Kennametal 1021417 Cap Screw T15 Torx Indexable

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1021417 is a T15 Torx cap screw designed to secure indexable inserts in milling and turning toolholders. This small-format fastener is a critical component in indexable tooling systems, providing the clamping force needed to keep carbide or ceramic inserts seated precisely during cutting operations. At 0.0015 pounds, the screw is lightweight but engineered to the tolerances required for repeatable insert seating. Sold individually, it is ordered in minimum quantities of 10. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup personnel typically stock these screws alongside their indexable insert inventory.

This cap screw is intended for use in indexable milling and turning toolholders that accept a T15 Torx drive fastener. It is suited to production machining environments where insert changes are frequent and reliable hardware is essential to maintaining tool geometry and surface finish. The T15 Torx drive reduces the risk of cam-out during tightening compared to hex drives, making it a preferred configuration in high-cycle insert-change applications.

Key Features

• T15 Torx drive reduces cam-out risk during insert clamping
• Compatible with indexable insert hardware for milling and turning applications
• Lightweight at 0.0015 pounds for easy handling in toolroom environments
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units
• UNSPSC Code 31161500 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cap screw for KENNAMETAL indexable milling and turning toolholders that require a T15 Torx insert-clamping fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolroom technicians or CNC machine operators during indexable insert changes. Always power down and de-energize the machine before accessing the toolholder. Use a calibrated T15 Torx driver or torx key and follow the toolholder manufacturer's insert clamping procedure. Do not substitute fasteners of a different drive type or thread specification, as improper hardware can compromise insert seating and create a safety hazard.
