Ingersoll Cutting Tools 7000517 Insert Cap Screw T15 Torx

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 7000517 is a cap screw designed to secure indexable inserts in milling toolholders. It features a T15 Torx drive and an M4 x 0.7 thread, with an overall length of 0.354 inches. This screw is engineered to hold inserts firmly under the cutting forces encountered in milling operations, maintaining precise insert positioning and seat contact. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup personnel install and replace these screws as part of routine indexable tooling maintenance.

This cap screw is used in indexable milling applications where insert retention hardware must be replaced due to wear, cross-threading, or stripping. It is a direct-fit replacement for insert screw SM40-093-20. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it practical to keep a supply on hand in a machine shop or field service kit. Suitable for light-duty and production milling environments wherever M4 x 0.7 insert screws are required.

Key Features

• T15 Torx drive reduces cam-out risk during insert changes compared to hex socket drives
• M4 x 0.7 thread pitch matches standard indexable milling toolholder insert pockets
• 0.354-inch overall length fits standard insert pocket screw holes
• Direct replacement for insert screw SM40-093-20
• Sold per unit with a minimum order quantity of 10, supporting shop stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement for insert screw SM40-093-20. Compatible with indexable milling toolholders that use an M4 x 0.7 thread insert screw with a T15 Torx drive. Verify thread size, length, and drive type against the toolholder specification before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians during indexable insert changes. Always remove the toolholder from the spindle and ensure the machine is in a locked-out, de-energized state before replacing insert screws. Use a calibrated T15 Torx driver or torque wrench set to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque value for M4 insert screws. Do not over-torque, as this can strip the thread or fracture the screw, and do not reuse visibly damaged screws.
