How long does it take to swap inserts on a multi-insert tool? A couple of minutes? Five? If you’re running multiple machines or handling frequent tool changes, that time adds up fast. Instead of cutting metal, you’re stuck swapping inserts, positioning new ones, and carefully torquing every screw—over and over again.
In high-production machining, insert changes are unavoidable, but they don’t have to slow you down—or risk improper torque. KYOCERA Precision Tools introduces the DTD500 Electric Torque Insert Driver, a single tool that makes insert swaps faster, easier, and more consistent, eliminating wasted time and guesswork.
Changing inserts isn’t as simple as loosening a single screw. A face mill might have six, eight, or more inserts to swap at once. Multiply that by every tool change in a shift, and suddenly, a big chunk of your day is spent on insert maintenance instead of machining.
The DTD500 Electric Torque Insert Driver combines electric screwdriving and precise torqueing in a single tool, drastically reducing the time it takes to remove and replace inserts. Instead of switching between tools, the DTD500 lets you:
When you’re dealing with multiple inserts per tool, cutting time off each swap means more time spent machining, less time fumbling with screws and wrenches.
What happens if you don’t get the torque right?
The DTD500 eliminates all these risks by ensuring every screw is tightened to spec, every time. No more overtightened screws breaking off in the cutter. No more loose inserts wrecking a part because they weren’t clamped properly. Just fast, consistent, repeatable insert changes.
