Micro 100 16-1030 Torx Screw Indexable T15 M3.5

Product Description

The MICRO 100 16-1030 is a Torx screw designed for securing indexable inserts in cutting toolholders. It uses a T15 Torx drive and M3.5 thread, making it a direct fit for toolholders that require this screw specification. These screws are a consumable fastener in machining operations - they wear or strip over time and need periodic replacement to maintain proper insert clamping force. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with indexable milling, turning, or boring systems rely on exact-spec replacement screws to keep toolholders functioning correctly.

This screw is used in shop environments wherever indexable insert tooling is in service, including CNC machining centers, manual lathes, and boring operations. It is suited for both production and toolroom settings. When a clamping screw becomes damaged or lost, using the correct thread size and Torx size is critical to avoid cross-threading or inadequate clamping of the insert.

Key Features

• T15 Torx drive for positive engagement and reduced cam-out during tightening
• M3.5 thread size matches standard indexable toolholder clamping screw specs
• Compact, lightweight fastener at 0.01 pounds for easy stocking in quantity
• Direct replacement for worn, stripped, or lost indexable insert clamping screws

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement clamping screw for indexable toolholders requiring a T15 Torx drive, M3.5 thread specification. Verify toolholder documentation to confirm this screw spec before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a machinist or toolroom technician familiar with indexable toolholder service. Always remove the toolholder from the machine spindle before replacing the clamping screw. Use a calibrated T15 Torx key and follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specification - do not overtighten, as this can strip the thread or fracture the insert. Inspect the mating thread in the toolholder body before installing a new screw.
