Kennametal 1099646 Cap Screw T10 Torx M3.5x0.6

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1099646 is a cap screw designed for use with indexable tooling systems. It features a T10 Torx drive and an M3.5 x 0.6 thread specification, providing secure clamping of indexable inserts in grooving and threading toolholders. This screw is part of the Top Notch series and is used to retain inserts and clamps within compatible NE-style toolholders. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup personnel install this hardware during insert changes and toolholder maintenance. The compact size and precise thread pitch make proper torque application critical during installation.

This cap screw is used in grooving and threading applications on CNC lathes and turning centers. It is compatible with NE-style toolholders in the Top Notch series and is designed to work with NG 2L and NG 2R complete inserts. It is suitable for production turning environments where indexable insert tooling is regularly serviced and inserts are rotated or replaced at scheduled intervals.

Installation Notes

This hardware is installed by machinists or toolroom technicians during indexable insert changes on CNC turning equipment. Always power down and lock out the machine before servicing toolholders or replacing insert clamping hardware. Use a calibrated T10 Torx driver or torque wrench bit to avoid stripping the drive recess. Do not reuse screws that show signs of thread damage or deformation.
