Shank Cutter S146TM — for APXT 1003 Indexable Inserts, Ø22 mm, 3 Cutting Edges (Teknik Makina)

A Shank Cutter S146TM engineered for milling with APXT 1003 indexable inserts, combining a 22 mm cutting diameter and a 90° cutting angle for consistent face and slot milling.

• Compatible with APXT 1003 indexable inserts
• Ø22 mm cutting diameter
• 3 cutting edges for stable machining
• M2.5x5.5 Torx screw and T8 key

High-performance machining through proven insert compatibility

The S146TM is designed around the APXT 1003 insert system, offering the economic advantage of replaceable cutting edges and predictable performance. By accepting Korloy inserts, the tool allows rapid return to cutting after an insert change, reducing machine downtime. The arrangement of 3 cutting edges distributes cutting forces evenly, which helps to maintain a smooth chip flow and steady spindle load. For production environments prioritising throughput, this configuration supports repeatable results and lowers per-part tooling costs.

Rigidity and set-up precision for stable results

A 20 mm shank provides the necessary stiffness for many CNC milling setups, while the 30 mm cutting length balances reach with rigidity. The precise shank diameter and overall 100 mm length contribute to predictable deflection characteristics during cutting, improving dimensional stability. The cutter is fastened using an M2.5x5.5 Torx screw (T8), enabling secure clamping of the insert and simple servicing with commonly available torque tools. These features translate into fewer interruptions for rework and a shorter machine setup time.

Practical advantages in workshop workflows

Selecting a shank cutter that matches a widely used insert type helps streamline inventory; stocking the S146TM means fewer complete cutters are required when inserts are renewed. The Ø22 mm cutting diameter is suited to a range of face and light slotting operations where APXT 1003 inserts are specified. The tool’s modest weight (0.243 kg) and standard fixing method make handling and replacement straightforward on machine trolleys and in production cells, promoting a cleaner changeover process and safer tool handling routines.

Maintenance and serviceability that keep production moving

Service tasks are reduced to a quick insert replacement and a single Torx screw operation, with the T8 key commonly available across maintenance toolsets. The straightforward construction simplifies inspection and reduces the time needed for tool checks between shifts. Keeping a small stock of APXT 1003 inserts and M2.5x5.5 screws ensures minimal downtime; the modular nature of indexable systems helps to preserve cutter bodies while delivering consistent cutting performance over many insert cycles.

FAQ

Which inserts are compatible with this cutter?
The S146TM is designed for APXT 1003 indexable inserts and is compatible with Korloy-manufactured inserts in that size and seat form.

What are the key dimensions to check when mounting the shank cutter?
Check the 20 mm shank diameter, the Ø22 mm cutting diameter, and the overall 100 mm length to ensure correct clamping and adequate clearance in the machine setup.

How is the insert secured in the S146TM?
The insert is fastened with an M2.5x5.5 Torx screw, tightened using a T8 key for consistent clamping force and easy replacement.

Is the S146TM suitable for heavy roughing operations?
The S146TM is optimised for stable, repeatable milling with APXT 1003 inserts; for heavy roughing, consider cutter and insert combinations specified for higher cutting forces and larger insert geometries.

Can the cutter body be reused after multiple insert changes?
Yes. The indexable system of the S146TM is intended to allow repeated insert replacement while retaining the cutter body, offering cost efficiency across multiple insert cycles.
