Kennametal 2975401 Cap Screw Indexables TP9 Torx Plus

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2975401 is a cap screw designed to secure indexable inserts in face mills and shell mills. It uses a TP9 Torx Plus drive, which requires a DT9IP key or compatible driver for installation and removal. At 0.05 pounds, this is a precision fastener built for repeated use in indexable tooling systems where secure insert clamping is critical to cutting performance and dimensional accuracy. Proper torque and drive engagement keep inserts seated correctly during heavy milling operations.

This cap screw is intended for use in face mill and shell mill tooling systems that accept indexable inserts secured by a Torx Plus fastener. It is a hardware consumable typically stocked by CNC machinists, tool crib managers, and metalworking shops running indexable milling tools. When an insert is rotated or replaced, the cap screw is removed and reinstalled, making it a routine service item for production environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with indexable face mill and shell mill tooling that accepts TP9 Torx Plus cap screws for insert retention. Compatible driver is the DT9IP key. Verify fitment against your specific cutter body before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool crib technician. Always disengage the machine spindle and confirm the tool is fully stopped before servicing any indexable tooling. Use only the correct DT9IP Torx Plus driver to avoid stripping the screw head. Do not substitute standard Torx drivers, as Torx Plus geometry differs and can damage the fastener drive.
