18 mm Shank Milling Cutter S174-1TM – Shank milling cutter for APKT 1003 indexable inserts, internal coolant (Teknik Makina)

The shank milling cutter S174-1TM is designed for secure insert retention and efficient chip evacuation in general workshop and light industrial milling applications.

• 18 mm cutter diameter with 150 mm overall length
• Internal coolant for improved chip evacuation
• Compatible with APKT 1003 indexable inserts (Korloy)
• Robust 16 mm shank, two cutting edges

Longer uninterrupted cycles through optimal coolant routing

The integrated internal coolant circuit channels cutting fluid directly to the cutting zone, which reduces heat build-up and supports stable cutting conditions. This targeted cooling shortens tool-change intervals and helps to maintain consistent cutting forces, resulting in longer uninterrupted machining cycles and improved process reliability. For operations requiring sustained contact with the workpiece, the focused coolant supply contributes to more predictable tool life and repeatable results.

Secure clamping and reduced vibration for consistent surface quality

A rigid 16 mm shank combined with precise insert mounting delivers high torsional stability and reduced vibration during milling. The two-cutting-edge configuration promotes balanced load distribution across the insert seats, improving surface finish and dimensional consistency. These mechanical advantages translate into fewer reworks and a more stable production output when performing slotting, shoulder milling or light face milling tasks.

Flexible compatibility for quick integration into existing toolsets

Designed to accept APKT 1003 indexable inserts and compatible with Korloy-specified grades, the cutter adapts to diverse machining tasks by simply selecting the appropriate insert geometry and grade. The 150 mm overall length with a 50 mm cutting-head length gives a versatile reach for typical workshop set-ups, while the compact diameter supports tight fixture clearances. This flexibility allows for straightforward tool changeover and rapid adaptation to different machining programmes.

Fast insert changes and straightforward maintenance

Insert retention uses a Torx system with a T8 key and a standard M2.5×5.5 screw, enabling quick and safe insert replacement with commonly available maintenance tools. The simple fastening method reduces downtime during routine service and supports controlled torque application to maintain clamping reliability. Regular inspection and correct torque on the replacement screws help preserve the cutter’s repeatable performance over multiple insert life cycles.
