Wacker Neuson 5000163738 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16X1-1/4

The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16X1-1/4 designed for the BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS walk-behind floor saws. As a direct OEM part, is manufactured to the exact thread specification, head dimensions, and material grade called out in the original Wacker Neuson bill of materials — so it seats and torques correctly without guesswork. This screw is confirmed compatible with both the BFS 2020AS Saw and the BFS 1318AS Self-propelled Walk-behind Saw, making it a straightforward like-for-like swap during scheduled maintenance or field repair. Having the correct fastener on hand keeps your floor saw buttoned up tight and ready to cut.

Key Features

• OEM Thread and Grade Accuracy — Manufactured to the exact 3/8-16 thread pitch and head specification, ensuring proper torque transfer and clamp load at the fastened joint.
• Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original fastener profile and length (1-1/4 in.) so it installs straight into existing threaded bores without chasing threads or shimming.
• Confirmed BFS Series Fitment — Verified for the BFS 2020AS Saw and BFS 1318AS Self-propelled Walk-behind Saw floor saw platforms.
• Structural Integrity Under Load — A correctly spec'd cap screw maintains critical joint clamping force during blade rotation and feed pressure; an under-spec or incorrect fastener risks joint loosening and component shift during cutting.
• Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson parts network, carrying the same part number 5000163738 referenced in the official service documentation.

A hex head cap screw is a fully threaded or partially threaded fastener used to clamp two or more components together at a structural joint. In a walk-behind floor saw like the BFS series, cap screws are used throughout the chassis, blade guard, drive system, and handle assemblies to hold critical components under sustained vibration and cutting load. When a cap screw stretches, strips, or is substituted with an incorrect thread pitch or grade, joint clamping force drops — leading to component movement, accelerated wear on mating surfaces, and potential loss of blade guard or drive component alignment. Using the correct OEM fastener, matched by part number 5000163738, ensures the joint performs as engineered for the life of the service interval.
