Shank Milling Cutter S178TM — 22 mm cutter, 3‑flute, for APXT 1003 indexable inserts (Teknik Makina)

The Shank Milling Cutter S178TM is an indexable‑insert milling tool engineered for general machining tasks where quick insert replacement and stable clamping are essential

• 22 mm cutting diameter
• 3 cutting edges for balanced cuts
• 20 mm shank for secure clamping
• Compatible with APXT 1003 Korloy inserts

Faster setup and repeatable results for production runs

The Shank Milling Cutter S178TM brings measurable process advantages through an indexable‑insert design that reduces downtime during tool changes. With a 22 mm cutting diameter and 3 cutting edges, the cutter offers stable engagement and predictable chip volumes, which translates into shorter setup times and consistent cycle times on CNC machines. The use of standard inserts means repeatability is driven by insert geometry rather than whole‑tool regrinds, so production batches remain uniform and inspection results more reliable.

Secure clamping and mechanical stability for accurate cuts

A solid shank profile with a 20 mm diameter and a total length of 150 mm provides rigidity where it matters, reducing deflection under load. The overall mass of 0.36 kg supports controlled dynamics at typical spindle speeds, while the robust clamping system — secured with a Torx M2.5x5.5 screw tightened with a T8 key — ensures the insert seat remains stable during interrupted cuts. These characteristics minimise vibration, protect tool life and preserve workpiece tolerances.

Controlled chip flow and flexible machining options

The tool’s 60 mm effective cutting length and a 90° cutting angle are configured for a balance between material removal and surface finish. The three‑flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, reducing heat build‑up and enabling a wider window of cutting parameters for mixed workloads. Compatibility with APXT 1003 indexable inserts — supplied by Korloy — allows straightforward selection of grades and coatings to match workpiece requirements without changing the holder.

Cost‑effective maintenance and workshop reliability

Designed for straightforward insert replacement, the cutter reduces consumable waste and simplifies inventory: only the inserts need regular replenishment, not the entire tool body. The indexable system supports predictable tooling costs and easier tool‑room management, while the choice of established insert sizes keeps sourcing simple. For workshops seeking dependable down‑time reductions, this holder is a pragmatic addition to an existing tooling strategy.

FAQ

What insert type does this cutter use? The cutter uses APXT 1003 indexable inserts, compatible with common Korloy grades for a range of applications.

Is the clamping screw specification included and what key is required? Yes; the holder uses a Torx M2.5x5.5 screw and requires a T8 key for secure tightening.

What are the principal dimensions that affect machine setup? Key dimensions are the 22 mm cutting diameter, 20 mm shank diameter and 150 mm overall length; these determine holder clearance and suitable collet or chuck choice.

Can the S178TM be used for both roughing and finishing operations? Yes; the three‑flute geometry and 60 mm cutting length allow the S178TM to be applied for heavier material removal as well as for finishing passes when paired with the appropriate APXT 1003 insert grade.

Who supplies the S178TM and where can further product details be found? The tool is offered by Teknik Makina and supplied through Metav Werkzeuge; Metav can advise on insert grades, stock and delivery options.
