Shank milling cutter for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts — Ø35 mm, 3 flutes (Teknik Makina)

A shank milling cutter designed for medium‑duty face and peripheral milling that accepts RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts and is suitable for workshop and production use.

• Ø35 mm cutting diameter
• 3 cutting edges for steady chip load
• Compatible with RDMT 12T3 inserts
• 32 mm shank for secure clamping

Consistent material removal with proven cutter geometry

The Ø35 mm cutting diameter combined with 3 flutes delivers a balanced cutting action that reduces vibration and evens out the chip load across the insert pockets. By accepting RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts the tool separates the wear element from the tool body: worn inserts can be replaced quickly, which lowers consumable costs and shortens downtime. The modularity of indexable tooling also simplifies inventory management, as a single cutter body can cover a range of operations with the correct insert grades.

Rigidity and secure clamping for repeatable accuracy

A 32 mm shank provides the necessary stiffness for high‑precision passes and secure mounting in robust tool holders. The insert is retained via an M3,5 locking screw and fixed with an M3,5x8,5 Torx screw, tightened using a T15 key, ensuring a reliable clamp that resists loosening under intermittent loads. The substantial tool mass (approx. 1.855 kg) contributes to stable cutting behaviour in moderate removal operations and supports repeatable positioning when the tool is exchanged.

Reach and machining flexibility that reduce set‑ups

With a 45 mm cutting length and 300 mm overall length, the design provides reach for operations that require extended overhang without resorting to improvised tooling. The available cutting length permits effective step‑downs while keeping the cutting edge engagement predictable, so programmed feed rates and depths remain consistent. This combination helps to reduce changeovers and allows longer, uninterrupted production runs when paired with the right insert grade.

Practical advantage in workshop workflows

As a component of a modular tooling strategy, this cutter supports rapid insert changes and straightforward tool life management. The standardised insert interface means compatibility with a wide range of grades for different materials and cutting conditions, allowing a clear cost‑benefit analysis: fewer complete tools in stock, lower per‑cutting‑edge cost and faster maintenance cycles. Combined with Metav’s emphasis on reliable supply and technical expertise, the cutter complements a stable production setup.

FAQ

Which inserts fit this cutter?
The cutter is designed for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts; use the appropriate insert grade for the workpiece material to achieve optimal wear and surface finish.

What clamping hardware is required for insert replacement?
Insert retention uses an M3,5 locking screw and an M3,5x8,5 Torx screw; a T15 key is specified for tightening.

Is the shank suitable for standard tool holders?
The 32 mm shank is compatible with holders that accept that diameter and provides the rigidity required for stable machining.

How long is the cutting portion and what reach does the tool offer?
The tool provides a 45 mm cutting length and a 300 mm overall length, offering extended reach for operations where additional overhang is needed.

Can this cutter reduce tool inventory costs?
Yes — by using RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts the body remains in service while worn inserts are replaced, lowering the per‑cutting‑edge cost and simplifying stock management.
