Shank milling cutter S186TM – for APXT 1003 indexable inserts, Ø20 mm (Teknik Makina)

The Shank milling cutter S186TM is a robust shank tool engineered for machining operations with APXT 1003 indexable inserts, offering stable clamping and consistent chip control for CNC and manual milling stations

• Ø20 mm shank for stable clamping
• 70 mm cutting length for deep passes
• Compatible with APXT 1003 indexable inserts
• Torx screw M2.5x5.5 and T8 key included

Stable removal rates and dimensional consistency for production

The S186TM combines a Ø20 mm shank with a 70 mm cutting length to deliver a balance of rigidity and reach that supports repeatable material removal. With three cutting edges, the tool reduces vibration when subjected to moderate radial loads, improving surface finish and extending insert life. The specified geometry supports predictable tool life, which in turn lowers setup frequency and contributes to steady cycle times on serial workpieces.

Fast insert changes and secure clamping to reduce downtime

Tool changeover is simplified by a practical fastening system: the cutter uses a Torx screw M2.5x5.5 secured with the supplied T8 key, enabling quick, repeatable insert seating without additional fixtures. This configuration permits secure indexable insert clamping while allowing operators to perform service tasks at the machine, cutting internal handling times and keeping production flow uninterrupted.

Versatile compatibility and material handling for mixed workloads

Designed for APXT 1003 indexable inserts and tested for compatibility with Korloy grades, the cutter supports a variety of insert grades and chipbreaker types. This flexibility makes the tool suitable for aluminium, non-ferrous alloys and many steels when appropriate inserts are selected. The combination of indexable inserts and the shank tool approach provides economical edge changes versus solid-carbide alternatives, helping to manage tooling budgets without compromising performance.

Integration into CNC toolsets and handling considerations

With an overall length of 200 mm and a balanced mass of 0.5 kg, the shank cutter fits most standard toolholders while minimising centrifugal imbalance at moderate spindle speeds. The 90° face geometry delivers conventional shoulder milling behaviour, aiding in perpendicular wall generation and accurate step features. Where fixture rigidity and spindle power are adequate, the cutter supports efficient shoulder passes and pocketing with predictable forces and consistent surface results.
