Shaft milling cutter S148TM by Teknik Makina — 25 mm shank, for APXT 1003 indexable inserts

Shaft milling cutter S148TM engineered for indexable insert milling in industrial production, designed to accept APXT 1003 inserts for efficient face and shoulder operations

• 25 mm shank diameter for high rigidity
• Compatible with APXT 1003 indexable inserts
• Three cutting edges for consistent material removal
• 90° cutting angle for accurate shoulder milling

Greater stability through compact, rigid design

The cutter is built around a 25 mm shank, which provides enhanced rigidity compared with smaller shanks and reduces deflection during interrupted cuts. The result is a more consistent surface finish and extended insert life. With a 100 mm overall length and a 35 mm effective cutting length, the tool minimises overhang while still offering sufficient reach for many commonplace milling tasks. These dimensional choices make the tool suitable for setups where a balance of accessibility and stiffness is required, reducing the need for additional stabilisation or multiple finishing passes.

Fast, secure insert clamping reduces downtime

Compatibility with APXT 1003 indexable inserts and the use of an M2.5x5.5 Torx screw (Torx key T8) allow for quick insert changes and reliable clamping. The three-edge insert arrangement spreads cutting forces evenly, which improves chip control and lowers the risk of localised insert fracture. Machines benefit from shorter tool-change intervals and predictable cutting behaviour, which supports higher machine utilisation and a smoother production flow. The tool is specified to accept Korloy-manufactured inserts, aligning with common workshop stocking strategies.

Practical dimensions and handling for everyday workshop use

Key dimensions are chosen for straightforward integration into standard toolholders and adapters. The 25 mm shank diameter pairs with common collet and shrink-fit holders, while the 35 mm cutting length suits many slotting and shoulder operations without excessive tool overhang. At a weight of 0.365 kg, the tool presents modest inertia for controlled acceleration and deceleration on CNC machines. These characteristics simplify clamping checks and balancing procedures and help maintain repeatability across batches, supporting predictable throughput in routine production environments.

Application guidance and machining considerations

The tool’s 90° cutting angle is intended for square-shoulder and face milling tasks where dimensional accuracy of the shoulder is required. The three cutting edges offer a balance between metal removal rate and surface integrity; selecting suitable feeds and speeds for the workpiece material will determine the achievable tool life and part quality. The design supports standard insert geometries and replacement routines, enabling maintenance teams to manage inventory efficiently. For precise machining parameters, follow the machine and insert manufacturer's guidelines to match cutting data to the workpiece and setup.

FAQ

Which inserts fit this cutter?
The cutter accepts APXT 1003 indexable inserts and is specified for inserts from Korloy compatible with that designation.

How many cutting edges does the tool use and why does that matter?
The tool uses three cutting edges, which balances metal removal rate and insert strength, promoting even wear and improved chip formation.

What are the key dimensions to check for toolholder compatibility?
Check the 25 mm shank diameter, 35 mm cutting length, and 100 mm overall length to ensure compatibility with the chosen holder and adequate clearance in the machine setup.

What hardware is used to secure the insert?
Insert clamping is via an M2.5x5.5 Torx screw, tightened with a T8 Torx key; follow the insert supplier’s tightening guidelines.

Is the geometry suitable for square-shoulder milling?
Yes—the 90° cutting angle is intended to produce accurate square shoulders and flat faces when correctly applied.
