.5 inch inscribed circle with a thickness of 0.188 inches. Solid carbide construction resists deformation under high cutting loads and extends pocket life between replacements. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with indexable milling and turning setups are the primary installers of this component.

This shim is suited for use in both milling and turning operations where diamond-shaped indexable inserts with a 0.5 inch inscribed circle are used. It is applicable in production machining environments, job shop turning centers, and vertical or horizontal milling platforms. The SM shim style is a common configuration found in a range of indexable tool holders. Proper shim selection ensures insert seating geometry is maintained and prevents pocket damage during heavy or interrupted cutting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians during insert changes or tool pocket maintenance. Before replacing the shim, ensure the machine is fully powered down and all axes are locked or secured. Clean the tool pocket thoroughly before seating the new shim to ensure flat, debris-free contact. Follow the tool holder manufacturer torque specifications for the insert clamping screw to avoid shim displacement during cutting.
