This M5 x 7 mm Torx screw is a replacement part designed for securing replaceable carbide inserts on various professional LEUT steel woodworking tools.

It securely holds the carbide insert in its seat to ensure correct positioning during tool rotation and machining.

Which tools is this screw designed for?

This M5 x 7 mm screw is used in particular on several types of professional LEUT tools:

• 8 to 15.5 mm adjustable grooving cutters;
• 10 to 19.5 mm adjustable grooving cutters;

Main function

The M5 x 7 mm Torx screw secures the carbide insert to the tool body. It therefore helps ensure the precise and secure positioning of the insert during machining.

The Torx drive provides efficient torque transmission when tightening and loosening the screw, particularly when replacing or rotating carbide inserts.

When should this screw be replaced?

The screw should be replaced whenever it shows signs of wear or damage that could affect the secure positioning of the carbide insert:

• damaged or rounded Torx drive;
• damaged thread;
• damaged screw head;
• screw becomes difficult to tighten or no longer provides sufficient clamping;
• screw lost when replacing a carbide insert;
• carbide insert can no longer be securely held in position.

A damaged screw should not be reused to secure a carbide insert on a high-speed rotating woodworking tool.
