Shank milling cutter S172TM – for APXT 1003 indexable inserts, Ø 40 mm, 5 flutes (Teknik Makina)

The Shank milling cutter S172TM is a dedicated tool for industrial milling with APXT 1003 indexable inserts, designed for efficient face and shoulder milling where rapid insert changes and consistent chip control are required.

• Ø 40 mm cutting diameter
• Shank Ø 25 mm for secure clamping
• 5 cutting edges for uniform load distribution

Stable cutting performance with fewer tool changes

The tool’s Ø 40 mm cutting diameter combined with a shank Ø 25 mm gives increased rigidity that reduces vibration and improves surface finish during heavy-light milling cycles. Fitted with APXT 1003 indexable inserts, the system enables quick insert replacement and predictable cutting behaviour, which translates into measurable reductions in setup time and higher process uptime. The geometry supports controlled chip evacuation and steady tool life for repetitive production runs.

Secure clamping and straightforward maintenance

Clamping is achieved via a Torx fastener system (screw M2.5×5.5), using a Torx T8 key for safe and repeatable tightening. This simple fastening arrangement ensures secure insert retention under load and allows fast intervention during index changes or tool inspection. Compatibility with Korloy inserts and a standardised Torx interface means maintenance routines are short and tooling logistics can be standardised across workshops.

Built for production: predictable handling and repeatability

With an overall length 120 mm, a cutting length 40 mm and 5 cutting edges, the cutter balances accessibility for deep slots and the stiffness required for shoulder milling; the specified 90° cutting angle is optimised for square shoulder operations. The assembled unit’s weight 0.606 kg contributes to a balanced feel in the spindle while providing sufficient mass to damp minor vibrations. The S172TM integrates into existing toolholder systems without complex adaptations, offering a pragmatic route to higher productivity and consistent component quality.
