Shank milling cutter S174TM by Teknik Makina — 18 mm diameter, for APXT 1003 indexable inserts

The Shank milling cutter S174TM is a purpose-built shank milling tool for light-to-medium indexable-insert milling tasks, designed to accept APXT 1003-style inserts and deliver repeatable, secure cutting performance in industrial workshop settings.

• Compatible with APXT 1003 indexable inserts
• 18 mm cutting diameter, 2 cutting edges
• 16 mm shank diameter, 50 mm cutting length
• Torx screw M2.5×5.5, T8 key size

Accuracy and predictable process results for indexable-insert milling

The S174TM is configured to work with APXT 1003 indexable inserts, providing a reliable tool body that promotes consistent chip formation and repeatable dimensional output. The tool’s 18 mm diameter and 2 cutting edges reduce vibration and simplify chip control in interrupted or light-contour milling operations. For procurement and process planners, this combination translates into fewer tool changes and a predictable cut cycle time, which supports tighter scheduling and a more efficient production flow.

Secure holding and simple set-up reduce downtime

A 16 mm shank diameter ensures stable clamping in standard toolholders, minimising runout and heat-related deviation during short-run milling. The 50 mm cutting length offers sufficient engagement for shoulder and slot work without compromising rigidity. Fast, unambiguous fastening is provided via the Torx screw M2.5×5.5 (T8 key size), allowing quick insert replacement and torque that maintains clamping security under typical feed rates. Reduced set-up complexity leads to shorter machine idle times and higher overall equipment effectiveness.

Compatibility and workshop integration for flexible machining

Designed with compatibility in mind, the cutter accepts APXT 1003 inserts from recognised manufacturers such as Korloy, enabling easy inventory alignment with existing insert families. The 90° cutting angle suits face and peripheral milling tasks where square shoulders and defined contour transitions are required. As a tooling specialist component from Teknik Makina, the shank milling tool is a straightforward option for workshops aiming to consolidate tooling types while retaining process reliability and ease of maintenance.

Practical considerations for specification and procurement

Specification data such as 18 mm cutting diameter, 16 mm shank, 50 mm cutting length and the required Torx screw M2.5×5.5 (T8) are provided to support fixture planning and procurement decisions. The tool’s compact overall length of 150 mm and a recorded mass of 0.246 kg make it easy to handle in tool rooms and to include in set-ups for CNC machining centres. Where tool selection must balance rigidity with flexibility, this cutter offers a pragmatic compromise for many general milling applications using indexable inserts.

FAQ

Which indexable inserts fit this shank cutter?
The shank cutter is designed for APXT 1003 indexable inserts and is compatible with inserts from Korloy that follow this designation.

What are the key dimensions to check for toolholder compatibility?
Check the 16 mm shank diameter and the overall length of 150 mm when planning for holder clamping and tool projection.

How many cutting edges does the cutter have and what does that mean for machining?
This cutter has 2 cutting edges, which typically improves stability and chip evacuation for shoulder and slot milling compared with higher-edge-count tools in similar diameters.

What fastening hardware is required for the inserts?
Insert clamping uses a Torx screw M2.5×5.5; the corresponding key size is T8 for correct torque application.

Is the cutting angle suitable for square-shoulder milling?
Yes; the tool features a 90° cutting angle, making it appropriate for square-shoulder and face milling where defined edges are required.
