Shank milling cutter S166TM — 20 mm shank, for APXT 1003 indexable inserts (Teknik Makina)

The Shank milling cutter S166TM is a robust shank holder engineered to accept APXT 1003 indexable inserts for stable face and slot milling in production and workshop environments

• 20 mm shank diameter for stable clamping
• 40 mm effective cutting length
• 3 cutting edges for smooth chip removal
• Compatible with APXT 1003 indexable inserts

Stable clamping and repeatable tool geometry for consistent results

The holder is built around a 20 mm shank, which delivers secure clamping in standard toolholders and minimises vibration during cutting. With a three cutting edge arrangement and a defined 90° cutting angle, the tool provides predictable engagement and steady surface finish across repeated cycles. Use of APXT 1003 indexable inserts reduces machining variability because inserts can be indexed or replaced without regrinding; this keeps setup times low and supports stable process capability in series production. Compatibility with Korloy inserts offers broad availability of grades and geometries for matching cutting conditions.

Fast insert changes and low downtime through straightforward fastening

Insert replacement is facilitated by an accessible clamping system: the unit is secured using an M2.5x5.5 Torx screw tightened with a T8 key, enabling rapid, tool‑room friendly insert changes. The holder’s overall length of 120 mm and a 40 mm cutting length balance reach and rigidity, while a mass of 0.278 kg keeps handling straightforward during tool setup and magazine loading. These features combine to reduce changeover time and support higher machine utilisation without complex maintenance procedures.

Practical application benefits and dependable supply chain

Designed for operations that rely on indexable inserts, the cutter supports efficient replacement strategies and predictable consumable costs, helping to lower the cost per component in repetitive milling tasks. The compact design is suitable for face milling, shoulder milling and light slotting where APXT 1003 inserts are specified. Procuring the S166TM through Metav Werkzeuge ensures centralised sourcing and a quality filter for the European market, backed by a broad product range and consistent stock handling at the Emmerich site.
