Kennametal 1931573 Cap Screw Indexable Insert TP15 Torx Plus

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1931573 is a cap screw designed to secure indexable inserts on cutting tool bodies used in milling, turning, and boring operations. It uses a Torx Plus TP15 drive, which provides better torque transfer and reduced cam-out risk compared to standard hex drives. This screw is a direct replacement component for toolholders and cutter bodies that accept TP15-drive insert clamping screws. Installation is performed by machinists and toolroom technicians during routine insert indexing or replacement cycles.

This cap screw is used in metalworking and machining environments wherever indexable insert tooling is deployed. It is a consumable maintenance item kept on hand at CNC machining centers, turning cells, and milling operations. Facilities running high-volume production benefit from maintaining an adequate quantity of these screws, as insert screws are subject to wear, thread damage, and occasional breakage during insert changes. The screw ships individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 10 units per order.

Key Features

• Torx Plus TP15 drive reduces cam-out during tightening and removal
• Designed specifically for clamping indexable inserts to toolholder bodies
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds, suitable for high-volume stocking
• Direct OEM-style replacement for worn or damaged insert clamping screws
• UNSPSC Code 31161500 for procurement system classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cap screw for indexable insert toolholders and cutter bodies requiring a Torx Plus TP15 drive insert clamping screw.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom personnel during insert indexing or toolholder maintenance. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts or replacing clamping screws. Use a calibrated Torx Plus TP15 key or driver and follow the toolholder manufacturer's torque specification for the screw. Do not reuse screws that show signs of thread damage, head deformation, or drive recess wear.
