Kennametal 1018935 Non-threaded Lock Pin Indexable Tools

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1018935 is a non-threaded lock pin designed to secure indexable inserts in turning tool holders. Lock pins of this type provide the clamping force that holds a carbide or ceramic insert firmly in its pocket during metal-turning operations. Without a properly seated lock pin, insert movement under cutting loads causes premature wear, poor surface finish, and potential insert fracture. This pin is a precision-fit component intended for use by machinists and toolroom technicians working with indexable turning tool systems.

This lock pin is suited for use in indexable turning applications where a non-threaded, press-fit or friction-fit retention method is specified by the tool holder design. It is appropriate for both production turning environments and job shop operations. Always cross-reference the tool holder manufacturer documentation to confirm the correct pin geometry before installation.

Key Features

• Non-threaded design for press-fit or friction-fit insert retention in compatible tool holders
• Precision-machined to maintain consistent clamping force on indexable inserts
• Lightweight component at approximately 0.005 pounds for easy handling and storage
• Sold individually per package; order in multiples of 10
• UNSPSC Code 31162400 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement lock pin for KENNAMETAL indexable turning tool holders that specify a non-threaded lock pin retention style. Consult the tool holder documentation or KENNAMETAL product catalog to confirm fitment before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation of lock pins in indexable tool holders is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is removed from the turret or tool post before servicing any insert retention components. Use only the correct pin geometry specified for the tool holder to avoid insert movement during cutting. Inspect the pin and pocket for wear or damage at each insert index interval.
