Kennametal 1321012 Clamp Stud Fix-perfect Hpm Indexable

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1321012 is a clamp stud designed for use with indexable turning and face/shell mill tooling in the Fix-Perfect series. This hardware component secures the clamp to the insert pocket, maintaining consistent clamping force and repeatability during indexable insert operations. The 1321012 is compatible with HPM-style toolholder configurations and is sold as a single-piece package. At 0.0084 pounds, it is a lightweight precision fastener suited to high-frequency replacement and maintenance cycles in production turning environments. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with Kennametal Fix-Perfect toolholders keep these studs on hand as standard consumable hardware.

This clamp stud is intended for use in face mill and shell mill applications using Fix-Perfect series toolholders with HPM-style compatibility. It is a direct hardware component for clamp assemblies in both production and jobshop CNC turning and milling setups. Shops running Kennametal Fix-Perfect tooling will encounter this stud as a routine replacement item when clamps or studs show wear, thread damage, or are lost during insert changes. It is appropriate for both light and heavy interrupted-cut applications where clamp integrity is critical to insert stability.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked. Use the appropriate torx or hex key driver specified for the toolholder series — do not over-torque, as stud thread damage will compromise clamp seating and insert stability. Inspect the mating clamp and pocket for wear or debris before installing a replacement stud. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's service documentation for proper seating and torque sequence.
