Sandvik Coromant 5763172 Cap Screw Torx Plus M2

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5763172 is a cap screw designed for securing indexable inserts in cutting toolholders. Manufactured to the ISO 5513 standard with an M2 thread size, this screw uses a Torx Plus drive interface, which delivers better torque transfer and reduced risk of drive damage compared to standard Torx profiles. It is a direct replacement-grade fastener used during insert changeovers on turning, milling, and boring toolholders. Machinists and CNC technicians working with indexable insert tooling rely on this type of screw to maintain precise insert seating and repeatable cutting geometry. Weight is 0.25 pounds per package.

This cap screw is suited for use in production machining environments where indexable insert toolholders require periodic maintenance or insert rotation. It is relevant in both shop floor and field-service scenarios where worn or stripped screws need replacement to restore proper clamping force on the insert. Facilities running high-volume turning or milling operations will typically keep these on hand as a standard consumable alongside insert stock.

Key Features

• M2 thread size per ISO industry standard 5513 020-53
• Torx Plus drive type for improved torque engagement and reduced cam-out
• Designed for toolholder hardware compatibility in indexable insert systems
• Lightweight at 0.25 pounds per package, suitable for bulk stocking
• Minimum order quantity of 10 units supports shop consumable replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cap screw for indexable insert toolholders requiring an M2 Torx Plus drive fastener per ISO 5513 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians during indexable insert changeover or toolholder maintenance. Always ensure the toolholder is removed from the machine spindle and any power or rotation is fully locked out before servicing insert clamping hardware. Use a calibrated Torx Plus driver of the correct size to avoid stripping the drive recess. Do not substitute a standard Torx driver, as this may damage the screw head and compromise insert clamping integrity.
