Shank milling cutter R218TM – 40 mm diameter, 4‑flute for RDMT 1003 inserts by Teknik Makina

A Shank milling cutter R218TM engineered for secure insert clamping and reliable performance in CNC milling setups, suitable for medium‑reach slotting and face operations using RDMT 1003 indexable inserts

• 40 mm diameter for stable cutting
• 32 mm shank for high rigidity
• Four cutting edges for smooth material removal
• Compatible with RDMT 1003 indexable inserts

Rigidity and repeatable geometry for stable machining

The tool's 32 mm shank and 40 mm diameter combine to reduce vibration and run‑out, which preserves insert life and improves surface finish. With a four‑flute layout, the cutter balances material removal rate and chip evacuation, delivering steady cuts in cyclic production. The cutter's 45 mm cutting edge length and 200 mm overall length give a practical reach without unnecessary overhang, helping to maintain concentricity and dimensional consistency across batches. The robust mounting and balanced geometry are particularly valuable where repeatability and predictable tool behaviour drive process stability.

Productivity gains from fast indexable inserts and secure clamping

Designed for indexable systems, the cutter accepts RDMT 1003 inserts, enabling fast replacement and a controlled cutting edge form. The insert retention uses a locking screw M3.5 together with a Torx screw M3.5x8.5, tightened with a T15 key, which simplifies maintenance and reduces machine downtime. The tool's balanced mass (approx. 1.281 kg) supports higher axial engagement and steady feed rates while the four cutting edges distribute cutting forces, allowing a pragmatic compromise between high metal removal and tool life. Explained plainly: fewer interruptions, more productive cutting time.

Practical serviceability and application guidance

The cutter's interface and standard screw sizes make it straightforward to keep spare parts on the shelf and to swap inserts during shift changes. The compatibility with industry‑standard RDMT 1003 grades lets operators select the appropriate insert coating and chipbreaker for the workpiece and machining strategy. Documentation and the two attached files provide installation and maintenance references. For complex setups or to clarify insert grades and cutting data, Metav Werkzeuge offers technical advice and can assist with selection to match the machining task and machine tool capabilities.
