Kennametal 1985784 Cap Screw TP15 Torx Plus Indexables

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1985784 is a cap screw designed for indexable tooling systems used in milling and turning operations. It features a Torx Plus drive in size TP15, requiring a 15 IP key or driver for installation and removal. The screw secures indexable inserts and shims within compatible toolholders, maintaining precise insert positioning under cutting loads. This type of fastener is a consumable hardware component routinely stocked by machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup personnel working with indexable insert tooling.

This cap screw is intended for use in indexable milling and turning toolholders, specifically those built around the DTGN-KC toolholder style. It is also compatible with shim hardware within those assemblies. The Torx Plus drive format reduces cam-out risk during high-frequency insert changes, making it well suited for production environments where inserts are swapped regularly. Minimum order quantity is 5 pieces, sold in single-unit packaging increments.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician using the correct 15 IP Torx Plus key. Ensure the toolholder is removed from the machine spindle and all motion has stopped before changing inserts or tightening cap screws. Use only the specified driver to avoid rounding the Torx Plus socket. Do not exceed the torque recommendation provided in the toolholder manufacturer documentation, as over-tightening can damage the screw or toolholder seat.
