Kennametal 1019640 Cap Screw Indexables Hex Socket

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1019640 is a flat-head cap screw designed to secure indexable inserts and shims in milling and turning toolholders. The 1/16-inch hex socket drive allows precise torque application with a standard hex key, keeping inserts firmly seated during cutting operations. This type of fastener is a consumable component in indexable tooling systems - it should be replaced any time thread damage, stripping, or deformation is detected. Installation and replacement are performed by machinists and tool-crib technicians as part of routine insert change procedures.

This cap screw is used in indexable milling and turning applications where shim and insert retention hardware must meet tight tolerances. It is suited for production machining environments where indexable toolholders require periodic hardware replacement to maintain insert seating integrity. The flat head profile and hex socket drive are standard configurations across a wide range of indexable toolholder bodies.

Key Features

• Flat head profile for flush seating in indexable toolholder pockets
• 1/16-inch hex socket drive for controlled torque with a standard hex key
• Compatible with shim retention in indexable tooling systems
• Suited for both milling and turning indexable toolholder types
• Sold individually - order in multiples of 10 per minimum order requirement

Compatibility

Designed for use with indexable milling and turning toolholders that use shim hardware requiring flat-head cap screw retention. Confirm thread specification and socket size against the toolholder manufacturer documentation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing inserts or replacing retention hardware. Use a calibrated torque driver sized for a 1/16-inch hex socket to avoid stripping the screw head or damaging the toolholder thread. Inspect the mating threads in the toolholder body for damage before installing a new screw. Discard any screw showing signs of thread deformation, corrosion, or head rounding.
