Multi-insert rotary cutter HF18TM — Ø 40 mm, 18 cutting edges (Teknik Makina)

A multi-insert rotary cutter HF18TM designed for efficient profiling and stock removal in CNC and milling applications, compatible with Korloy APXT 1003 indexable inserts.

• Ø 40 mm cutting diameter
• Compatible with Korloy APXT 1003
• 18 cutting edges for efficient stock removal
• 32 mm shank for secure clamping

Faster, predictable material removal for production runs

The HF18TM offers a Ø 40 mm cutting diameter combined with 18 cutting edges, delivering uniform chip formation and reduced cycle times compared with single-edge tools. High cutter occupancy allows for lower feed per tooth while maintaining throughput, which translates into improved surface consistency and predictable tool life. The design suits repetitive profiling and deburring where stable, repeatable results are required and where downtime must be minimised.

Secure clamping and rapid serviceability for workshop efficiency

A robust 32 mm shank and conservative overall geometry ensure secure fixture in conventional toolholders, reducing vibration and run-out during operation. Fast insert changes are enabled by the specified M2.5x5.5 Torx screw and T08 key, allowing maintenance to be completed with standard workshop tools. The result is lower setup time and a quicker return to productive machining, supporting tighter production schedules without complex procedures.

Indexable inserts cut running costs and simplify logistics

Designed for use with APXT 1003 indexable inserts from Korloy, the cutter lets shops replace only worn cutting edges rather than the entire head. This approach reduces tooling expenditure and minimises material loss during regrinds. The specified 55 mm cutting height provides ample engagement for aggressive stock removal while preserving a balance between cutting volume and insert life, making the solution cost-effective for medium- to high-volume operations.

Practical dimensions for versatile integration and handling

With a 200 mm overall length and a mass of 1.621 kg, the tool sits comfortably in standard machining envelopes and is uncomplicated to handle during changeover. The compact diameter and proven indexable-insert concept make the cutter suitable for retrofit into existing tool sets, keeping inventory manageable. Assembly and replacement follow typical industry procedures, so adoption requires minimal retraining of personnel.
