Installation Notes

This key driver is used by machinists and toolroom personnel during indexable insert changeout — not during active cutting. Always power down and lock out the machine before performing any insert indexing or tip removal. Use the driver only as intended for the KenTIP interface to avoid damage to the toolholder pocket or insert seating surfaces. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's tip-change procedure for proper torque and seating confirmation.
