S173TM shank cutter for APXT 1003 indexable inserts — 16 mm shank, 2 cutting edges (Teknik Makina)

The S173TM is a shank cutter engineered for use with APXT 1003 indexable inserts, offering a compact overall length for machine compatibility and straightforward insert replacement.

• Robust 16 mm shank for secure holder fit
• 2 cutting edges for efficient material removal
• 50 mm cutting length for deeper machining
• Compatible with APXT 1003 indexable inserts

Secure clamping for consistent results

The solid 16 mm shank delivers high stability in standard tool holders, reducing vibration and improving surface finish during milling. At a weight of 0.23 kg, the tool maintains low inertia while offering the rigidity needed for indexed‑insert systems. This specification helps stabilise cutting forces and supports repeatable tool offsets in CNC routines, which in turn reduces setup time and contributes to predictable production cycles.

Cost-efficient cutting with replaceable APXT 1003 inserts

Designed around the APXT 1003 insert family, the cutter uses 2 cutting edges that enable efficient chip formation and even wear distribution. Inserts are secured by a Torx M2.5x5.5 screw tightened with a T8 key for fast, reliable changes. The indexable‑insert concept minimises tooling costs over time: only the insert is replaced when worn, not the entire tool body, making this shank cutter a pragmatic choice for workshops that balance performance and running costs.

Reach and rigidity for typical milling tasks

With an overall length of 150 mm and a dedicated cutting length of 50 mm, the design provides reach for moderate depths while keeping deflection low. The 90° cutting angle supports square‑shoulder milling and straightforward face operations, while the nominal 16 mm diameter ensures compatibility with a wide range of toolholders. These dimensions make the tool suitable for installations where access and tool clearance are constraints but rigidity cannot be compromised.

Workshop integration and practical handling

The shank cutter supports the Korloy range of inserts and is identified by SKU S173TM, simplifying procurement and inventory management. Its modular nature enables quick replacement cycles and predictable tool life planning. For manufacturers and contract workshops aiming for stable process output, this cutter integrates with existing indexable systems and reduces downtime associated with tool changes.
