Vargus 70028 Indexable Insert Clamping Screw

Product Description

The VARGUS 70028 is a clamping screw designed to secure indexable inserts in compatible toolholders and cutting tool assemblies. These small-format fasteners are a critical component in indexable tooling systems, holding carbide or cermet inserts firmly against the tool seat during machining operations. The 70028 is a replacement or spare screw intended for maintenance of indexable milling, turning, or threading toolholders. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators typically keep a supply of these screws on hand to minimize downtime caused by damaged or worn clamping hardware.

This screw is suited for use in production machining environments where indexable tooling is standard. Common applications include CNC turning centers, milling machines, and manual lathes equipped with indexable insert toolholders. When an insert is indexed or replaced, the clamping screw is removed and reinstalled, making it a wear item that benefits from stocking in quantity. It is a maintenance-level component appropriate for any shop running indexable cutting tools.

Key Features

• Compact, lightweight design at 0.01 pounds per unit
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units, supporting bulk stocking
• Direct VARGUS replacement screw for maintaining indexable tooling assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement clamping screw for VARGUS indexable toolholders and compatible indexable insert systems. No specific model compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolroom technicians or machinists during routine insert indexing or toolholder maintenance. The machine spindle should be fully stopped and the tool removed from the machine or safely secured before replacing the clamping screw. Use the correct Torx or hex key driver specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid stripping the screw head. Do not overtighten, as clamping screws in indexable toolholders are engineered to precise torque thresholds that protect both the screw and the insert seat.
