Walter 6050513 Torx Drive Screw Indexable Tooling

Product Description

The WALTER 6050513 is a Torx drive clamping screw designed for indexable insert tooling. These screws secure indexable carbide inserts into turning, milling, and boring tool holders. The Torx drive design provides superior torque transfer and reduces the risk of cam-out compared to standard hex or Phillips fasteners. This type of screw is a high-wear consumable that machinists and tooling technicians replace regularly during insert changes on CNC and manual machine tools.

This screw is used in metalworking and machining environments wherever indexable insert tooling is in service. Typical applications include production turning, face milling, and boring operations in job shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance machining contexts. The part corresponds to industry standard number FS2179 and is cataloged under that reference for cross-referencing with tooling system documentation.

Key Features

• Torx drive interface for high torque transfer with reduced cam-out risk
• Corresponds to industry standard number FS2179 for cross-reference compatibility
• Lightweight consumable at 0.01 pounds, suitable for high-volume stocking
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement without excess inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement screw for indexable insert tool holders requiring a Torx drive clamping fastener. Cross-references to industry standard FS2179.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians during routine insert indexing or replacement. Power down and lock out the machine before accessing any tooling or turret positions. Use the correct Torx driver or key specified by the tool holder manufacturer to avoid stripping the drive recess. Do not over-torque the screw, as this can crack the insert or damage the thread in the tool holder pocket.
