Shank milling cutter R255TM — 30 mm cutting diameter, for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts (Teknik Makina)

A Shank milling cutter R255TM designed for indexable insert milling where stability and quick insert replacement are required

• 30 mm cutting diameter for robust material removal
• Accepts RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts
• Two cutting edges for stable chip formation
• 25 mm shank diameter for secure clamping

High-performance cutting with proven insert compatibility

The R255TM is engineered around a 30 mm cutting diameter and a cutter body that accepts RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts, combining productivity with serviceability. The use of standard indexable inserts allows fast edge changes and repeatable cutting parameters, which reduces machine downtime and inventory complexity. With two cutting edges, the cutter provides a focused, stable cutting action that helps maintain process consistency on medium-duty milling operations. The design supports repeatable insert seating and predictable chip flow, which benefits cycle times and tool life.

Secure clamping and dimensional control for stable passes

A firm connection to the spindle is essential for accurate milling; the tool features a 25 mm shank and an extended body geometry to ensure rigid support in the toolholder. The 55 mm cutting length and 300 mm overall length balance reach and stiffness for many common setups, while the tool’s mass helps dampen vibration during engagement. These dimensional parameters translate directly into improved surface quality and reduced rework—advantages that feed into more predictable production planning and lower scrap rates.

Practical handling and maintenance that save time

The cutter uses a M3.5 locking screw and a M3.5x8.5 Torx screw secured with a T15 Torx key, enabling fast and reliable insert changes with commonly available tooling. Indexable inserts remove the need for regrinding and simplify maintenance routines: worn edges are replaced in seconds, not hours, restoring cutting geometry without specialised reconditioning. The straightforward screw and key combination reduces the risk of incorrect fastening and keeps the changeover process safe and efficient for shop-floor staff.

Designed for industrial use and flexible workshop workflows

Built for compatibility with established insert systems, this tool is appropriate where indexable insert solutions are preferred for their economy and repeatability. The R255TM’s configuration supports applications requiring quick edge replacement and stable cutting behaviour, such as series production and maintenance milling tasks. Its robust construction and standard fastening hardware make it straightforward to incorporate into existing toolsets, while the compatibility with widely used inserts helps keep spare-part inventories compact and cost-efficient.

FAQ

Which insert type fits this cutter?
The cutter is designed for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts; the seating and clamping geometry match that insert family for secure and repeatable mounting.

How many cutting edges does the tool provide and what is the benefit?
The tool features two cutting edges, which deliver a stable cutting action and predictable chip formation, supporting consistent surface finish and tool life.

What are the key dimensions to consider for toolholder selection?
Key dimensions include a 30 mm cutting diameter and a 25 mm shank diameter; toolholders and collets should be chosen to accommodate the 25 mm shank for secure clamping.

Which fastening hardware is required for insert changes?
Insert clamping uses a M3.5 locking screw and a M3.5x8.5 Torx screw, tightened with a T15 Torx key, facilitating quick and secure insert replacement.

Is the cutter suitable for quick production changeovers?
Yes; the indexable insert system and simple screw fastening enable rapid edge replacement, making the tool well suited to workflows that require short changeover times and reliable repeatability.
