These fixing screws are among the small parts that a functional tattoo machine depends on. The set includes 4 spare pieces, with a diameter of 3 mm and a length of 5 mm, used for securing small components during assembly or service. It's exactly the kind of part that's good to always have in your maintenance kit: small, easy to lose, but essential for holding the machine together.
What are the dimensions of the screws in the set?▾
Each screw has a diameter of 3 mm and a length of 5 mm. The set contains 4 identical pieces, with a total weight of approximately 6 g.
Are they compatible with my machine?▾
Check the dimensions of the existing screws on your machine before ordering. If they have a diameter of 3 mm and a length of 5 mm, and the head type matches your tools, the screws are compatible. Since assemblies vary from model to model, the safest way is to compare with an existing screw.
How many screws do I receive?▾
The set contains 4 screws of the same size (3x5 mm). This usually covers the needs of a typical service and leaves you with spare parts. If you frequently service multiple machines, it might be worth ordering more sets.
What tool do I need to install them?▾
It depends on the screw head type: for a hex/Allen head, use a hex key of the correct size; for a Phillips head, use a suitable Phillips screwdriver. Always use the exact correct size to avoid damaging the screw head.
How do I maintain and keep them clean?▾
As they are machine parts that do not touch the skin, no special skin hygiene procedure is required. Wipe off ink or disinfectant residues after service, store them in a dry, clean place, and periodically check the tightness during assembly, as vibrations can loosen them over time.
Why are the screws on the machine often lost?▾
This is common: constant vibrations can loosen the tightness over time, repeated disassembly for cleaning increases the risk of losing a part, and their small size makes them easy to misplace. That's why it's useful to always have a spare set and work on a tray during service.
