Kennametal 1020361 Cap Screw for Indexables

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1020361 is a flat-head cap screw engineered for securing indexable inserts and shims in tooling assemblies. This hardware component is used to clamp cutting inserts firmly in place within indexable tool bodies, maintaining precise positioning during metal removal operations. At 0.05 pounds, the screw is a lightweight but critical retention fastener. Proper clamping hardware at this level directly affects insert stability, surface finish quality, and tool life. Installation is performed by machinists and toolroom technicians as part of routine insert indexing and changeover procedures.

This cap screw is suited for use in both milling and turning indexable tooling setups. It is specifically compatible with shim-type hardware configurations within indexable tool bodies. Applications span general machining environments where indexable carbide or ceramic insert tooling is in service. The screw seats flush via its flat head geometry, keeping the clamping profile low and clear of the cutting zone.

Key Features

• Flat head design keeps clamping hardware below the cutting zone profile
• Compatible with shim hardware in indexable tooling assemblies
• Suitable for both milling and turning indexable tool bodies
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds for minimal tool body mass addition
• Sold individually; order in multiples of 10

Compatibility

Designed for use with shim-compatible indexable tooling in milling and turning applications. Confirm thread specification and drive size against the target tool body before ordering.

Installation Notes

This screw is installed by machinists or toolroom technicians during indexable insert changeover. Ensure the spindle or turret is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before accessing the tool body. Use the correct Torx or hex key driver specified by the tool body manufacturer to avoid rounding the drive recess. Do not over-torque clamping screws, as this can crack the insert or damage the screw threads.
