Kennametal 1018993 Lock Pin Indexable Turning Milling

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1018993 is a lock pin designed to secure indexable inserts in turning and milling tool holders. Lock pins apply clamping force to hold the cutting insert firmly in its pocket during machining operations, preventing movement under cutting loads. This component is a consumable hardware item used by machinists and tooling technicians across CNC turning centers, manual lathes, and milling applications. The 1018993 weighs 0.7275 pounds per package and is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

This lock pin is suited for use in production and job-shop environments where indexable tooling systems are maintained on a regular basis. It is a standard replacement hardware item for tooling setups that experience wear or loss of the original pin. Applications span both roughing and finishing operations where insert retention hardware must be kept in serviceable condition to maintain cutting geometry and tool life.
