Milwaukee 3/8-24 x 1/4 in. Flat Point Set Screw
Model Number: 06-83-5170
The Milwaukee 06-83-5170 is a genuine OEM 3/8-24 x 1/4 in. Flat Point Set Screw used in the Milwaukee 4270 Electromagnetic Drill Press. A set screw, or grub screw, is a headless fastener driven with a hex key that threads through one part to clamp or locate another: the 3/8-24 designation is the thread, a 3/8 in. diameter with 24 threads per inch in a fine series, and the flat point seats squarely against the surface it bears on. On the drill press it locks a component in position and holds it there against the load and vibration of magnetic drilling. Because a set screw is torqued against another part and takes that load, the correct thread, length, and point all matter for it to hold, so using the genuine Milwaukee OEM screw ensures the right 3/8-24 thread, 1/4 in. length, and flat point for the location it serves, where a screw of the wrong size or point may not hold or may mar the part it bears on.
This set screw is identified as the 3/8-24 x 1/4 in. Flat Point Set Screw on the Milwaukee service parts lists for the 4270-20, 4270-21, 4270-50, 4270-59, and 4270-59A Electromagnetic Drill Presses, where two are used. Milwaukee specifies applying a thread-locking sealant, such as Loctite, to these set screws on assembly so they do not back out under vibration. Order this set screw by its exact part number, 06-83-5170, from your tool's service parts diagram, and order the quantity the diagram shows. Because Milwaukee specifies service parts by serial number as well as catalog number, verify your catalog and serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before ordering, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number.
