Shank milling cutter S173-1TM – for APKT 1003 indexable inserts, 16 mm shank, internal coolant (Teknik Makina)

The Shank milling cutter S173-1TM is a compact, indexable milling tool engineered for precise face and slot milling using APKT 1003 inserts, suited to small toolholders and applications demanding reliable coolant delivery.

• 16 mm shank diameter for compact toolholders
• Internal coolant supply for efficient chip evacuation
• Compatible with APKT 1003 inserts by Korloy
• 150 mm overall length, 50 mm cutting length

Reliable performance through compact engineering

The S173-1TM is built around a 16 mm shank, a commonly used size that enables mounting in compact toolholders while maintaining rigidity. The cutter accepts APKT 1003 indexable inserts, which allow quick insert changes and consistent cutting geometry, reducing non-productive time. The presence of internal coolant channels focuses cutting fluid directly at the cutting edge, improving lubrication and cooling; this lowers tool wear and contributes to a more consistent surface finish. These design choices deliver a balance of durability and ease of maintenance, making the tool suitable for repetitive industrial milling tasks where productivity and uptime matter.

Stability and repeatability for consistent results

A 150 mm overall length combined with a 50 mm cutting length provides a controlled overhang that helps to limit vibration during machining. With two cutting edges, the cutter offers predictable cutting forces that support repeatable results across batches. The modest mass (approx. 0.23 kg) and standard shank diameter make it straightforward to integrate the tool into existing setups without complex balancing. The result is improved dimensional accuracy and a smoother milling process, particularly in operations where tool change frequency and consistent part quality drive process economics.

Fast insert handling and low‑effort maintenance

Replacement and fastening are simplified: the cutter uses Torx T8 engagement and M2.5×5.5 Torx screws for secure insert clamping. These standardised fastening elements ensure reliable seating of APKT 1003 inserts from Korloy and make routine servicing efficient. The internal coolant connection reduces the need for external nozzle adjustments and helps maintain chip control, which in turn reduces cleaning intervals at the machine. Together, these features lower total cycle downtime and support smoother shopfloor operation.

FAQ

Can the cutter be used with APKT 1003 inserts from other manufacturers?
The cutter accepts standard APKT 1003 indexable inserts; compatibility with other suppliers is generally possible provided the inserts match the APKT 1003 geometry and clamping specifications.

How does internal coolant improve machining performance?
Internal coolant delivers fluid directly to the cutting edge, improving lubrication and cooling which reduces tool wear and assists chip evacuation when using the S173-1TM.

What clamping hardware is required for insert replacement?
Insert fastening on this cutter uses Torx T8 engagement with M2.5×5.5 Torx screws; these are the specified components for secure insert mounting.

Is the 16 mm shank suitable for compact toolholders?
A 16 mm shank is a standard size for compact toolholders and offers a good compromise between rigidity and compatibility for smaller milling setups.
