Face mill DF168TM — 100 mm diameter, for CCMT 1204 inserts (Teknik Makina)

A compact Face mill DF168TM built for indexable-insert facing and peripheral milling in machine-shop and CNC environments.

• 100 mm cutting diameter
• Compatible with CCMT 1204 inserts
• 32 mm shank for stable clamping
• Eight indexing cutting edges

Faster metal removal with consistent surface quality

The design focuses on efficient material removal while keeping tool life predictable. The 100 mm diameter and 8 cutting edges distribute cutting forces over several inserts, reducing load per edge and enabling higher feed rates with stable chip evacuation. With an available 24 mm axial depth and a cutting height 16 mm, this cutter provides a balance between stock removal and finishing capability. The use of indexable inserts means individual edges can be rotated or replaced quickly; this reduces downtime compared with solid cutters and supports continuous production runs.

Quick insert changes and low-maintenance setup

Maintenance routines are simplified by standardised fastenings and insert geometry. The cutter uses CCMT 1204 indexable inserts secured with a M5x12 Torx screw (Torx key T20), enabling rapid, repeatable changeover. The 32 mm shank assists concentric gripping in common toolholders and reduces vibration during heavy cuts, while the total mass of 0.567 kg supports easy handling during setup. Clear mechanical standards for screws and inserts reduce the risk of assembly errors and help maintain cutter balance after reassembly.

Integrating the cutter into production workflow

Designed for pragmatic workshop integration, the tool supports modular tooling strategies: a single cutter body accepts familiar indexable inserts, allowing stock removal and finish adjustments by selecting inserts and feeds rather than replacing whole tools. This approach lowers inventory complexity and cost per cutting edge. Delivered with standard mounting dimensions and an industry-compatible interface, the cutter fits existing toolholders and rotary spindles without extensive adapter lists, supporting efficient tool-change cycles and fewer interruptions on the shop floor.

Practical considerations for setup and application

When preparing a machining operation, consider the cutter’s geometry: the combination of 8 cutting edges and the specified axial depth offers strong material removal rates for facing and shoulder passes. Check that the machine spindle and holder accept a 32 mm shank and that the machine can accommodate the recommended axial engagement. The CCMT 1204 inserts are widely available, making regrinds or replacements straightforward. For best results, verify insert grade and coating with the chosen cutting speeds and workpiece material to match finish and tool life expectations.

FAQ

What inserts are compatible with this face mill?
The DF168TM accepts CCMT 1204 indexable inserts; this standard geometry allows easy sourcing of grades and coatings to suit different materials.

How many cutting edges are available for use?
The cutter body accommodates 8 active cutting edges, which spreads cutting forces and supports higher feed rates without compromising stability.

What shank size is required for mounting?
A 32 mm shank diameter is required for correct clamping; ensure the toolholder or arbor matches this dimension for safe operation.

Are special screws or keys required for insert changes?
Insert retention uses M5x12 screws tightened with a Torx T20 key, enabling fast, repeatable insert replacement.

Is the DF168TM suitable for high-volume production?
Yes — the combination of indexable inserts and distributed cutting edges is aimed at reducing downtime and improving tool life in repeated production cycles.
