S140TM shank cutter — 16 mm shank, 90° cutting angle by Teknik Makina

the S140TM is a shank cutter designed for face and peripheral milling with indexable inserts, primarily for light to medium-duty industrial applications

• Compact 16 mm shank for tight toolholders
• 30 mm cutting length for deep engagement
• Holds APXT 1003 indexable inserts by Korloy
• Supplied with M2.5x5.5 Torx screw and T8 key

Consistent chip control and production repeatability

The tool is built to deliver stable machining results when paired with APXT 1003 indexable inserts. By using a dedicated insert interface, the cutter enables predictable chip evacuation and consistent flank contact, which together support reduced rework rates and stable tolerances in serial production. The combination of a 16 mm shank and a 90° cutting angle provides a compact footprint while maintaining effective cutting geometry for facing and light shoulder milling. The modular nature of the insert system also simplifies replacement: worn edges are swapped quickly without regrinding, which shortens downtime and keeps cycle times low.

Secure clamping and straightforward maintenance

Clamping is achieved using the supplied M2.5x5.5 Torx screw actuated with a T8 key, ensuring the insert pocket is fastened with consistent torque for repeatable seating. This reduces the likelihood of insert movement under load and supports improved tool life through uniform seat pressure. The cutter’s 30 mm cutting length offers enough engagement for many through-cut and slotting operations without excessive cantilever, helping to limit vibration. Routine maintenance is straightforward: inspection of the insert seat and screw before each shift guarantees secure retention and predictable machining behaviour.

Practical fit for mixed-workshop environments

Designed for compatibility with Korloy and other suppliers of APXT 1003-format inserts, the shank cutter suits workshops that prioritise flexibility and quick tooling changes. The small 16 mm diameter makes it suitable for compact toolholders and spindle configurations commonly found in CNC machining centres and smaller vertical mills. For purchasing and inventory management, the standardised insert format reduces the number of distinct spare parts required, which supports lean stock practices. The S140TM’s modest weight and compact form also make it easy to handle during set-up and toolroom checks.

FAQ

What insert format does the cutter accept?
The cutter accepts APXT 1003 indexable inserts; the S140TM is specified for that insert format and is compatible with Korloy APXT 1003 plates.

Which screw and key are required for insert clamping?
Insert clamping uses an M2.5x5.5 Torx screw, tightened with a T8 key as supplied with the S140TM shank cutter.

Is the S140TM suitable for compact toolholders?
Yes — the 16 mm shank diameter is intended for smaller toolholders and compact spindle configurations commonly used in machining centres.

How many cutting edges does the cutter have and what does that mean?
The cutter has 2 cutting edges, which balances material removal rate and stability; two edges provide efficient cutting with predictable load distribution for light to medium milling tasks.

Can the S140TM be used with other APXT 1003 insert manufacturers?
Yes — the S140TM is designed for the APXT 1003 insert geometry and can be used with any insert brand that conforms to that format, including Korloy.
