Kennametal 1022489 T9 Torx Driver Indexable End Mills

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1022489 is a T9 Torx drive driver designed for securing indexable inserts in end mill toolholders. This small-format driver provides the correct drive interface for tightening and loosening insert screws on indexable cutting tools, ensuring proper clamp force without stripping the screw head. At 0.14 pounds, it is a lightweight bench and service tool kept close at hand during insert changes. The T9 Torx configuration is specifically matched to insert screws used in KIPR-RP style toolholders, reducing the risk of cam-out and screw damage during routine insert indexing.

This driver is intended for use in machine shops, tool cribs, and metalworking production environments where indexable end mills are regularly serviced. It is compatible with KIPR-RP toolholder style inserts and is designed to work with insert screws including screw compatibility reference 191.924 and RPGN 06 series inserts. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this driver during planned insert changes between operations or at scheduled tooling intervals. It is sold as a single unit and is intended as a direct replacement or supplemental driver for shops running KENNAMETAL indexable end mill systems.

Installation Notes

Insert driver changes are performed by machinists or toolroom technicians as part of routine indexable tooling maintenance. Before changing inserts, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped, locked out, and the toolholder is secured in a vise or fixture to prevent movement. Use only the correct T9 Torx driver to avoid stripping the insert screw head. Apply steady, controlled torque when seating insert screws and refer to the toolholder manufacturer specifications for proper seating procedure.
