21mm Shank End Mill For XNEX 0403 Indexable Inserts, 3 Cuts, 150mm Overall Length - Teknik Makina

High rigidity and precise compatibility with XNEX 0403 indexable inserts combine with a 20 mm shank and a 21 mm cutting diameter to deliver stable, efficient milling performance; order and further procurement can be arranged via Metav Werkzeuge or discussed with the technical consultants for integration support.

S196TM — Indexable milling cutter, Ø21 mm, 20 mm shank (Teknik Makina)

The S196TM is an indexable milling cutter designed for use with XNEX 0403 indexable inserts, optimised for secure insert clamping and reliable machining in CNC and conventional setups.

• Indexable system for XNEX 0403 inserts
• 21 mm cutting diameter for medium cuts
• 20 mm shank for secure toolholding
• Torx fastening M2.5x7, T8 key

Stable insert compatibility for predictable machining results

The tool is engineered around the XNEX 0403 insert system to ensure a repeatable clamping interface and reduced setup variation. A 20 mm shank enhances axial stability in standard holders, while the Ø21 mm cutting diameter balances rigidity and accessibility. These design choices result in consistent tool life and predictable cutting behaviour, which supports efficient process planning and reduces unplanned downtime.

Efficient material removal with three cutting edges

A three-edge geometry provides a consistent chip formation and an even distribution of cutting forces; this leads to smoother surface generation and steady feed performance. The configuration is particularly effective where indexable tooling is preferred for fast insert changes, since the replaceable edges allow for rapid recovery between tool changes and minimise non-productive time. The overall length of 150 mm offers sufficient reach without excessive overhang.

Secure fastening and straightforward maintenance

Insert retention is achieved via a Torx M2.5x7 fastening system requiring a T8 key, enabling precise torque application and reliable clamping. The fastening concept supports repeatable insert seating, which preserves cutting geometry and extends usable insert life. Where on-site tool service is required, the modular nature of indexable systems simplifies maintenance and reduces the need for specialist regrinding.

Integration into production flows and toolholders

The cutter’s standard 20 mm shank diameter is compatible with common toolholders and collet systems, while the tool geometry is suited to a range of milling strategies where indexable insert solutions are advantageous. The single SKU reference supports inventory control and ordering within tool management systems, and the robust mechanical design contributes to reduced vibration and improved dimensional control during machining.
