Kennametal 1021740 Indexable Clamp Screw 10-32 Thread

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1021740 is a replacement clamp screw designed for indexable tooling systems used in milling and turning applications. This hardware fastener features a 10-32 thread size and a 3/32 inch hex socket drive, making it a direct-fit component for securing indexable inserts and clamps on compatible tool bodies. Weighing approximately 0.04 pounds, the screw is a small but critical part of any indexable cutting system. Machinists and toolroom technicians rely on correctly specified clamp hardware to maintain insert seating, cutting geometry, and overall tool performance during metal removal operations.

This screw is suited for use in machine shops running CNC or manual lathes and milling centers where KENNAMETAL indexable toolholders require hardware service or replacement. When an insert clamp screw strips, breaks, or goes missing, replacing it with the correct OEM-specified fastener ensures proper clamping force and insert retention. The 10-32 thread and 3/32 inch hex socket spec must be matched exactly to avoid cross-threading or inadequate torque transfer. This part is sold in packages of 10, making it practical to keep on hand as shop consumable hardware stock.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement clamp screw for KENNAMETAL indexable milling and turning toolholders that use a 10-32 thread and 3/32 inch hex socket drive hardware configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Always ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is removed from the machine before servicing clamp hardware. Use a correctly sized 3/32 inch hex key to avoid rounding the socket. Do not over-torque the screw; refer to the toolholder manufacturer documentation for the appropriate clamping torque specification for this thread size.
