Indexable disc cutter DF178TM – Ø125 mm, 40 mm arbor (Teknik Makina)

The indexable disc cutter is a precision milling tool designed for efficient slotting and light face milling with CCMT-type indexable inserts in general workshop and production environments.

• Ø125 mm diameter for stable cutting
• Compatible with CCMT 1204 inserts
• 40 mm arbor for secure mounting
• Ten indexable cutting edges for productivity

Higher throughput through stiff geometry and insert economy

The disc-style milling head provides a rigid cutting platform: with a Ø125 mm body and a 40 mm arbor the tool reduces deflection under load, which supports consistent chip formation and surface finish. Using CCMT 1204 inserts lets maintenance focus on rapid insert changes rather than regrinding solid cutters, translating into less downtime and a lower cost per cutting edge. The arrangement of ten cutting edges increases effective machining time between indexings and is particularly suited to repetitive slotting tasks and stepped face passes where predictable material removal is required.

Simple serviceability and clear mounting references

Clamping and insert retention are straightforward: insert fastening uses M5x12 Torx screws, and the relevant tool interface is T20. Such standardised hardware speeds routine servicing and minimises special-tool inventory on the shop floor. The tool’s 16 mm cutting height gives a clear limit for maximum engagement depth per insert, while the specified 32 mm depth of cut (ap) indicates the cutter’s effective axial engagement capability. Clear specifications mean set-up times are reduced and process planning becomes more reliable.

Predictable results across common workshop materials

Although insert grade selection determines final application range, the cutter geometry and insert type favour efficient machining of steels and general engineering alloys in medium to heavy feed conditions. The combination of a large-diameter cutter and multiple indexable edges supports consistent chip evacuation and reduces tool-change frequency, improving net component throughput. For operators unfamiliar with indexable systems: CCMT inserts are rhombic-shaped carbide inserts that index to present a fresh edge; this is why the disc cutter is often chosen where repeatable dimensions and fast edge replacement are priorities.

Application advice and selection guidance

Select insert grades and edge preparations according to the workpiece and feed rates—coated carbide grades for mixed-production steel work, tougher substrates for interrupted cuts. The tool’s mounting on a secure 40 mm arbor affords stability at moderate spindle speeds; consult machine tool capability when planning deeper axial cuts. Metav’s technical literature and advisors can assist with matching insert geometries and recommended cut parameters for the target material to ensure the best balance of life and surface quality.

FAQ

What insert type is recommended for this cutter?
The cutter is designed for CCMT 1204 indexable inserts; specific grade selection depends on the workpiece material and machining conditions.

What arbor size is required for secure mounting?
A 40 mm arbor/bore provides the mounting interface specified for stable operation of this disc cutter.

How many cutting edges does the tool offer and what is the benefit?
The tool features ten cutting edges, increasing the available edge life between indexings and supporting higher productive running time.

What is the maximum cutting height and why does it matter?
The specified cutting height is 16 mm, which indicates the maximum insert projection and helps determine safe engagement depths for each pass.

Can this cutter be used for face milling as well as slotting?
Yes; with appropriate insert grades and machining parameters the disc-style cutter suits both slotting and light face-milling tasks.
