Shank Cutter S176TM — Indexable insert cutter for APXT 1003, Ø20 mm (Teknik Cutting Tools)

A Shank Cutter S176TM designed for heavy-duty indexable milling where secure clamping and repeatable geometry are essential; ideal for workshops and production lines using APXT 1003 indexable inserts.

• Indexable insert shank cutter Ø20 mm
• Fits APXT 1003 indexable inserts
• 3 cutting edges for stable machining
• Torx clamping with M2.5x5.5 screw

Deliver consistent material removal with secure insert mounting

The S176TM combines a stable Ø20 mm shank with a three-edge configuration to deliver steady cutting forces and predictable tool behaviour, which reduces vibration and improves surface finish. Compatibility with APXT 1003 indexable inserts makes insert changes straightforward and cost-efficient: worn cutting edges are replaced without sending the whole tool for regrinding, lowering lifecycle costs and machine downtime. The result is faster cycle times and fewer process interruptions in serial milling tasks.

Built geometry for repeatability and easy clamp replacement

With a 60 mm cutting length and a total length of 150 mm, the tool balances reach and rigidity for many common milling operations. The clamping system uses a Torx screw M2.5x5.5 tightened with a T8 key, ensuring repeatable seat pressure and secure insert retention under load. The three cutting edges produce uniform chip loads that support stable feeds and help extend insert life, while the modest tool weight of 0.345 kg contributes to lower spindle stress during prolonged cycles.

Designed for workshop integration and straightforward stocking

The cutter is specified for APXT 1003 inserts and lists Korloy as a compatible insert manufacturer, simplifying procurement and inventory management for production and maintenance teams. The modular nature of the system supports rapid insert replacement, which lowers throughput risk in mixed-shop environments. For companies seeking consolidated sourcing, Metav Werkzeuge provides supply continuity from its Emmerich hub and technical accompaniment for selecting matching inserts and clamping components.
