Kennametal 1021393 T15 Torx Cap Screw Indexables

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1021393 is a T15 Torx drive cap screw designed to secure indexable inserts in milling and turning toolholders. This small-format fastener plays a critical role in indexable tooling systems: a properly torqued insert screw holds the cutting insert in precise position under high cutting forces, and a worn or damaged screw should be replaced before insert failure occurs. Weighing approximately 0.0009 pounds, the 1021393 is a low-weight consumable item that should be kept on hand as a standard service spare in any shop running Kennametal indexable tooling.

This cap screw is suited for use in professional machine shop and manufacturing environments wherever Kennametal indexable milling or turning toolholders are in service. Insert screws are a common maintenance item — they are subject to thread wear and head damage over repeated insert changes and should be inspected and replaced as part of routine toolholder servicing. Purchasing in the minimum order quantity of 10 units ensures an adequate supply for ongoing toolholder maintenance.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Kennametal indexable milling and turning toolholders that accept T15 Torx insert clamping screws. Confirm toolholder specifications before ordering to ensure correct screw size and thread match.

Installation Notes

Insert screw replacement is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts or insert screws. Use a quality T15 Torx driver or key to seat the screw — do not use worn or incorrect bits, as head damage will make removal difficult. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's torque specifications for the specific toolholder model being serviced.
