Value Collection DLS-6 Differential Screw Indexable 10-24 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DLS-6 is a differential screw designed for use with indexable cutting tool assemblies. It features a dual-thread configuration with a 10-24 right-hand thread and a 10-32 left-hand thread, allowing the screw to clamp insert-holding components with controlled axial movement when rotated. The hex socket drive measures 3/32 inches and accepts a standard hex key for installation and removal. Overall length is 0.62 inches, with each thread section measuring 0.25 inches in length. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup personnel install this screw when servicing or assembling indexable insert clamp systems.

This differential screw is used in indexable toolholders and cutting tool bodies where a clamp-style insert retention system requires precise, low-profile fastening. The differential thread design generates mechanical advantage during tightening, which is common in indexable milling, turning, and boring tool assemblies. It is sold in minimum order quantities of 10 units, making it appropriate for shop stock, toolroom replenishment, or MRO supply programs that service multiple machines or toolholders simultaneously.

Key Features

• Dual-thread configuration: 10-24 right-hand thread and 10-32 left-hand thread for differential clamping action
• 3/32 inch hex socket drive for standard hex key installation
• Overall length of 0.62 inches with 0.25 inch thread engagement on each end
• Designed for clamp-type hardware in indexable tooling systems
• Industry standard number DLS-6 for cross-reference and direct replacement ordering
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit, suitable for high-volume stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement differential screw for indexable insert clamp systems requiring a DLS-6 industry standard screw with 10-24 right-hand and 10-32 left-hand thread configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with indexable toolholder assembly. Ensure the toolholder is removed from the machine spindle and all cutting power is off before servicing insert clamp components. Use a calibrated 3/32 inch hex key and do not over-torque, as differential screws in indexable assemblies are small-diameter fasteners subject to thread damage from excessive force. Inspect threads on both the screw and the toolholder body before reinstalling to ensure clean engagement.
