Milwaukee M6 x 28.5mm Cap Head T-30 Machine Screw
Model Number: 05-74-0083
The Milwaukee 05-74-0083 is a genuine OEM M6 x 28.5mm Cap Head T-30 Machine Screw, a threaded fastener used to assemble and secure components within a range of Milwaukee tools. The screw has an M6 thread, a 6mm metric diameter, a 28.5mm length, a cap head, which is a cylinder or socket-style head, and a T-30 Torx drive recess that is driven with a T-30 Torx bit. As a machine screw, it threads into a pre-tapped hole or a mating nut, rather than forming its own threads the way a thread-forming TAPTITE or Plastite screw does, so it is used at fastening points where a matching machined thread already exists in a metal boss. Machine screws like this hold gearcase halves, housing sections, brackets, and structural assemblies together and carry a real clamping load in the tool. The Torx drive resists cam-out and allows the screw to be driven to the correct torque without stripping the head, and at 28.5mm this is a longer fastener suited to structural fastening points that need deeper thread engagement. A screw that is stripped, cross-threaded, corroded, or lost should be replaced with the correct fastener rather than substituted, since a wrong thread, length, or head can fail to seat, back out under vibration, or damage the threads it drives into.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, and because an M6 machine screw is standard hardware that can appear on many different Milwaukee tools in varying lengths, head styles, and positions, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before ordering to confirm this exact screw and the quantity your tool uses at each location. Do not order by appearance alone: a tool often uses several screws of the same diameter in different lengths, drives, and head styles, and the diagram is what identifies the correct part number at each position. In particular, confirm the length, head style, and drive: this M6 screw is 28.5mm long with a cap head and a T-30 drive. Replace any screw whose threads or drive recess are worn rather than reinstalling it, and drive it to the torque specified for your tool where the diagram gives a value.
