Shank cutter S181TM – indexable cutter for APXT 1003, 32 mm shank

The Shank cutter S181TM is a shank-mounted indexable milling cutter engineered for secure insert clamping and efficient face milling in general workshop and production environments.

• 32 mm shank diameter
• Compatible with APXT 1003 inserts
• Four cutting edges for balanced cutting
• 90° cutting angle for face milling

Consistent material removal with reduced vibration

The S181TM is designed as an indexable insert cutter with a 32 mm shank and a moderate overall length, giving a predictable stiffness-to-reach ratio. The combination of a substantial shank diameter and four cutting edges minimises chatter and spreads cutting forces across multiple edges, which leads to more uniform tool wear and improved surface finish. The 90° cutting angle is particularly advantageous for face milling operations where axial engagement and flat surfaces are priorities, enabling stable passes with consistent material removal rates.

Fast insert changes and secure clamping for high uptime

Tool change efficiency is built in: inserts for this holder follow the APXT 1003 format and are secured with an M2.5x5.5 Torx screw, tightened using a T8 key. The straightforward clamping concept reduces downtime during index changes and routine maintenance. Reduced changeover time improves machine utilisation and makes the cutter a practical choice where frequent insert indexing is part of the process. The robust fixing method also contributes to repeatable axial and radial run-out, supporting precise, repeatable cuts.

Practical dimensions for workshop flexibility

With an overall length of 150 mm and a cutting length of 45 mm, this tool balances accessibility and rigidity for common milling tasks. The nominal diameter is 32 mm, and the tool weight is approximately 0.916 kg, values that reflect a stable toolholder suitable for both automated and manual setups. These dimensional characteristics make the shank-mounted cutter suitable for conventional face milling and light shoulder work where tool stability and predictable deflection behaviour are required.

Clear compatibility and maintenance facts

The holder is produced for use with APXT 1003 style indexable inserts and is listed as compatible with inserts from Korloy, simplifying procurement and replacement logistics. The design uses a standard Torx screw specification for insert fixation, enabling maintenance with commonly available tools. Spare parts and replacement inserts follow industry-standard formats, which helps to keep inventory manageable and reduces lead times for production-critical components.
