S169TM — 25 mm shank indexable milling cutter, compatible with APXT 1003 inserts (Teknik Makina)

The S169TM is a solid-shank milling cutter engineered for efficient face and slot milling operations where APXT 1003 indexable inserts are used, combining a compact 25 mm diameter with a 90° cutting geometry for predictable machining results.

• 25 mm shank for stable toolholding
• 40 mm cutting length for deep engagement
• Compatible with APXT 1003 indexable inserts
• Torx screw M2.5x5.5 included, T8 key specified

Consistent surface quality through stable design

The shank’s 25 mm diameter and balanced overall length provide mechanical rigidity that translates into repeatable surface finish and dimensional stability. Combined with a true 90° cutting angle, the geometry is optimised for square shoulder operations and assures uniform chip evacuation when using the matched indexable inserts. This structural stability reduces vibration and tool deflection, which supports tighter tolerances and less rework in batch production.

Faster servicing and lower machine downtime

The indexable concept significantly shortens service times: worn edges are replaced rather than the entire tool, supporting predictable maintenance cycles and cost control. The cutter is designed for APXT 1003 inserts and secures inserts with an M2.5x5.5 Torx screw (T8 key), ensuring a robust clamp with rapid extraction and fitting. For production environments where tool change frequency affects throughput, this setup delivers a measurable improvement in availability and labour efficiency.

Productivity advantages in common milling tasks

Equipped with three cutting edges and a 40 mm effective cutting length, the tool offers an advantageous balance between engagement depth and feed efficiency. The three-edge layout reduces cutting forces per edge and favours consistent chip formation, which is especially beneficial for repetitive face milling and slotting operations. The combination of cutter geometry and insert technology can contribute to shorter cycle times and a clearer cost-per-part calculation in mixed-production shops.

Integration into workshop logistics and procurement

The cutter’s compact package and compatibility with widely used APXT inserts make it a practical addition to a standard tooling portfolio. Its modest weight and defined dimensions simplify tool inventory management and the procurement of spare screws and inserts. For customers requiring further specification data or application advice, technical support is available to match the tool to the intended insert grades and machine spindle interfaces, facilitating a smooth introduction into existing CNC workflows.
