R234TM Shank mill by Teknik Makina — Ø 40 mm, for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts

R234TM Shank mill for high-feed peripheral milling and face operations using RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts, suitable for medium-duty steel and general workshop applications

• Ø 40 mm cutter body
• Shank diameter 25 mm for secure toolholding
• Compatible with RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts
• Three cutting edges for balanced cutting action

Faster setup, fewer interruptions

The modular design is optimised for changeovers with indexable inserts, meaning insert replacement and re-clamping are rapid and repeatable. The combination of a shank diameter 25 mm and a compact Ø 40 mm body reduces runout risk, which in turn lowers scrap rates and shortens machine downtime. The cutter accepts standard RDMT 12T3 inserts, enabling cost-efficient tool management and quick access to replacement geometry options. Built-in screw interfaces (locking screw M3.5 and Torx screw M3.5x8.5) and the supplied key size (T15) simplify maintenance procedures and ensure consistent torque during assembly, contributing to reliable machining cycles.

Consistent cutting performance for predictable results

With three cutting edges, the tool delivers a smooth chip load distribution and reduced vibration in light to medium milling passes. The cutting length 40 mm and overall length of 120 mm provide a practical balance between reach and rigidity for common milling tasks. This geometry supports stable surface finish and repeatable dimensional outcomes, especially when paired with the correct RDMT 12T3 grades for the target material. Clear specification of the cutter’s physical dimensions makes process planning straightforward and supports reproducible feeds and speeds in production programming.

Practical handling and workshop convenience

The solid shank construction and standard clamping interfaces make the tool straightforward to integrate with existing toolholders and quick-change systems. The modest mass (0.513 kg) minimises additional spindle load while maintaining the structural stiffness necessary for consistent cuts. The tool’s compatibility with widely used RDMT 12T3 inserts means stock management is simplified and replacement parts are readily available, reducing inventory complexity. A well-documented screw specification streamlines consumables procurement and maintenance scheduling across multiple machines.

Confidence through supply and service

Sourcing this shank-mounted cutter via an experienced supplier adds another layer of assurance: Metav’s European hub acts as a quality filter and distribution centre, ensuring traceable delivery and straightforward aftersales advice. The combination of technical compatibility, standardised fastenings and practical dimensions offers a pragmatic solution for workshops and small production lines seeking to reduce supplier count while maintaining production quality. The robust engineering and standardised insert system help safeguard against unexpected process variation and support steady throughput.

FAQ

What insert type does this cutter use?
The cutter is designed for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts; RDMT 12T3 grades and geometries can be selected to match the workpiece material and machining strategy.

Is the shank suitable for standard toolholders?
The shank diameter is 25 mm and the overall length is 120 mm, making the tool compatible with typical 25 mm toolholders and clamping systems used in general workshop tooling.

How many cutting edges are provided and what are the implications?
The cutter features three cutting edges, which offer balanced chip removal and reduced vibration for smoother surface finishes in light to medium-duty milling.

What fastening hardware is required for assembly?
Assembly requires the specified locking screw M3.5 and Torx screw M3.5x8.5; the tool is serviced with a T15 Torx key for correct torque application.

Can this tool be used for deep shoulder milling?
With a cutting length of 40 mm and an overall length of 120 mm, the tool is intended for moderate reach operations; suitability for deeper shoulders depends on the specific setup and rigidity of the machine and holder.
