Shank Milling Cutter S018TM — 25 mm shank, for AXMT 0602 & APKT 0903 inserts (Teknik Makina)

A compact Shank Milling Cutter S018TM engineered for indexable inserts, intended for medium-duty side and face milling where secure clamping and repeatable cutting performance are required

• 25 mm shank diameter for stable clamping
• 3 cutting edges for efficient material removal
• 45 mm cutting length, 120 mm overall length
• Torx M2.5×5.5 screw, T8 key included

Efficient productivity through proven indexable technology

The cutter is built for productive machining with indexable inserts, offering fast reconditioning by merely replacing the insert rather than the whole tool. Its 25 mm shank ensures a rigid connection to common toolholders, which reduces vibration and increases tool life in interrupted and continuous milling operations. With three effective cutting edges, the tool achieves a balanced combination of chip evacuation and cutting stability, translating into steady metal removal rates and predictable cycle times.

Precision design for repeatable results and easy maintenance

A 45 mm cutting length paired with a 120 mm overall length makes the tool suitable for a broad range of part geometries while maintaining stiffness near the cutting zone. The insert clamping uses a Torx M2.5×5.5 fixing screw and a T8 key, allowing secure seating and quick index changes on the shop floor. The relatively low mass of 0.447 kg helps with dynamic balance and reduces centrifugal loads at higher spindle speeds, aiding surface finish and dimensional repeatability.

Material compatibility and insert guidance

The tool is designed for use with AXMT 0602 and APKT 0903 indexable inserts and is compatible with inserts from Taegutec, allowing customers to select grades and geometries that match their workpiece material and cutting conditions. Selecting a carbide grade and coating suited to the substrate will govern cutting speed and wear resistance; the insert system enables rapid adaptation between roughing and finishing strategies without altering the holder.

Operational benefits for the workshop workflow

By adopting an indexable system, maintenance is shifted from tool replacement to fast insert changes, reducing inventory of full-bodied cutters and improving uptime. The combination of a standardised 25 mm shank and common insert formats supports cross-compatibility with many existing holders and machines, simplifying tool management. The Torx fastening provides repeatable clamp torque, which supports consistent cutting geometry and long-term process stability.

Recommended use cases and setup advice

Ideal applications include face milling, shoulder milling and light slotting where medium depths of cut and stable clamping are possible. For optimal results, pair the cutter with inserts chosen for the workpiece—tougher grades for interrupted cuts and coated, wear-resistant grades for high-speed finishing. Ensure the toolholder run-out is minimised and that the Torx screw is torqued to the specified value for secure insert clamping and best performance.

FAQ

What inserts are suitable for this cutter?
The cutter accepts AXMT 0602 and APKT 0903 inserts; Taegutec grades are explicitly compatible and offer options for roughing or finishing.

Is the shank suitable for standard toolholders?
Yes, the 25 mm shank fits common 25 mm collets and holders; correct clamping is advised to maintain run-out below recommended tolerances.

How is the insert secured in the cutter?
Inserts are fixed with a Torx M2.5×5.5 screw requiring a T8 key; the Torx interface provides repeatable torque and secure seating.

Can the tool be used for both roughing and finishing?
Yes; changing the insert grade and geometry adapts the cutter from high-removal-rate roughing to fine finishing without replacing the holder.

What is the tool’s weight and why does it matter?
The tool weighs 0.447 kg, which contributes to balance and reduced centrifugal load at higher spindle speeds for improved surface quality.
