The Wacker Neuson Cheese Head Screw is a genuine OEM fastener designed for the RCP-16, RCE-20, and RCE-25 series rebar cutters. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this is the exact screw specified for these machines — ensuring correct thread engagement, head geometry, and clamping force every time. It covers a broad range of voltage configurations across the RCP-16 and RCE-20/25 lines, including 50 Hz, 60 Hz, and 115 V GB variants. When a fastener fails or is damaged during service, replacing it with the correct OEM part keeps the assembly torqued to spec and the cutter operating as intended.
Key Features
- Correct Thread and Head Specification — Genuine OEM screw with the exact cheese head profile, thread pitch, and drive specification called out in the Wacker Neuson parts diagram.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Supplied as an authorized OEM component, manufactured to the same standard as the screw installed at the factory — no guesswork on sizing or grade.
- Broad Rebar Cutter Compatibility — A single part number covers RCP-16, RCE-20, and RCE-25 series machines across multiple voltage configurations, so one order handles most of the rebar cutter lineup.
- Maintains Proper Clamping Load — A correctly fitted cheese head screw holds internal components at the designed clamping force; a stripped or incorrect screw can allow components to shift under the high cyclic loads rebar cutters generate.
- Direct Service Replacement — Drops straight into the existing threaded bore during routine maintenance or repair, with no modification to surrounding hardware needed.
A cheese head screw gets its name from its cylindrical, flat-topped head — a profile that provides a larger bearing surface than a standard pan head while keeping a low overall height, making it well suited to confined assembly spaces inside power tools and cutting equipment. In a rebar cutter, fasteners like this one secure housings, guards, and internal mechanism components that must stay firmly located under repeated high-force cutting cycles. If a screw becomes stripped, corroded, or breaks during disassembly, substituting an incorrect fastener risks under-clamping or component misalignment, which can affect cut quality or accelerate wear on adjacent parts. Replacing it with the specified Wacker Neuson 5000217020 restores the assembly to its correct mechanical condition.
