Sandvik Coromant 5757246 Cap Screw Torx Plus M8

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5757246 is a Torx Plus drive cap screw designed for use with indexable tooling systems. It features an M8 thread size and is built to secure cutting inserts and adapters in precision machining applications. This type of fastener is a critical component in CNC and manual turning, milling, and boring setups where insert retention must remain consistent under high cutting forces. The screw is sold individually and is intended as a direct replacement or spare for indexable toolholders and adapters that use this thread specification. Weight is 0.25 pounds per unit.

This cap screw is suited for use in metalworking environments where SANDVIK COROMANT indexable tooling systems are in service. It is compatible with adapters that require an M8 Torx Plus drive fastener per industry standard 174.3-830. Typical installation scenarios include production machine shops, tool crib restocking, and field replacement on turning centers or machining centers. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup personnel are the primary users of this fastener.
