Shank milling cutter for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts — 30 mm diameter, 25 mm shank (Teknik Makina)

Shank milling cutter for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts designed for robust, indexable milling operations in production and workshop environments

• For RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts
• 30 mm cutting diameter
• 25 mm shank for secure clamping
• M3.5 locking screw, Torx T15 key

Consistent performance for stable production

This indexable milling tool is built to deliver predictable cutting behaviour across repeated cycles. The 30 mm cutting diameter and two cutting edges provide a balance between material removal and surface finish, while the 25 mm shank reduces deflection through a secure connection to the tool holder. With a compact 200 mm overall length and a weight of 0.784 kg, the cutter offers a stable mass distribution that supports steady spindle dynamics and lower vibration. The result is improved component repeatability and fewer interruptions for rework, which benefits throughput and quality control.

Fast insert changes and reliable clamping

Engineered for efficient maintenance, the design accepts RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts and secures them with an M3.5 locking screw. The supplied Torx configuration (Torx screw M3.5x8.5, key T15) enables quick, repeatable insert replacement with minimal downtime. A consistently torqued fastener prevents micro-movement at the cutting edge, preserving insert life and maintaining cutting accuracy. For production environments where fast tool exchange matters, this configuration reduces non-productive time and simplifies inventory by standardising on a common insert type.

Economic milling through indexable tooling

Using an indexable insert system reduces per-part tooling costs compared with solid cutters because only the insert is replaced when worn. The holder’s compatibility with the widely used RDMT 12T3 family makes it straightforward to source replacement inserts, reducing lead times and stock pressure. The cutter’s geometry supports both roughing passes and light finishing cuts, providing a cost-effective compromise between lifetime performance and initial investment. For workshops and small production lines, this translates into lower operating expenses and more predictable maintenance cycles.

Safe installation and practical handling

Practical design elements assist safe use and long service life: the 25 mm shank ensures compatibility with standard collets and chucks, while the 55 mm cutting length on the shank gives sufficient reach for common setups. With an overall length of 200 mm, users should verify holder clearance and ensure correct clamping depth to maintain balance. The tool (SKU R245TM) is lightweight relative to its size, but correct tightening of the M3.5 locking screw with a T15 Torx key is essential to prevent insert loosening. Regular inspection of the screw and seat before operation supports consistent performance and safer machining.

FAQ

Which inserts fit this cutter?
The cutter is designed for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts; use inserts specified for that ISO format to ensure correct seating and performance.

What size holder is required for the shank?
A holder or collet system accepting a 25 mm shank is required; ensure correct clamping depth and concentricity for best results.

How is the insert secured and changed?
Inserts are fastened with an M3.5 locking screw; the Torx screw specification is M3.5x8.5 and a T15 key is used for secure, repeatable tightening.

Is the tool balanced for high-speed milling?
The tool’s 200 mm overall length and 0.784 kg weight provide a stable balance for typical indexable milling operations; confirm machine speed and holder compatibility before high-speed use.
