The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Depth Control Screw designed for the BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS self-propelled walk-behind floor saws. As a factory-sourced component, it is manufactured to the exact specification of the original part, ensuring correct function within the depth adjustment mechanism. This screw is a direct replacement for the factory-installed unit on these BFS series floor saws, so there is nothing to adapt or modify at installation. If your machine is showing inconsistent blade depth or the adjustment mechanism is slipping or failing to hold position, replacing this screw with the correct OEM part restores accurate, repeatable depth control.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Thread and Material Spec — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to the same dimensional and material standards as the original, maintaining correct clamping force and thread engagement in the depth control assembly.
- Drop-In Fitment for BFS Floor Saws — Engineered to install directly into the existing depth adjustment mechanism without modification, matching the thread pitch and head geometry of the factory screw.
- Covers BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS Models — Confirmed fitment across both the BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS self-propelled walk-behind floor saw platforms.
- Restores Accurate Blade Depth Adjustment — A worn or damaged depth control screw causes the blade to shift from the set cutting depth during operation; this OEM replacement re-establishes firm, consistent depth hold.
- Operational Safety Relevance — Precise blade depth control is critical to safe floor saw operation; a failed or loose depth screw can lead to uncontrolled blade engagement, making prompt replacement essential.
The depth control screw is a key fastener within the blade depth adjustment system of a walk-behind floor saw. It locks the cutting head at the operator-selected depth so the blade maintains a consistent cut through concrete, asphalt, or masonry without drifting. When this screw wears, strips, or breaks, the depth setting becomes unreliable — the blade may creep deeper or shallower mid-cut, compromising cut quality and creating a hazardous operating condition. Replacing it with the correct OEM part ensures the depth mechanism locks securely and holds through demanding cutting work.
