Teknik Makina indexable milling cutter R229TM — Ø30 mm, for RDMT 12T3 inserts

The R229TM is an indexable milling cutter designed for machining operations with RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts, suited to CNC and workshop milling where compact diameter and fast insert replacement matter.

• Indexable design for RDMT 12T3 inserts
• Ø30 mm cutting diameter
• Shank Ø25 mm for rigid clamping
• Quick insert change with Torx T15

Precision milling with compact diameter for consistent results

The indexable milling cutter concept provides a cost-effective route to maintain cutting performance: with a Ø30 mm cutting diameter and a cutting length 40 mm, the tool offers a predictable cut zone that supports consistent surface finish and dimensional control. The two-edge geometry reduces radial load variation, which helps to stabilise the cut and minimise vibration during pocketing and shoulder milling. For production environments where part-to-part repeatability counts, this setup lowers scrap rates and reduces rework.

Secure clamping and rapid insert replacement to reduce downtime

A shank Ø25 mm provides a rigid interface for standard toolholders, ensuring runout remains low under normal machining forces. Insert retention is handled via an M3.5 locking screw and a Torx T15 drive, with the supplied M3.5x8.5 Torx screw dimension allowing straightforward, tool-assisted replacement of the RDMT inserts. The result is faster scheduled service and shorter tool-change cycles, translating directly into higher machine utilisation and improved throughput.

Compatibility and easy integration with existing tooling systems

Designed specifically for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts, the cutter integrates with established insert ranges to make re-supply and inventory management simpler. The overall length of 120 mm balances accessibility in tight fixtures with sufficient reach for depth-critical operations, while the tool’s weight of 0.456 kg keeps dynamic loads predictable for most milling spindles. Where a compact, indexable solution is required to combine economy and performance, this cutter is a practical addition to mixed-production toolsets.
