Description
The SECO 02440235 is a countersunk cap screw designed to secure indexable inserts and toolholders in turning applications. Part of the Seco-Capto series, this M4-threaded fastener uses a TP15 Torx Plus drive, which provides higher torque transfer and reduced cam-out compared to standard Torx drives. At 11.00 millimeters in overall length, it is sized for the clamping geometry common to indexable turning toolholders. Installation requires a T15P-2 key or compatible driver. This screw is a consumable hardware component that machining shops and toolroom technicians replace as part of routine insert change cycles or when existing screws show wear or thread damage.
The 02440235 is used in turning setups where indexable carbide inserts are held in place by a single cap screw through the insert pocket. It is compatible with insert and toolholder assemblies in the Seco-Capto system. Typical installations are found in CNC turning centers and manual lathes where precise clamping torque on the insert screw is critical to insert seating and cutting performance. Machinists and toolroom technicians handling regular insert indexing will encounter this screw as a standard service item.
Key Features
- TP15 Torx Plus drive provides higher torque transfer and reduced cam-out versus standard hex or Torx drives
- Countersunk head geometry seats flush within the insert pocket for proper insert clamping
- M4 thread size matches standard Seco-Capto insert clamping hardware specifications
- 11.00 mm overall length sized for Seco-Capto turning toolholder pocket depth
- Compatible with T15P-2 key or equivalent driver
- Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement without purchasing in bulk
Compatibility
Designed for use with indexable inserts and toolholders in the Seco-Capto turning system. Compatible with insert and toolholder assemblies requiring an M4 countersunk cap screw with a TP15 Torx Plus drive.
Installation Notes
Installation and replacement of indexable cap screws should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before accessing the toolholder. Use the correct T15P-2 Torx Plus key to avoid rounding the drive recess. Do not over-torque the screw; follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specification for M4 insert screws to avoid thread stripping or insert damage.
