Shank cutter R216TM – for RDMT 1003 indexable inserts, 35 mm diameter by Teknik Makina

The Shank cutter R216TM is a precision-engineered milling tool designed for use with RDMT 1003 indexable inserts, offering a balanced combination of rigidity and accessibility for medium-duty face and slot milling in production environments.

• 35 mm cutting diameter for stable cuts
• Three cutting edges for smooth chip removal
• 32 mm shank ensures secure clamping
• Compatible with RDMT 1003 indexable inserts

Stable cuts and predictable machining results

The cutter’s 35 mm diameter and 32 mm shank deliver a high level of axial and radial stability, which reduces chatter and supports consistent surface finish. Because the design focuses on rigidity, the tool offers improved tolerance control in repetitive machining tasks. The combination of three cutting edges with a 45 mm cutting length helps to distribute loads evenly across the insert seats, which contributes to extended insert life and predictable replacement intervals. These features make the tool well suited to workflows where repeatability and minimal rework are priorities.

Fast insert changes and secure clamping reduce downtime

Tool changeover is simplified by the standardised clamping hardware: a locking screw M3.5, Torx screw M3.5x8.5 and T15 Torx key interface enable secure, repeatable insert fixation. The result is reduced setup time and lower risk of incorrect seating. The robust fastening system supports reliable torque application during maintenance, meaning insert replacement is straightforward and can be completed with common workshop tools. This contributes directly to higher machine uptime and more efficient shift planning.

Performance characteristics that support production throughput

With a 45 mm cutting length and an overall length of 200 mm, the tool provides an effective reach for a range of face and shoulder milling tasks while keeping deflection minimal. The cutter’s geometry has been optimised to maintain steady chip flow from the cutting zone to the periphery, which assists in heat control and prolongs insert performance. At a weight of 1.227 kg, the assembly balances mass and manoeuvrability for stable spindle dynamics without imposing excessive load on toolholders.

Integration into workshop fleets and process chains

Designed for compatibility with standard indexable inserts (RDMT 1003), the cutter integrates easily into existing tool inventories and tool management systems. The clear specification of clamping screws and Torx key size simplifies spare parts stocking and reduces logistical complexity. The product is identified under SKU R216TM, making procurement and traceability straightforward in ERP systems and tool lists. Technical classification references are provided for documentation and parts management.

FAQ

How many cutting edges does the cutter have and what benefit do they provide?
The cutter is configured with three cutting edges; this arrangement promotes smooth chip evacuation and balanced cutting forces, extending insert life and supporting a consistent surface finish for the R216TM from Teknik Makina.

Which insert type is compatible with this tool?
This shank-mounted milling cutter is designed for RDMT 1003 indexable inserts, ensuring standardised fitment and easy integration into existing tool sets.

What fastening hardware is required for insert changes?
Insert fixation uses a locking screw M3.5 and Torx screw M3.5x8.5, operated with a T15 Torx key, which allows secure and repeatable clamping of the RDMT 1003 inserts.

What are the key dimensions to verify for toolholder compatibility?
Important dimensions include a 35 mm cutting diameter, 32 mm shank, 45 mm cutting length and a 200 mm overall length; these figures are applicable for holder selection and reach planning.

Is the tool specified for heavy-duty milling applications?
The design emphasises rigidity and stable cutting behaviour for medium-duty production milling; consult process engineers for extreme heavy-duty or highly abrasive conditions to confirm suitability.
