Walter 5566295 Indexable Insert Screw Torx Plus Drive

Product Description

The WALTER 5566295 is a Torx Plus drive screw designed for securing indexable cutting inserts on milling, turning, and boring toolholders. This small but critical fastener holds inserts firmly in their pockets during cutting operations, maintaining precise positioning and preventing insert movement under load. The Torx Plus drive interface provides better torque transfer and reduces bit cam-out compared to standard Torx, which matters in tight toolholder pockets where access is limited. Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC machine operators use this screw as a direct replacement when servicing indexable tooling.

This screw is used in metalworking and machining environments where indexable insert toolholders require periodic screw replacement due to wear, stripping, or loss during insert changes. It is applicable across a range of indexable tooling setups in both production and job shop settings. The industry standard number FS2118 and manufacturers catalog number FS2118 allow cross-referencing across compatible tooling systems.

Key Features

• Torx Plus drive for improved torque transfer and reduced cam-out during tightening
• Industry standard number FS2118 for broad cross-reference compatibility
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds, suitable for high-volume replacement stocking
• Designed for use with indexable insert toolholders in milling, turning, and boring applications
• Single-unit minimum order quantity supports replacement of individual fasteners

Compatibility

Cross-referenced under industry standard number FS2118. Intended for use with indexable toolholders requiring a Torx Plus drive insert screw of this specification. Verify screw size and thread pitch against the toolholder manufacturer's requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is secured before changing insert screws. Use a calibrated Torx Plus bit of the correct size to avoid stripping the drive recess. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's recommended torque procedure for insert screw tightening.
