Tungaloy 6802581 Insert Screw Indexable Tooling

Product Description

The TUNGALOY 6802581 is an insert screw designed to secure indexable cutting inserts in compatible toolholders and milling or turning bodies. Insert screws are small but critical fasteners that clamp the insert firmly in its pocket, maintaining precise positioning during cutting operations. This screw is sized and threaded to match specific indexable tooling systems, and it is typically installed by machinists or toolroom technicians as part of routine insert changes or toolholder maintenance.

Insert screws see use across general machining environments including turning centers, milling machines, and boring applications where indexable toolholders are standard. They are replaced whenever a screw shows wear, stripping, or damage from repeated torquing cycles. Keeping spare insert screws on hand reduces downtime during insert indexing.

Key Features

• Designed for use with indexable insert toolholders
• Maintains accurate insert seating in the pocket during cutting
• Replacement screw suitable for routine toolholder maintenance
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement insert screw compatible with indexable toolholders requiring insert-type hardware. Verify thread size and drive type against your specific toolholder documentation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert screws are installed by machinists and toolroom technicians using the appropriate Torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Always remove chips and debris from the insert pocket before seating the new screw. Do not overtighten, as stripping the screw or pocket threads will damage the toolholder body. Replace any screw that shows signs of thread damage or a worn drive socket.
