Carmex S-06 Insert Screw Indexable Threading Tools

Product Description

The CARMEX S-06 is an insert screw designed to secure indexable inserts in threading toolholders. This small-format fastener provides the clamping force needed to hold cutting inserts firmly in place during threading operations on lathes and turning centers. Weighing just 0.01 pounds, it is a precision hardware component matched to inserts with an inscribed circle of 0.15625 inches. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators install this screw as part of routine insert indexing and replacement. It corresponds to industry standard number S6.

This insert screw is intended for use with indexable threading toolholders that accept a compatible insert clamping screw. It is suited for production turning environments where threading inserts are indexed frequently and consistent clamping integrity is required. The S-06 is a consumable hardware item typically stocked alongside indexable inserts to minimize tooling downtime during insert changes.

Installation Notes

Insert screws should be installed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and de-energize the machine tool before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct Torx or hex key driver specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid stripping the screw head. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the insert seat or screw threads.
