Seco 00089743 Cap Screw Indexables TP10 Torx Plus

Product Description

The SECO 00089743 is a TP10 Torx Plus drive cap screw designed for securing indexable inserts on cutting tools. These small-format fasteners are purpose-built for the clamping systems used in indexable milling, turning, and boring toolholders. The Torx Plus drive geometry provides better torque transfer and reduced cam-out compared to standard hex or Torx drives, which matters in production environments where inserts are swapped frequently. Machinists and toolroom technicians who regularly rotate indexable carbide inserts rely on correctly spec'd replacement screws to maintain proper clamp force and insert seating.

This cap screw is used wherever a TP10 Torx Plus fastener is required to retain an indexable insert in its pocket. Typical applications include CNC turning centers, milling machines, and boring bars equipped with SECO or compatible indexable toolholders. The small size and precise thread form are critical to maintaining correct insert position and cutting geometry. These screws are commonly stocked in toolroom cabinets and kept on hand as consumable service hardware for high-volume insert change operations.

Key Features

• TP10 Torx Plus drive for improved torque transfer and reduced cam-out during insert changes
• Cap screw design engineered specifically for indexable insert retention applications
• Compact form factor suited to tight toolholder insert pockets
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds per unit, minimizing added mass at the toolholder

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cap screw for indexable toolholders requiring a TP10 Torx Plus drive fastener. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians during routine indexable insert changes. Ensure the toolholder insert pocket and screw threads are clean and free of chips or debris before seating the screw. Use a calibrated TP10 Torx Plus key or driver and apply the torque value specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not estimate or substitute a non-Torx Plus driver, as this can damage the screw head. Always power down and lock out the machine before performing insert changes.
