Installation Notes

This clamp is installed and replaced by machinists or toolroom technicians during insert indexing or changeover. Always ensure the toolholder is removed from the machine spindle or turret and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before servicing clamping components. Use the appropriate torque wrench and manufacturer-specified clamp screw to avoid damaging the clamp seat or insert pocket. Inspect the clamp and seating surfaces for wear or debris before installing a new indexable insert.
