S180TM Shank Milling Cutter — 25 mm shank, 60 mm cutting length

A robust S180TM Shank Milling Cutter for versatile indexable-insert milling with APXT 1003 inserts, engineered for secure clamping and efficient shoulder work

• Shank Ø 25 mm for secure clamping
• 60 mm cutting length for deeper passes
• Compatible with APXT 1003 indexable inserts
• Torx M2.5×5.5 screw and T8 key included

Consistent rigidity for repeatable cuts

The tool's 25 mm shank and well balanced 150 mm overall length produce reliable clamping stability, which reduces chatter and maintains dimensional accuracy during longer cuts. With a 90° cutting angle, the geometry is tailored to shoulder and face milling operations that demand sharp 90-degree shoulders. The increased rigidity directly improves process reliability, meaning fewer part rejects and less time lost to rework — a measurable benefit for batch production and industrial environments.

Extended reach that expands capability

Featuring a 60 mm cutting length, this cutter allows deeper engagement without immediate overhang compromise. The longer cutting reach can reduce the need for multiple setups when profiling deeper features, thereby shortening cycle times. Combined with three precision edges, the design supports steady material removal rates while preserving tool life, a rational advantage for shops aiming to increase throughput with minimal fixture changes.

Fast insert changes and secure fastening

Designed for APXT 1003 indexable inserts and compatible with Korloy variants, the system simplifies insert replacement. The supplied Torx M2.5×5.5 screw and T8 key provide secure clamping of the insert pocket, allowing quick, repeatable tool service without special adapters. Faster changeovers translate into less machine downtime and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), a practical gain for production-focused workshops.

Practical fit for everyday machining tasks

This cutter's three cutting edges and a compact mass of 0.563 kg contribute to predictable dynamic behaviour in milling spindles. Suitable for general-purpose milling tasks where a sturdy interface and standardised inserts are preferred, the tool supports familiar workflows and reduces the need for bespoke tooling. The combination of tried-and-tested insert standards and a straightforward shank design makes it a pragmatic choice for both maintenance shops and production lines.

FAQ

Which inserts fit this cutter?
The S180TM is designed for APXT 1003 indexable inserts and is compatible with Korloy-manufactured variants that follow the same APXT 1003 specification.

What are the critical dimensions to check for machine compatibility?
Check the 25 mm shank diameter and the 150 mm overall length of the S180TM; these determine whether the cutter fits the spindle and provides the required reach for the application.

Is a fastening tool supplied with the cutter?
Yes. The S180TM is supplied with a Torx M2.5×5.5 screw and a T8 key for secure insert clamping and straightforward insert changes.

How many cutting edges does the tool have and why does that matter?
The cutter has three cutting edges, which helps distribute wear and provides a balance between cutting stability and efficient material removal for general milling tasks.

What kind of milling operations suit this tool best?
With a 90° cutting angle and a long cutting length, the tool is well suited to shoulder and face milling where square shoulders and deeper passes are required.
