Precise clamping and predictable tool behaviour for repeatable parts

The combination of a 16 mm shank and defined geometry gives the tool consistent rigidity and repeatable run-out, which is essential when milling under tight tolerances. With two cutting edges and a 90° cutting angle, the design reduces vibration and enables steady material removal rates. This results in a predictable surface finish and extended insert life, translating into lower process variability and less rework in serial production. The robust connection between holder and spindle supports stable feeds and speeds, improving cycle-time reliability on production machines.

Compatibility and secure insert fixation that simplifies tooling logistics

Engineered to accept APXT 1003 indexable inserts (Korloy-compatible), the cutter uses a Torx M2.5×5.5 securing screw and T8 key for fast, repeatable insert changes. The 40 mm cutting length and 120 mm overall length allow safe access to deeper features while maintaining cut stability. Clear indexability of the insert type makes inventory management straightforward: keep a stock of matching APXT 1003 inserts and the holder, and changeovers are quick. Where quick turnaround and low downtime matter, this format supports efficient workflows and helps maintain throughput.

Integrates with workshop workflows and reduces supplier complexity

Lightweight at approximately 0.185 kg, the holder is easy to handle for set-up and balancing. The S162TM is identified by SKU S162TM for simple reordering and tool management within tool cabinets and CAM tool libraries. Procuring this tool via Metav Werkzeuge benefits from a central European distribution hub and quality filtering carried out in Emmerich, which helps ensure steady supply and conformity for production use. For teams consolidating suppliers, the compatibility with Korloy APXT 1003 inserts and clear specification reduces the need for multiple holder variants and simplifies purchasing decisions.

FAQ

What insert type does the cutter accept?
The holder accepts APXT 1003 indexable inserts; it is configured for Korloy-style APXT 1003 inserts and their seating geometry.

How is the insert fixed in place?
An M2.5×5.5 Torx screw secures the insert; the recommended key is T8, which ensures repeatable torque and stable seating.

What shank size is required in the machine spindle or collet?
The tool features a 16 mm shank diameter, so a matching 16 mm collet or holder is required for secure clamping.

How deep can this cutter mill reliably?
With a 40 mm effective cutting length and 120 mm overall length, the cutter is suitable for moderate-depth milling where the shank engagement and rigidity remain adequate.

Is the S162TM suitable for automated tool change systems?
Yes, the S162TM format and defined shank make it compatible with automated tool-change workflows provided the machine accepts a 16 mm shank holder.
