The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Hex Nut 3/8-16 designed for the BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS walk-behind floor saws. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this fastener meets the exact thread specification and torque requirements called out in the original build. It confirms correct fitment across both the BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS saw platforms, so you can install with confidence. When fastener integrity matters on a high-vibration cutting machine, using the correct OEM-specified hardware is the straightforward choice.
Key Features
- Correct Thread Specification: — 3/8-16 UNC thread form matches the original fastener spec for a secure, torque-rated connection without guesswork.
- Genuine OEM Hardware: — Supplied by Wacker Neuson as a direct OEM replacement, ensuring the same material grade and dimensional tolerances as the factory-installed nut.
- Confirmed Fitment — BFS Floor Saw Series: — Verified for the BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS self-propelled walk-behind floor saws, covering both saw platforms in the BFS lineup.
- Vibration-Resistant Holding Power: — A correctly spec'd hex nut maintains clamping force under the sustained vibration of floor saw operation, preventing loosening that can cause component shift or misalignment.
- Part Number Accuracy: — Order by confirmed part number 5000170777 to ensure you receive the exact fastener for your BFS saw — not a generic substitute.
A hex nut is a threaded fastener that clamps two or more components together when tightened against a bolt or stud. On a walk-behind floor saw like the BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS, fasteners throughout the drivetrain, blade guard, and frame assemblies are subject to continuous vibration during cutting operations. A worn, stripped, or incorrect nut can allow components to shift or come loose, compromising both cutting accuracy and operator safety. Replacing a damaged or missing fastener with the correct OEM-specified hardware restores proper clamping force and keeps the assembly secure through demanding cutting cycles.
