S158TM Shank Cutter – 12 mm shank, for APXT 1003 indexable inserts (Teknik Makina)

The S158TM is a precision shank cutter designed for use with APXT 1003 indexable inserts, engineered for shoulder milling and face operations where rigidity and quick insert changes are required.

• Shank Ø12 mm for rigidity and stability
• Compatible with APXT 1003 indexable inserts
• 90° cutting angle for reliable shoulder milling
• Secured by T8 Torx screw M2.5×5.5

Faster setup and stable performance for repetitive machining

The combination of a 12 mm shank and a compact total length of 120 mm reduces overhang and improves stiffness, which in turn raises stability during serial operations. With a single cutting edge, the tool offers predictable chip formation that simplifies process planning and coolant strategy. The practical result is fewer interruptions for rework and a consistently repeatable finish when milling shoulders or faces on medium-duty components.

Compatibility and interchangeability that streamline tooling inventories

Designed specifically for APXT 1003 indexable inserts and compatible with Korloy-manufactured plates, the cutter reduces the number of specialised holders required across a shop floor. The 90° cutting angle provides a true shoulder cut, eliminating offset passes in many finishing operations. Specification of the Torx fastener as M2.5×5.5 (Torx key T8) clarifies the retention system and supports quick insert clamping and replacement without specialised tooling.

Practical advantages for workshop reliability and maintenance

At only 0.112 kg and with a cutting length of 27 mm, the shank cutter balances feed responsiveness with manageable mass for reduced spindle load. The straightforward retention via a Torx screw makes insert changes fast, while the standardized insert interface simplifies spare-part stocking. Sourcing this cutter through a distributor that applies a strict quality filter ensures the machining tool meets industrial expectations for repeatability and longevity; the S158TM is designed to integrate into established toolrooms and production cells with minimal adaptation.
