T-slot cutter S073TM — 75 mm, for VBMT/DCMT indexable inserts (55°/35°)

The T-slot cutter S073TM is a purpose-made milling tool for producing T-slots and undercut grooves in industrial workpieces, compatible with industry-standard VBMT 1604 inserts and designed for reliable performance in production and repair workshops.

• 75 mm diameter for wide T-slots
• Compatible with VBMT 1604 inserts
• 25 mm shank diameter for rigid clamping
• Supplied with M4x10 Torx screw T15

Precision slotting with defined cutting geometry

The cutter combines a defined 35° cutting angle with a three-edge configuration to deliver consistent engagement and chip formation during slotting operations. This geometry reduces variable cutting loads and supports predictable material removal, which is especially important in batch production and toolpath planning. The head’s 75 mm diameter provides a large contact circumference for efficient metal removal, while the three cutting edges offer a compromise between cutting speed and surface finish. The tool is identified by SKU S073TM and is supplied ready for standard indexable inserts.

Stability and vibration control for reliable results

A 25 mm shank and an overall length of 130 mm provide a stable connection to the toolholder, helping to reduce deflection and chatter in moderate to heavy cuts. The measured mass of 0.924 kg contributes to inertial stability at cutting speeds, and the shank-to-cutting-edge length of 40 mm maintains a compact overhang for improved rigidity. These characteristics support milling operations where repeatability and dimensional control are required, enabling smoother toolpaths and reduced scrap rates.

Insert compatibility and clamping system explained

The tool accepts VBMT 1604 indexable inserts; alternative seat geometries allow use of 55° DCMT inserts where appropriate. Indexable inserts permit quick edge renewal without regrinding, lowering downtime and simplifying inventory of cutting edges. Insert replacement is secured with an M4x10 Torx screw, tightened using a T15 key, ensuring a positive clamping interface and reliable seating. The cutter head design supports fast insert changes and secure retention under standard machining loads.

Designed for workshop efficiency and straightforward handling

With three cutting edges and standardised insert compatibility, the cutter reduces tooling complexity across multiple machines. The assembly uses conventional Torx hardware for repeatable clamp torque, while the machine-ready geometry minimises programming adjustments when switching from roughing to finishing passes. Documentation and parts lists accompany the tool, and its compatibility with common insert types simplifies procurement and tool management for production planners and maintenance teams.
