Wedges are the clamping components that secure cutting inserts in place within the tool body, maintaining precise insert positioning during milling operations. When a wedge wears, deforms, or is lost during insert changes, replacing it restores the clamping integrity of the tool body. Installation is performed by machinists and tooling technicians as part of routine insert maintenance. The part weighs approximately 0.28 pounds, consistent with a small precision-machined clamping component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wedge is intended for use in metal cutting applications where KSOM series indexable end mills are deployed. The KSOM platform is typically found in face milling, shoulder milling, and general-purpose milling setups in production and job shop environments. Replacing worn or damaged wedges restores full clamping force on the insert and helps prevent insert movement or ejection during cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement wedge for KENNAMETAL KSOM series indexable end mill bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintains insert clamping force and positional accuracy in the pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, precision-machined component for reliable fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at approximately 0.28 pounds for easy handling during tool maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 23242100 for procurement and catalog classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with KENNAMETAL KSOM series indexable end mill tool bodies requiring wedge-style insert clamping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Before servicing the tool body, ensure the machine spindle is powered down and locked out per facility LOTO procedures. Use the correct torque wrench and manufacturer-specified fasteners when securing the wedge; do not substitute hardware. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for wear or damage before installing the new wedge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: KSOM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndexable Tool Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: End Mill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.28 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2489443\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747239788850,"sku":"2489443","price":175.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5a0a720674591b1e7a5179bb552324cc.jpg?v=1788878026","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-2489443-indexable-end-mill-wedge-ksom","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
