Ingersoll Cutting Tools 7000086 Insert Cap Screw T15 6-32

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 7000086 is a flat-head cap screw designed to secure indexable inserts in cutting tool holders. It features a T15 Torx drive and a 6-32 inch thread, with an overall length of 0.353 inches. Machined to OEM dimensions, this screw provides the clamping force needed to keep inserts seated accurately during turning, milling, or boring operations. Machinists and toolroom technicians rely on this style of fastener to maintain insert position under cutting loads, where a loose or damaged screw can affect surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and tool life.

This cap screw is used in machine shops and manufacturing environments wherever indexable insert tooling requires hardware replacement. Insert screws see regular wear from repeated index cycles and torque application. Keeping a supply on hand reduces downtime when a screw strips or is lost during a tool change. The minimum order quantity is 10 pieces, sold individually per package.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cap screw compatible with indexable insert toolholders requiring a 6-32 thread, T15 Torx drive, flat head fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians during insert indexing or replacement. Use a calibrated T15 Torx driver or torque wrench with the correct bit to apply accurate clamping torque - refer to the toolholder manufacturer's torque specification for the specific holder in use. Inspect the threaded pocket in the toolholder before installing a new screw; a damaged pocket thread will not hold the insert securely. Never use an impact driver on insert screws, as over-torquing can shear the screw or damage the pocket.
