S156TM shank cutter — Ø40 mm, 5‑flute indexable cutter (Teknik Makina)

A S156TM shank cutter engineered for use with APXT 1003 indexable inserts, offering stable clamping and fast insert changes for industrial milling applications

• Ø40 mm cutting diameter, 5 flutes
• Robust 25 mm shank for stable clamping
• Compatible with APXT 1003 / Korloy inserts
• Torx M2.5×5.5 screws, T8 key required

Stable clamping for consistent material removal

The tool is built around a 25 mm shank and a Ø40 mm body, providing high torsional rigidity and reduced vibration during milling. With 5 flutes and a 30 mm cutting length, the geometry favours steady chip evacuation and even loading of each cutting edge, which supports consistent surface quality and repeatable cycle times. The modest weight of 0.477 kg and a 100 mm overall length help to balance the cutter in common toolholders while limiting extension from the spindle — a practical combination for machining setups where tool deflection must be kept to a minimum.

Efficient insert handling and proven compatibility

Designed for indexable operation with APXT 1003 inserts, the milling head simplifies maintenance and cost control by allowing worn inserts to be replaced in seconds. Fast, secure clamping is achieved via Torx M2.5×5.5 screws, tightened with a T8 key, which reduces downtime and ensures repeatable seating of inserts. Compatibility with Korloy-type inserts broadens tooling options and streamlines reordering; the modular design therefore contributes directly to a lower total cost of ownership in production environments where insert change frequency is high.

Purpose-built for industrial milling workflows

A 90° cutting angle offers a reliable compromise between axial engagement and radial cutting force, making the cutter suitable for a range of milling tasks from shoulder milling to semi-finishing. The indexable concept reduces the number of complete tools required in the workshop, since damaged edges are replaced instead of the entire cutter. Together with the tool's compact dimensions and robust shank, this results in easier tool management, reduced inventory complexity and improved machine uptime — advantages that matter in both jobbing shops and production lines.

FAQ

What inserts fit this cutter?
The S156TM shank cutter accepts APXT 1003 indexable inserts; compatibility with Korloy inserts is specified for flexible sourcing.

How are the inserts secured?
Inserts are fastened with Torx M2.5×5.5 screws; a T8 key is required to achieve the correct torque and repeatable seating.

What are the key dimensions to consider for toolholder selection?
Use a 25 mm shank holder and allow for a 100 mm overall length when calculating reach; the cutter’s Ø40 mm diameter and 30 mm cutting length determine engagement limits.

Is this cutter suitable for heavy roughing?
The robust 25 mm shank and five cutting edges provide good rigidity for demanding operations, while the indexable design lets users adapt insert grades for heavier cuts.

Can the cutter deliver repeatable results in production?
Yes — the combination of precise insert clamping, a 90° cutting angle and a stable shank diameter supports consistent, repeatable machining across shifts.
