Ingersoll Cutting Tools 7005993 Insert Screw T15 Torx M4

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 7005993 is a T15 Torx insert screw designed to secure indexable cutting inserts in milling, turning, and boring toolholders. This flat-head screw uses an M4 thread and measures approximately 0.315 inches in overall length (8.00 mm). At 0.01 pounds, it is a precision fastener built for repeatable clamping force in metal-cutting applications. Machinists and tooling technicians rely on properly rated insert screws to maintain insert seating and prevent insert movement during high-load cutting passes. Using the correct screw for the toolholder is essential to consistent performance and tool life.

This insert screw is intended for use in indexable toolholders that specify an M4 thread and T15 Torx drive. It is suited for CNC machining centers, lathes, and manual machines where indexable carbide or cermet inserts are retained by a clamping screw. Typical applications include production turning, face milling, and profiling operations in shops running ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. It ships in a single-piece quantity, making it practical for replacing worn or stripped screws on existing tooling without purchasing a bulk pack.

Key Features

• T15 Torx drive for precise torque application and reduced cam-out risk
• M4 thread size for compatibility with standard indexable toolholder insert pockets
• Flat head design seats flush within the toolholder pocket recess
• 8.00 mm overall length for correct engagement depth in standard insert pockets
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds - precision-machined fastener with minimal mass
• Single-piece minimum order quantity for easy replacement sourcing

Compatibility

Designed for indexable toolholders requiring an M4 thread insert screw with a T15 Torx drive and flat head. Verify toolholder specifications before ordering to confirm thread size, screw length, and drive type match the existing pocket design.

Installation Notes

Insert screw installation and replacement is typically performed by a machinist or tooling technician. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before accessing the toolholder. Use a calibrated T15 Torx driver or torque wrench set to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque value to avoid over-tightening, which can strip threads or fracture the screw. Inspect the insert pocket and thread bore for debris or damage before installing a replacement screw.
