Shank Cutter S144TM – insert milling body, 20 mm shank, for APXT 1003 indexable inserts (Teknik Makina)

The Shank Cutter S144TM is an indexable-insert milling body engineered for shoulder and face milling where quick insert changes and process stability are required, compatible with APXT 1003 inserts for efficient production work

• 20 mm shank diameter
• Compatible with APXT 1003 indexable inserts
• Three cutting edges for stable machining
• Overall length 100 mm

Precise fit and reliable compatibility for indexable-insert milling

The S144TM body is designed around a 20 mm shank, providing rigid clamping and reduced runout compared with slimmer holders. Compatibility with APXT 1003 indexable inserts and recognised Korloy grades enables fast insert replacement and predictable tool life, which contributes directly to lower downtime and consistent surface finish. The assembly is secured with a Torx screw M2.5×5.5, tightened with a T8 key, simplifying on-machine maintenance and tool changes while maintaining repeatable seating of each insert.

Stable cutting geometry that improves cycle times

A three-cutting-edge configuration paired with a 90° cutting angle gives a balance of material removal capacity and surface quality, especially for shoulder milling and light facework. The 30 mm cutting length and symmetric insert arrangement permit stable feeds and reduced vibration, which often leads to shorter cycle times in repetitive operations. Selecting a cutter body that accepts indexable inserts reduces the expense of full-tool replacement and allows the machining strategy to focus on productivity and cost-efficiency.

Workshop practicality and safe handling

With an overall length of 100 mm and modest mass of 0.231 kg, the tool body is compact and easy to handle during setup and changeover. The indexable concept makes inserts the wearing component; the tool body itself requires minimal servicing, supporting lean workshop practices. The use of a standard Torx fastening method ensures compatibility with common toolkits and a secure clamping interface, promoting operator confidence and consistent seating torque across multiple insert changes.

Suitability across machining tasks and materials

Designed for flexible integration into milling workflows, this milling body suits a range of general-purpose applications where APXT 1003 inserts are recommended. The combination of rigid 20 mm shank, insert-based regrindability and clearly defined fixing hardware enables stable performance in conventional CNC equipment and reduces the need for multiple full-profile cutters, thereby simplifying inventory and tool management.

FAQ

What inserts fit this milling body?
The S144TM is specified for APXT 1003 indexable inserts; Korloy grades matching that index are compatible and commonly used with this cutter body.

How is the insert secured in the cutter body?
Inserts are secured by a Torx screw M2.5×5.5, tightened with a T8 key, ensuring repeatable clamping and simple replacement.

What machining tasks is the cutter body designed for?
This indexable-insert milling body is intended for shoulder and face milling where a 90° cutting angle and stable, repeatable performance are required.

Does the tool require frequent servicing?
The body itself is low-maintenance; wear is concentrated on the indexable inserts, which can be replaced individually to extend service intervals.

Is the cutter suitable for automated tool change systems?
The compact 100 mm overall length and standardised 20 mm shank make the body compatible with many CNC holders and automated tool systems, provided the machine accepts a 20 mm shank diameter.
