Kennametal 1022961 Indexable Insert Screw Milling Turning

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1022961 is a replacement screw designed for indexable tooling systems used in milling and turning applications. This small but critical fastener secures indexable inserts and shims in place within the tool body, maintaining precise cutting geometry during machining operations. Proper clamping of inserts directly affects tool life, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy, making a correctly specified screw essential. Weighing approximately 0.0066 pounds, this screw is engineered to the tolerances required for indexable tooling hardware. It is sold in a package quantity of 10, making it practical to stock for shop use or field service.

This screw is intended for use in indexable milling and turning tool assemblies where shim compatibility is required. It is a hardware-level component typically sourced as a spare or replacement when original screws are lost, damaged, or stripped during insert changes. Machine shops, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup personnel are the primary installers. It is suited for both production floor environments and job shop operations running indexable toolholders.

Compatibility

Designed for use with indexable milling and turning toolholders that require shim hardware, per supplier-stated attributes. Specific compatible tool body model numbers were not provided in the input data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolroom technicians or CNC setup personnel during insert indexing or replacement. Always ensure the tool body is removed from the machine spindle and the machine is in a safe, de-energized state before handling cutting tool components. Use the correct Torx or hex key driver as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid stripping the screw head. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the screw, shim, or insert seating surface.
