Komet 6295012000 Clamp Screw TP8 Torx Plus M2.6

Product Description

The KOMET 6295012000 is a clamp screw designed to secure indexable inserts in compatible toolholders and boring systems. It uses a TP8 Torx Plus drive, which delivers higher torque transfer and better resistance to cam-out compared to standard Torx or hex drives. The M2.6 thread pitch is sized specifically for the small-format clamping systems found in precision boring, turning, and milling toolholders that accept indexable carbide inserts. This fastener is a consumable replacement part used by machinists and tool-room technicians during insert changes on the shop floor.

This clamp screw is intended for use in indexable tooling systems that require M2.6 threaded insert-clamping hardware. It is a direct replacement fastener for maintaining cutting tool assemblies in CNC turning centers, machining centers, and manual lathes where indexable insert holders are in service. Proper torque application during installation is critical to insert seating and cutting performance. This item is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

Key Features

• TP8 Torx Plus drive for high torque transfer and reduced cam-out risk
• M2.6 thread size matched to small-format indexable toolholder clamping systems
• OEM-style replacement fastener for maintaining indexable cutting tool assemblies
• Minimum order quantity of 5 units supports stocking as a shop consumable

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement clamp screw for indexable toolholders and boring systems requiring M2.6 threaded insert-clamping fasteners with a TP8 Torx Plus drive.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool-room technician following the toolholder manufacturer's torque specifications for M2.6 insert clamp screws. Always index or replace the cutting insert with the machine powered off and in a safe, locked-out state. Use a calibrated TP8 Torx Plus key or driver to avoid fastener damage. Do not substitute a standard Torx T8 driver, as the Torx Plus geometry requires a matching driver for proper engagement.
