BENEFITS

  • Splined Body:
    The splined body provides increased torque-to-turn resistance over conventional non-splined inserts.
  • Near-Flush Installation:
    The low-profile head provides near-flush seating without special hole preparation.
  • Wide Grip Range:
    The range of product within the DK
    TM series provides a placing capability in material thickness ranging from .020" (0.5mm) to 0.312" (7.9mm).
  • High-Strength Threads:
    The threads are rolled into the product creating a work-hardened surface providing high-strength. load-bearing threads.
  • Lead-In Chamfer:
    The lead-in chamfer on the body provides ease of insertion into the work piece.
