Walter 5042165 Hollow Pin Indexable Turning Tools RS116

Product Description

The WALTER 5042165 is a hollow spare pin designed for indexable turning tools. This small but critical component secures indexable inserts in turning tool holders during machining operations. Without a properly functioning pin, insert seating becomes unreliable, which affects cut accuracy and tool life. The 5042165 is sold as a single-unit spare part and is intended to be ordered at a minimum quantity of 10 units per purchase. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with WALTER indexable turning systems should keep these pins on hand to minimize unplanned downtime during insert changes.

This pin is suited for use in metal-cutting and general machining environments where indexable turning toolholders are standard equipment. It applies to both production floor and job shop settings. The RS116 industry standard designation indicates compatibility within that tooling specification family. Technicians performing routine insert indexing or toolholder maintenance are the primary installers of this component.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the turning tool is removed from the machine spindle and all motion has stopped before replacing the pin. Use the appropriate pin punch or manufacturer-specified installation tool to seat the pin without deforming the hollow bore. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's service documentation for proper insert clamping procedure after pin replacement.
