M012 M3x4 Cup-Head Precision Cutter & Linkage Retaining Screw for GK9 Portable Bag Closer
The M012 M3x4 Cup-Head Screw is a precision replacement fastener designed for GK9 portable bag closer machines. This compact M3 metric screw secures critical components such as the thread cutter blade, internal drive blocks, and linkage assemblies, helping maintain accurate machine timing and dependable bag-closing performance.
Despite its small size, the M012 screw plays an essential role in preventing movement of high-wear mechanical parts caused by continuous vibration. Replacing a worn or missing screw helps keep the cutter assembly and internal linkage system securely fastened for smooth operation and consistent thread trimming.
Important: This is an M3 × 4mm cup-head screw. Please verify the M012 part number, thread size, and your machine’s parts diagram before purchasing.
