Hertel H08700452 Indexable Insert Clamping Screw

Product Description

The HERTEL H08700452 is a clamping screw designed for use with indexable inserts in threading tool applications. This small but critical hardware component secures cutting inserts to the toolholder body, maintaining precise insert positioning during threading operations. Weighing approximately 0.017 pounds, it is a lightweight steel-grade fastener built to withstand the clamping forces generated in CNC and manual threading setups. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and lathe operators rely on correct insert screws to prevent insert movement, protect the toolholder pocket, and maintain thread form accuracy across production runs.

This screw is suited for threading toolholders that accept indexable inserts requiring a dedicated clamping fastener. It is commonly used in turning centers, engine lathes, and CNC lathes where threading inserts are changed at regular intervals. Maintaining a stock of correct replacement screws reduces downtime during insert changes. The H08700452 is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 5 units, making it practical for shops that cycle through inserts frequently and need spare hardware on hand.

Installation Notes

Insert screw installation and replacement is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians as part of routine insert change procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before accessing the toolholder. Use the correct Torx or hex key driver specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid fastener damage. Do not overtighten or substitute screws from other toolholder families, as improper hardware can cause insert seating failure or screw shear during cutting.
