Kennametal 1022117 Lock Pin 3/32 Inch Hex Socket

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1022117 is a lock pin with a 3/32 inch hex socket drive, designed to secure indexable inserts in turning toolholders. This small but critical component maintains proper insert seating during cutting operations, preventing insert movement that can lead to dimensional error or tool damage. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators install these pins as part of routine insert changes or when replacing worn or damaged locking hardware. The pin weighs approximately 0.0066 pounds, making it a lightweight consumable stocked in quantity for high-turnover tooling operations.

This lock pin is used in indexable turning tool assemblies where inserts are secured via a hex socket locking mechanism. It is suited for production turning environments, job shops, and maintenance toolrooms that run KENNAMETAL indexable toolholders. Having replacement lock pins on hand prevents downtime during insert indexing, particularly in high-volume turning operations where hardware wear is common.

Installation Notes

Lock pin installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is removed from the turret or tool post before servicing locking hardware. Use a calibrated hex key of the correct size to avoid stripping the socket. Do not over-torque the lock pin, as this can damage the insert pocket or the pin itself.
