Iscar 7060253 Shim Screw Indexable Tooling

Product Description

The ISCAR 7060253 is a shim screw designed for use with indexable cutting toolholders. Shim screws secure the shim seat beneath the insert pocket, maintaining precise cutting geometry and preventing pocket damage during indexing operations. This hardware is a small but critical component in indexable tooling systems, ensuring consistent insert seating and repeatable tool performance. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with indexable milling, turning, or boring toolholders rely on correctly torqued shim screws to protect the body of the toolholder from insert wear-through over time.

This shim screw is intended for use in indexable tooling assemblies where a shim is positioned between the cutting insert and the toolholder pocket. It is used in machine shop environments across CNC turning centers, milling machines, and boring applications. Replacement of worn or damaged shim screws is standard maintenance practice when reconditioning indexable toolholders. The part ships individually and is sold in minimum order quantities of 10 units.

Key Features

• Secures shim seat in indexable toolholder pockets
• Maintains accurate insert positioning and cutting geometry
• Protects toolholder pocket surface from direct insert contact
• Lightweight construction at 0.1 pounds per unit
• Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement shim screw for ISCAR indexable toolholders requiring shim hardware. Verify toolholder model and screw specification before ordering to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Shim screw installation and toolholder service should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with indexable cutting tool systems. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before servicing any toolholder assembly. Use the correct driver and manufacturer-specified torque procedure for shim screws to avoid stripping threads or cracking the shim seat. Do not substitute screws of differing thread pitch or head geometry.
