Schaftfräser R256TM — shank milling cutter for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts, 32 mm shank by Teknik Makina

The Schaftfräser R256TM is a purpose-built shank milling cutter for indexable RDMT 12T3 inserts, engineered for operations requiring stability and extended reach in machining environments

• 32 mm shank for stable clamping
• Compatible with RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts
• Three cutting edges for balanced performance
• 300 mm overall length for extended reach

Stability and precision for consistent results

A thick 32 mm shank and balanced mass distribution provide reduced vibration and improved positional stability during milling. The configuration with three cutting edges delivers consistent chip removal and a predictable load per cutter tooth, which helps to maintain surface quality and repeatability across batches. The presence of an M3.5 locking screw and a dedicated T15 Torx key simplifies secure clamping of the insert seat, focusing maintenance time on quick insert changes rather than alignment work.

Fast insert changes to keep production moving

Compatibility with RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts means replacement is straightforward and predictable. The specified M3.5x8.5 Torx screw secures each insert reliably while allowing rapid replacement with a standard T15 driver, reducing machine downtime and supporting efficient tool management. The modular insert system makes it economical to rotate or replace cutting edges when wear occurs, extending the usable service life of the toolholder and lowering per-part machining costs.

Extended reach without compromising rigidity

With a 300 mm overall length combined with a 70 mm cutting length, the cutter is designed for tasks that require deeper access while maintaining rigidity. The tool’s mass—approximately 1.829 kg—contributes to dampening during cutting, which in turn helps to reduce chatter when working at longer overhangs. This balance between reach and stability supports machining of components with recessed features or extended flanks without compromising on surface finish.

Durable, service-friendly design for workshop workflows

Constructed for industrial use and straightforward upkeep, the R256TM allows quick replacement of worn components and uses standard fastening hardware for service simplicity. The indexable system reduces waste compared with disposable solid tools, while the organiser-friendly spare-part logic shortens tool change intervals. Supplied by Teknik Cutting Tools and distributed via Metav Werkzeuge, the tool benefits from reliable availability and a technical supply chain geared to professional workshops and production facilities.

FAQ

What inserts fit this cutter?
The cutter accepts RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts; the clamping is secured with an M3,5 locking screw and M3,5x8,5 Torx screw as specified for the R256TM.

How is the insert fixed and removed?
Inserts are fastened with the M3,5x8,5 Torx screw; removal and fitting require a T15 Torx key for safe and repeatable mounting.

Is the tool suitable for deep internal features?
Yes. The 300 mm overall length and 70 mm cutting length make the tool suitable for operations requiring extended reach while maintaining acceptable rigidity.

How many cutting edges are available and what is the benefit?
The tool has three cutting edges, which provides a balanced cutting load per tooth and contributes to smoother chip evacuation and steady cutting forces.

Can the cutter be serviced in a standard workshop?
Routine service—insert changes, screw checks and quick inspections—can be carried out with standard workshop tools, including a T15 Torx driver.
