Hertel H00481515 Screw for Indexables Insert

Product Description

The HERTEL H00481515 is a replacement screw designed for indexable cutting tools, specifically used to secure inserts in threading toolholders. This small but critical fastener keeps indexable inserts locked in position during machining operations, maintaining proper insert seating and cutting geometry. It is a hardware consumable used in CNC and manual turning, milling, and threading applications. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and production setup personnel install these screws as part of routine insert changes or when a clamping screw becomes damaged or lost during tool maintenance.

This screw is intended for use with indexable inserts in threading tool configurations. It fits toolholders that rely on a screw-clamp retention method rather than a top clamp or lever-lock system. Typical applications include turning centers, lathes, and machining centers where threading inserts are regularly indexed or replaced. The part ships individually and is ordered in multiples of five, making it practical to stock as a replacement consumable alongside threading insert inventory.

Key Features

• Designed for screw-on indexable insert retention in threading toolholders
• Lightweight at approximately 0.017 pounds, consistent with precision fastener construction
• Ordered in multiples of five to support stocking as a consumable replacement part
• Direct OEM-style replacement for worn or missing clamping screws in compatible HERTEL tooling

Compatibility

Designed for use with indexable inserts in HERTEL threading tool systems that use screw-clamp insert retention. Confirm toolholder model and screw drive specification before ordering to ensure proper fit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians during insert indexing or replacement. Before removing or installing the clamping screw, ensure the machine spindle is locked out and the tool is secured in a vise or tool block. Use the correct Torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid stripping the screw head. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the insert seat or screw threads.
