Kennametal 1019656 Cap Screw for Indexables Hex Socket

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1019656 is a cap screw designed for indexable tooling applications in machining environments. It features a flat head with a 3/32 inch hex socket drive, providing secure fastening of indexable inserts and shims in milling and turning tool bodies. The screw is engineered to the tight tolerances required for indexable tooling, where consistent clamp force and precise seating directly affect cutting performance and insert life. Typically installed by machinists and tool room technicians, this fastener is a consumable replacement component kept on hand for routine tooling maintenance and insert changeouts.

This cap screw is suited for use in both milling and turning indexable tool holders where shim hardware requires secure fastening. It is a standard replacement fastener for shops running indexable insert tooling on CNC machining centers, lathes, and manual machines. The flat head profile seats flush within the tool body pocket, keeping the clamping geometry consistent with OEM specifications. Ordering in the minimum quantity of 10 ensures an adequate shop supply for high-volume insert change operations.

Key Features

• Flat head, hex socket drive accepts a 3/32 inch hex key for precise torque application
• Compatible with shim hardware in indexable milling and turning tool bodies
• Compact, low-profile flat head seats flush within indexable tool pockets
• Lightweight construction at approximately 0.0037 pounds per screw
• Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10 units

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement cap screw for indexable milling and turning tool bodies that use shim hardware and a 3/32 inch hex socket fastener. Confirm thread specification and head dimensions against the existing fastener before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool room personnel during indexable insert or shim replacement. Use a calibrated hex key or torque driver sized for 3/32 inch hex socket to avoid rounding the drive socket. Always de-energize and lock out the machine before servicing any tooling or inserts. Do not overtighten, as excessive clamp force can damage the shim seating surface or the tool body pocket threads.
