Kennametal 2050082 Cap Screw Torx Plus TP25 Indexable

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2050082 is a TP25 Torx Plus cap screw designed to secure indexable inserts in milling and turning toolholders. This button-head cap screw uses a 25 IP key driver and is engineered to the precise torque and dimensional tolerances required for indexable tooling applications. Proper clamping of the insert directly affects cutting performance, tool life, and machining accuracy, making the quality and fit of the retention hardware critical. At 0.05 pounds per unit, this screw is supplied individually and must be ordered in multiples of 10. It is compatible with NS-style toolholder platforms and the CM-72LP clamp system.

This cap screw is intended for use in professional metalworking environments where KENNAMETAL indexable toolholders are in service on milling and turning operations. It is a direct replacement or maintenance spare for toolholders requiring the NS holder style with CM-72LP clamp compatibility and N.3R insert compatibility. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup personnel working with KENNAMETAL indexable tooling will stock these screws as standard consumable hardware to support insert changes and toolholder rebuilds.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with indexable toolholder assembly procedures. Use only the correct 25 IP Torx Plus key to avoid rounding the drive recess. Ensure the toolholder pocket and clamp seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before installing the screw. Do not reuse visibly damaged or deformed screws, as compromised fasteners can cause insert movement during cutting.
