S164TM — Shank cutter for APXT 1003 indexable inserts, Ø18 mm, 16 mm shank (Teknik Cutting Tools)

The S164TM is a shank cutter designed for mounting APXT 1003 indexable inserts, offering a compact solution for short-to-medium length milling operations in production and workshop settings.

• Compatible with APXT 1003 indexable inserts
• Ø18 mm cutting diameter
• 16 mm shank for standard toolholders
• Two cutting edges for stable milling

Precision and stability for consistent milling results

The cutter is engineered to deliver predictable chip control and repeatable geometry through its two-flute layout and a true 90° cutting angle. The combination of an Ø18 mm diameter with a 16 mm shank reduces overhang and vibration when mounted in standard holders, which translates into improved surface finish and extended insert life. For operations where cycle time and part quality are critical, this design enhances process reliability by supporting consistent engagement and stable cutting forces.

Fast insert changes minimise downtime

The clamping solution uses a Torx screw (M2.5x5.5) tightened with a T8 key, enabling rapid and secure indexable insert changes. This mechanical simplicity reduces changeover times and lowers the chance of incorrect seating compared with more complex clamping systems. When paired with APXT 1003 inserts from suppliers such as Korloy, the tool enables quick restoration of cutting performance on the shop floor, making it suitable for both frequent maintenance cycles and uninterrupted production runs.

Practical design for workshop and production use

With an overall length of 120 mm and a cutting length of 45 mm, the shank cutter balances reach with rigidity for many common milling tasks. The modest weight of 0.19 kg contributes to easier handling during tool setup and fewer balance concerns in high-speed spindles. This shank-mounted solution is particularly useful where inventory simplicity is valued: the same holder families and clamping fixtures used for other 16 mm shank tooling can be retained, simplifying toolroom logistics and reducing tooling stock complexity.

FAQ

What types of inserts fit this cutter?
The cutter is intended for APXT 1003 indexable inserts; it is compatible with inserts from vendors listed as suitable, for example Korloy.

How is the insert secured in the cutter?
An M2.5x5.5 Torx screw secures each insert; a T8 key is required for clamping and removal on the S164TM shank cutter.

What are the primary advantages of this shank-mounted solution?
The primary benefits are reduced overhang with a 16 mm shank, stable cutting from the two-flute geometry and fast insert changes that help keep production uptime high.

Is the cutter suitable for production environments?
Yes. The combination of an Ø18 mm diameter, short cutting length and robust clamping makes the tool appropriate for repetitive production tasks where changeover speed and consistency matter.

What should be checked before fitting the tool to a holder?
Verify holder compatibility with a 16 mm shank and confirm the correct seating for APXT 1003 inserts; ensure the Torx screw torque is applied according to workshop best practice.
