Milwaukee M Screw Nylon Glue Cheese Head #8-32
Model Number: 06-81-0165
The Milwaukee 06-81-0165 M Screw Nylon Glue CH #8-32 is a genuine OEM replacement service fastener designed for the Milwaukee 6034-21 5 in. Random Orbit Palm Sander (serial code G66A), Milwaukee's corded 5 in. random orbit palm sander used by finish carpenters, cabinet makers, furniture builders, refinishing contractors, autobody crews (for finish prep), and any tradesperson sanding surfaces to a fine, swirl-free finish. The screw specification is #8-32 UNC (#8 wire gauge at approximately 0.164 in. diameter, with 32 threads per inch of coarse thread) with a Cheese Head (CH) profile, and the "Nylon Glue" designation in the part description identifies a pre-applied nylon thread-locking compound (Nylok-style) at the screw threads. The nylon thread-locker is critical for this application: random orbit sanders generate substantial high-frequency vibration through the eccentric counterbalance mechanism that converts motor rotation into the random orbital pad motion, and conventional fasteners without thread-locking compound progressively loosen under continuous vibration loading over the sander's service life.
A stripped, broken, missing, or thread-locker-depleted service screw can compromise the assembly integrity of the sander and prevent the engineered vibration retention at the screw position. Symptoms include screws that work loose during operation, screws that no longer hold torque after multiple removal cycles (the nylon thread-locker is depleted after a few removal-installation cycles), or visible damage to the head or threads. Replacing the screw with this OEM service part restores correct vibration-resistant fastener retention. Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee 6034-21 service parts diagram before ordering, and confirm the quantity of screws required at your specific service location. Milwaukee uses many different machine screw part numbers across their tool lineup (including the closely-numbered 06-81-0095 Nylon Machine Screw 8-31 x 1-1/4, 06-81-0065 TORX Screw #10-32 x 2 in., and others), which are NOT interchangeable with the 06-81-0165 due to different thread specifications, head geometries, or thread-locker treatments. Verify by serial number using Milwaukee's online parts lookup before ordering to confirm correct fitment.

Includes
- (1) Milwaukee 06-81-0165 M Screw Nylon Glue CH #8-32
- Note: This part is NOT a generic #8-32 hardware-store screw substitute. The pre-applied nylon thread-locker is critical to the sander's vibration-resistant assembly and is depleted after a few removal-installation cycles. Milwaukee uses many different machine screw part numbers across their tool lineup (including 06-81-0095 Nylon Machine Screw 8-31 x 1-1/4 and 06-81-0065 TORX Screw #10-32 x 2 in.) which are NOT interchangeable with the 06-81-0165
- Note: Verify your tool's catalog number (6034-21) and serial number against the official Milwaukee parts diagram before ordering, and confirm the quantity of screws required at your specific service location
