Kennametal 1502715 Torx Cap Screw Indexable Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1502715 is a Torx-drive cap screw designed to secure indexable inserts in milling and turning toolholders. These screws are a standard hardware component in indexable cutting tool assemblies, providing the clamping force needed to hold carbide or cermet inserts firmly in their pockets during machining operations. Each screw is a direct replacement for worn or damaged fasteners in compatible KENNAMETAL indexable toolholders. The package contains 10 screws, making them practical to stock as a consumable shop item. Weighing 0.01 pounds per unit, these are compact, precision fasteners suited for production and maintenance environments.

Indexable toolholder cap screws are used wherever indexable insert tooling is employed, including CNC turning centers, milling machines, and manual lathes. Machinists and tool crib personnel replace these screws routinely as part of insert changes, toolholder maintenance, and setup operations. The Torx drive type reduces cam-out risk compared to hex drives, which is particularly useful in high-repetition insert-change workflows. These screws are appropriate for both roughing and finishing applications where insert security is critical.

Key Features

• Torx drive reduces cam-out during insert changes
• Compatible with indexable milling and turning toolholders
• Sold in a package of 10 screws for convenient stocking
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds, precision-machined for consistent fit
• UNSPSC Code 31161500 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as a hardware replacement component for indexable milling and turning toolholders that accept this cap screw style. Verify insert pocket screw thread size and Torx drive specification against your specific toolholder before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool crib technician familiar with indexable tooling systems. Before replacing insert screws, ensure the machine spindle is locked out and all toolholders are removed from the machine per your facility lockout-tagout procedures. Use the correct Torx driver or key to avoid rounding the drive recess. Do not overtighten, as cap screws in indexable toolholders have manufacturer-specified torque requirements that should be confirmed in the original toolholder documentation.
